I've posted these before but this is from 2005
2 bulls and a cow


3 bulls from opening morning 2005. Two of these bulls are the two bulls in the picture above

In the early 70's we got 8 guys in an Opal cadet.

There were 3 quartered bulls, 5 hunters and all the gear in that van when we pulled out of there.

Good times!

What're you, a clown? I ran a popsicle stick through my eyelid in the back of an Opel in the '70s.

Sweet Chevy's Shrapnel.Like that old brown one.Looks like a 76?
Why the switch to Dodge?

Good job

A lot of good eating in 2013

Pretty good John...a lot of good eating in that truck load. Bet it raised a few eyebrows if you drove through town that way.

Results from a 2011 MT Driveby Shooting...

Nice Brad.Is that you.Tough to tell without your stash.

Tis' me... ditched the goatee 5 years ago.

Time flies when your having fun.Again nice elk

I was talking everything but buying trucks to the Dodge dealer in Livingston the fall of 2008 after the whole economy tanked. I had a 2005 GMC at the time, a 3/4 ton V-8. They told me that now was the best time ever to buy a truck and told me to take the 2008 Bighorn Edition, crew cab, Cummins for a test drive. The sticker on it was $45,000.00. I drove it and told them it was still too much money at a discounted price of $33,000.00. After some bartering and throwing out some unrealistic numbers, they sold it to me for $29,000.00 I couldn't pass up a diesel pickup for $29,000.00, so I am now driving that same Dodge and it books for almost as much now as I paid for it over 4 years ago...

Sure does!

Thanks... and hope all's well in your camp.

Congratulations john!!!!
It may not be a world record but it beats my record of two in the back of a 72 Jeep Pickup. Both big fat cows, one taken in the center of the county road and the other taken on the far side of a 40 acre field. Backed right up to both of them and had hung up and skinned in my dads shop by 10am. Very near Elgin Oregon. When I can't remember.
The winch makes it almost easy. !!!!

We killed a couple cows once, and crammed them in the back of an old Toyota Land Cruiser. The hill we had to climb out was so steep the front end started hopping off the ground. We ended up with both strapped across the hood for weight.
Had pix somewhere, but that was 37 years ago.

Uhmmmm.....Any way I could tag along with one of you guys sometime?

I don't know if I have ever used the winch on my 4 wheeler for anything but loading dead animals...

Meat cleans up. Warm spoiled meat never gets better. I take my elk apart ASAP. They fit into four backpacks.

I have found that pictures show the difference between people that shoot game and those that shoot their mouth off...

Now that's Gods Country. Aren't there both mule deer and whitetail together there? Oregon's got a few whitetail and seems I saw a muley doe running with whitetail fawns in the fields going up the grade out of Elgin. Is that possible?
