Very nice,
now you know what you'll be doing about this time every year till you drop!

Congrats!! You'll always remember your first. Now you'll be hooked on elk hunting. Good luck on your future elk hunts and learn something new every year..

Good job. What gun and load?

If they got wind of you, you were in for a helaciously long walk. They likely didn't stop for 5 miles.

That's awesome! Well done, and welcome to the group! Hi, my name is Jason, and I'm an elk hunter. It has been 5 days since my last elk hunt.
I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.
