Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 2018 Wilson Unit - Roosevelt Elk Hunt

Wow gentlemen that looks like a top shelf experience right there congratulations on a fantastic bull in awe inspiring country with pretty ok company !

Thanks a lot for sharing the pics are beautiful!

Thanks for the photos and write-up. Looks like some rugged country.

Indeed it is...It’s the main reason some who’ve spent their entire life hunting these mountains practice and practice some more to be very proficient at making a solid hit off a pack, prone, with sticks, and bipods on our game animals. Many times you just can’t get closer to them without being busted or the landscape prevents closing the distance...With that said; if I can get closer, I do. I certainly don’t back up to make a hero shot. 😎

Very nice! Congratulations!

Really appreciate you taking the time to take and post the pictures along with the write up!

Good friends, beautiful country, a great hunt......doesn't get much better than that. Congrats to you all.

That is some great photography, really enjoyed it. Congrats to you and the Amigos.

We used to do the December cow hunt in the Wilson unit when I archery hunted. Actually we called it the penalty hunt for the country shown in these pictures. In all the years I hunted that unit I never saw a day like the one you guys had. I know it has been an exceptionally dry November but that weather is still crazy! Both my boys killed their first elk there on a youth hunt and I took one cow and helped pack out half a dozen more. Your legs and lungs get a real workout in that unit.

Whoop!!!

Nice Bull, Kingston!

Awesome, congrats Kingston. Glad to see the report, and images. The Wilson and Trask units are some of my favorite parts of the state. And for those that don't know, that's not an easy hunt given the hunting pressure from Portland, relatively short season, and terrain. Great job, Kingston, Beaver, and F3.

Great story, and congratulations.

This may be the most accurate picture I’ve ever seen of Roosevelt country.

That bull has a huge body. Good deal. Thanks for the post and great pics.

I love the pictures especially the one with Saddle Mountain in the background. It’s my backyard but seen through others pictures it’s a reminder of how beautiful it really is here. Taken for granted most the time because it’s what we’re used to. You done good Kingston. Lots of guys that live here only kill one or two in their lives.

Thank god im not most guys.
I look at saddle mountain from the other side was nice to look north at her for a change.

My family is very fortunate too. My wife and I have been married for 12 years and we’ve never bought beef at the store with the exception of a nice steak here and there.

I hear ya I smile ever time my wife tells someone that “she knows if I’m not tagged out first two days I’m not taking it seriously lol.

Wife just sent me this. Think it’s funny but I’m twisted.

Looks like you were surrounded by beautiful country and good company. Thanks for taking the time to post your story and pictures. Congrats on your bull.

Just seeing this. Great stuff Kingston! Congrats and thanks for sharing. Freaky weather!
