We shot any that were legal on the way back to camp which might have been 1/2 way from the elk hunting area.(2-3 miles) Out elk hunting I let quite a few bigger ones go. It could be a B&C, but if I am after elk, I let them walk. Big deer never interested me much. I can shoot bigger deer in my back yard than I see in elk country .When I do shoot them they are just added meat in the freezer


If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
