Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Rethinking my Elk Hunting plans

I went solo this year during 1st rifle and shot my bull 4.5 mi from the truck, at ~11,600’, with about 1.5mi of that being ridiculously steep and nasty. I WILL NOT do that again. My knee still hurts. I learned my limit. At 52 going on 53, that was more than I need to be doing. I even got some help from fellow hunters that brought back some of the meat I had brought out from the nastiest area to a more prominent trail. Not really sure what I’ll do next year. .
