Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Elk at 300yds

I am not missing anything saddlesore. I like the mountains and the trip as much as anyone, but I sure ain't hunting to go home empty, although it does happen. You can't justify the "meat" as cheaper than beef, so the "I hunt for the meat" saying is pure hogwash. Tags aren't cheap, neither are rifles, fuel and all the other things that go with hunting. The meat is a nice excuse to get out and kill something <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> My full intention when shouldering a rifle and pack is to punch tags. That is what I am there for. The other things that go along with it are the pleasurable biproducts of hunting (nature, the smells, being outdoors...etc). Maybe when I get a lot older, sitting around the campfire telling lies, sleeping in, and going for a horse ride in the hills will be more important. For now, I will keep punching tags and shooting steers...I mean elk. I don't have horses or access to horses either. I am sure if you didn't have those available, your "hunting" practices and success would surely change <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. Here are the pictures you requested of a "leisurely" cow hunt <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Flinch
