I have a cow tag and my buddy has a bull tag. My intention is to wack the first cow I can and get the work done so I can help him look for a bull and then get it packed out. If we bring home two elk, I'll probably be smiling (and aching) till Christmas.
I'll probably sing a different tune if/when it happens, but I gotta say, I'm looking forward to feeling the weight of an elk quarter on my back. For someone who's grown up on deer hunting in PA and dreaming of elk hunting "someday," I'm really stoked to finally get at it.
Ask me again in November how I'm feeling about packing elk.
