Well, we put the 2nd annual Wyoming Vet hunt to bed a few days ago. Round trip, we drove about 4400 miles and used about 600 gallons of diesel fuel. My brother rode with me from NY to Wyoming and the rest of the crew came from Cheyenne, Washington State and Colorado. Had a great camp as well. Upgraded the tent to a new Montana Canvas 16x20 and really enjoyed the heavier canvas heat holding abilities, but honestly the weather was really good this year being in the 20's in the morning and 60's in the mid day. We replaced one tire on the way into Wyoming. And one coming out.. My old Detachment One buddy came up and met us in camp when it was just about set up. To be honest, I think that is a officer move. I kind of suspect he was sitting around the corner with glass watching as the camp was squared away and stuff was unpacked, then swooped in for dinner, but as a former flat black employee of the USMC I am kinda used to that kinda treatment :LOL: Anyhow, we got busy hunting We were on elk everyday we were out there, but kept ending up seeing them around 800-1100 yards out with no good way to close the distance before it got dark. We had a few stalks where the elk out moved us and we ended up where they were. Such as life on the mountain. It was good hunting. There are elk in that danged picture, and some good bulls but not enough daylight to make the move to get within rifle range. Around day 4 we got into a small band and made some moves to close the distance but we were stuck around 600'ish. The old Colonel is a good shooter, but had only taken his new 300 out to 400, so I passed him the 7 Mashburn Super with the appropriate dope and he commenced to making the elk packable. So we skinned, trimmed and made the elk a bit more packable and got them ready for the trip back to camp.

Anyhow, we got the elk back down to camp and the following day we took one elk to the processor and made another trip up the mountain to bring the rest of the elk down. Once we had our area cleaned up and squared away, the good Colonel had to take off for another trip for work, so my brother and I started hunting some new areas we have not gotten into. We had a full camp at that point with the Old Goat and Joel hammering as well. Anyhow, as luck would have it, Jake and I got into a small herd at around 10K foot that day, but couldn't get much closer than about 800 yards and they didn't come back out with enough time to make a move to them. So, we decided to hunt our way off the mountain and go cook some dinner for the other fellas... That's sort of a lie, I was hungry, I knew there were pork chops in the cooler and I wanted to eat... So we moved off the mountain, We got to about 1 mile from the truck had one more opening to look over until we broke over and headed to the truck at the trail head.. Well, as soon as I looked up I saw white, knowing full well it was a bull.. Mind you, we have been packing elk like we eat oats and folks put saddles on our back for fun the last few days. I asked Jake, since he was 50% of the pack train if we should take him. He nodded and said, it's 490 yards, you better get him. Well I laid out the pack, twisted to the appropriate dope took some breaths.. Upon firing, he went into a heap. I was thinking the whole time about a pork chop and maybe some vegetables, but a guy can dream right? If you look between the two trees in the distance you can see the elk. So we made movement over and began the process of taking care of the bull for the pack frames. The chief skinner took a little rest. He has turned out to be an amazing elk hunter and an amazing hand at taking care of elk. Couldn't even imagine having a better elk hunting partner. It's been 5 years since he first came elk hunting and he acts like he has been doing it for as long as me now. Anyhow, I have some more pictures to add later on once everyone gets home and sends their stuff. I wanna thank the Combat Warriors Inc (Wyoming Chapter) for assisting with the tag transfer. Joel for acquiring the tags to donate was HUGE for us and a huge thank you to Wyoming for allowing veterans so much opportunity to hunt. Can't say it enough how much of a wonderful program they have for us vets. Lastly thank you to the Old Goat aka Bill aka Elkmen1 on here for being such an awesome mentor to me. I can't even put into words how much he has taught me over the years and made me a decent elk hunter. I'll have you know as soon as Bill got to camp, he was complaining about being nearly a century old. All I heard was Snoopy talk, and said, you wanna go pack elk, to which he was all about. So we broke him in with a gentle 600 ft elevation hike in about a 1/2 mile to go recover a piece of elk. He is still a hill destroying machine at his 78 years young age! I am sure I forgetting something but I will fill it in as I remember. Sorry for all the words, but it was one of the great years to be in the backcountry with a camp filled with vets who can lie just like we did when we were young guys

Looks like a good time was had, how in the world can u burn 600 gal of diesel?? I drove from NW/Pa to Idaho and back in Sept, towing a 26' enclosed trailer loaded w three freezers, a side by side and stuff for 23 days of hunting. Used 185 gal going and 197 coming, and maybe 50 gal while in Idaho.

