Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Let's See This Fall's Cows

We always see those skinny guys and their big bulls. How about the rest of us that like to kill elk and eat them? This fall was good for my son and I. He shot a calf with his bow, a cow with his 300 and I got a cow with my 300. Nothing but meat.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Travis got skunked...

Awesome pics shrap. I love hunting them and eating them. That's the only reason I go. I put in for cow tags every year, but it takes 5 years to get the tag. I hunt bulls when I'm not hunting cows. I could care less how big the antlers are, as they don't eat well anyway.... Too bad about Travis. Maybe he'll get one next year if he has a better guide and teacher...

It's what happens when you bring the correct head stamps....

Real comedians diversify their material.






Travis

Travis, none of them faced the adversity that you faced.

Upside down cow with 2 raking shots

Travis didn't get one with me either....

The only time it's appropriate to ridicule people is when I'm doing the ridiculing.



Travis

Don't take it so hard buddy. You might get one next year, if you don't invite shrappy. We know he screwed you up on this years hunt...

Travis I want to thank you for being such a good sport about all this. You've cheered me up this fall with you're responses to Shraps "Travis don't cut the mustard" thread. He's a mean spirited SOB ain't he?
I don't fault you. Anyone could miss seeing that big herd of elk there in the field in front of you. It happens. Way to shake it off.

Besides, I'm sure you make up for it in other, albeit less manly ways. Some people just aren't cut out for the rigors of serious big game roadhunting out west.

I personally think you got royally screwed by your guide too. That breakfast deal was a low blow.

His only consolation will be knowing he's not from Orygun.

Here's one. 22/250, shrap was spotting for me.

I got a 'nice, fat cow' on my highfence ranch handgun 'hunt'. The rancher was helpful and loaded her into the truck......

Hey! No cheatin with pearl handled pistola's

dammit, that's gen-U-wine fake Ivory......

There is that.

Very astute, gun with matching ammo. Note to self...

It's a shame that all the bulls that got posted on here this fall didn't get eaten.

Wow! There's one for the books...

I took my buddy on his first elk hunt and got him his first elk. Creeping through thick timber and finding them at 40yds, it was pretty awesome.

Why one for the books Shrapnel?

That is about as classic a picture of "where it fell" and still be able to retrieve it...
