Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Winching out Elk setup...

You seem to think I can't.
Are you sure you want to double down on that?

Simply ask. If you have a bug in your azz it’s your azz.

Let’s see them bulls. This is about killing elk and getting steak to the plate.
Hit the androgell and post some pics.

So you change your tune ... A LOT.
What happened to all of your insults of my reading skills, my physical ability, Colorado bulls, and so on?

Read again or perhaps get someone to read it to you.
I offered absolutely no opinion of any technique.
In fact, my comment was not even a response to anything you posted. My point is that removing a bull with an enormous support system of people, machines, and on flat terrain is not exactly 'awesome'.

This is an ATV haul.




If the fella doing this carry slips he goes to the bottom.

I don’t need to qualify anything for someone like you. Could you tell us all one more time, what is the title of this thread?

this works if the snow is hard.

I already told you. Get someone to read it to you.

You do the shooting or just the mule? 😎

What pack frame are you running in those big Colorado bull adventures? Are the packs short to the horses or long packs out? Also we’re all those going to the taxidermy shop? The hide looks heavy! 😉 keep the pics coming.

I wish it was a frame pack. Frameless Lowe.
Couple are shoulder mounts and a couple Euro.
Hide and bone are way heavy, but better not to remove meat from the bone too soon, and sometimes time matters more than weight.
I would absolutely like your setup if extracting from above. Very few of ours are killed below a road.

I would love me some flat, but I haven’t seen any yet. A bud’s rifle is flat shooting though. 😉😎

Without a doubt, you are the most ignorant dumba$$ to ever turn on a computer....come kill that bull on the coast and see how well your rigging works. Thanks for the laugh!!!!!

You really got me there, but at least I can turn on the computer...

couple more, but I am running low on good haul out pics.

not elk but a long way up a mountain

Who cares about all the packing out pictures.

What is the wheel gun?

Nothing very cool sorry to say.
Shot the bull late and got it field dressed in the dark but there were no trees tall enough so the quarters hung about a foot off the ground.
I knew there were bears about.
Next morning a bear had claimed the bull and covered the gut pile with leaves. My blue heelers were going crazy and they made it clear to us that the bear was only about 75 yards off in another stand of timber.
I was young and poor and an S&W .22 was all I had at the time. I'd have brought my rifle if I had known it was going to get as sporting as that.

Shrapnel “wins”. Nobody can hold a candle to him bragging about being able to unwrap a piece of bubblegum.

Bum deal on the lost meat. The wheel gun in the worn leather adds a lot to the picture. Good thing the bear didn't come greet you.

Hard choice...which has more ft/lbs energy, the 40g lead bullet or just throwing the whole gun at him. Your hands would not have been rock steady, and getting 40g of lead through the eye socket on a charging bear would not be fun. LOL