Used 185 gal going and 197 coming, and maybe 50 gal while in Idaho. Ha, I went back and pulled the numbers, it was 490.664 which doesn't include the fill up upon returning home of 38.898 so I apologize, I overshot it some. I think I was figuring that number out when we were on our last leg home. Were in Eastern NY, so we add about 400 miles each way onto your start spot, so that is a couple extra tanks. I'd be scared to figure the fuel mileage for the trip, but I'd say 9MPG would be staying pretty positive.. We got about 1.5-2MPG's better on the way home than heading out there. We have about the same amount of stuff as you, so I imagine our weight is similar, SxS, Coolers, tent, poles, chow, propane, etc.

I take 3 spares now when we go. Sounds like it was a great trip.

Congrats and thank you for your service.
Looks like it was SC Wyoming, maybe near Laramie? Would love to have bought you all a beer in the Library if it was.
That lower leg can be removed with a pocket knife at the joint and you retain the tendon for hanging the quarter. The leg will twist off if cut in the right spot. Hope they enjoy the elk meat.

Looks like everyone had a great time! My son and I are hunting this Saturday evening with Freedom Hunters and a semi-local coon hunting club. They should be a bit easier to pack out than elk. 🇺🇲

Awesome deal! Luv’n it……I sure miss the elk hunting in Wyoming. I may be a touch bit envious as Idaho elk are making a fool of me (again)😀. Quick Q. Is there a reason you’re sawing that leg off instead of cutting it at that joint above the Achilles’ tendon? Doesn’t matter….just curious as I have stopped carrying a saw.

I guess I don't know. I used to saw the antlers off of the bulls so that's probably why. Now, that we have gone to just quick skinning the head I could ditch the saw as well. Good point. Guess it's just habit since my elk pack never really gets unpacked other than when I wash it, then I put everything back into it and put it on the shelf. Well, maybe you can try getting over on these Wyoming elk this next season, I hear they aren't near as bright as the Idaho elk

I will get back to WY at some point but I like this spot in Idaho because it is 70 miles from Mom’s place and my horses. That, and I get dirt cheap tags. Today is the last day here though…I jumped something 20 minutes ago that sounded like an elk but I never saw it. I am on a ridge now with lots of sign, watching an opening. It’s my last chance….

Check out Hunts for Heroes, combat vets inc, Wyoming chapter, etc. there’s a list of available tags on WFG page. Looks like everyone had a great time congrats! I wish I was a veteran I sprained my ankle in basic training and got chaptered Hey buddy, they have special tags for you fellas who sprained your ankles in boot camp

Wyoming allows hunters to donate any of their licenses to wounded vets or disabled persons. That way they get a licenses they do not have to pay for. Hunting with Heroes also does hunts for vets. We fortunately have several organizations that help wounded vets hunt in Wyoming.

Great pictures an write up. As others have said it's easy to remove the lower leg (front and rear) with just a knife. It is funny both guys think it's a rear quarter your sawing on. Ted, Double check which end you're shooting at on those Idaho elk. The end with Achilles' tendons is the no shoot zone. OP is sawing on the shoot zone end. Awesome deal! Luv’n it……I sure miss the elk hunting in Wyoming. I may be a touch bit envious as Idaho elk are making a fool of me (again)😀. Quick Q. Is there a reason you’re sawing that leg off instead of cutting it at that joint above the Achilles’ tendon? Doesn’t matter….just curious as I have stopped carrying a saw.

How’d I miss this thread and awesome hunt?
Great job, Scotty! You and the crew have elk hunting figured out - well, maybe not the ‘Big Cheese Officer’ for showing up late for the work party. Grins.
You handing off your Mashburn for him to tip his cow over, was a solid. That dang rifle is a meat maker!

Thanks Beav. It was a great elk year for us. The Mashburn has to work hard to keep up with you PRC shooters. It doesn’t dare let me down
