Nice job! I've taken cow elk out on sleds with snow before, best way to move an elk by foot!

Great Job.
I used a 7mm I purchased at 17 thinking of elk when I bought it to take my first bull at 43. Haven’t missed an elk hunt since in 17 years. Talk about an addiction we leave next week & I can’t wait hard to sleep or think about work.

Great job!! I am 48 and have also dreamed of elk hunting one day. You have given me motivation for sure. Great write-up!
