Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Bull Down! Beaver connects!

More new from the Wilson Unit.

They made it out in one trip. They said fugkit and carried two bags each and took turns with the antlers for the five mile trip. The first mile and change was up and out of the clearcut, the balance was down a gravel logging road. In the wide landscape photo, the terrain can appear pretty tame. It's not. The last picture puts some scale on the size of the stumps. These cuts are an absolute mess of rot resistant woody debris, briar covered shear slides and the occasional handrail of new growth. The bull died on pretty good slope and had to be anchored so he didn't slough about whilst being butchered. This bull was shot on the same ridge that I shot mine on last year.

After the shot at first light, the cut came alive with elk retreating to the timber. Today was quiet. Two days left in this short OTC tag Costal Roosevelt season. They're off to bed for a 3am wakeup call.
