Duckster,
That’s a fine looking elk

I got one last fall in Utah. Made a summer scouting trip, went about a week before archery season opened and looked some more and hunted about a week. Went home for a break then back again. Called this guy into 20 yards on 9/11 and made a great shot on him, he only went 15 yards after being hit. Freezers full. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/254290.jpg)

You are even shorter and uglier than I originally remember. Are you Amish offspring, by chance? Don’t forget those child support payments. That wooly hellhound depends on it to support her new Beau!

Thank goodness you found some flat-lander private land! Took this one a week ago during Montana's mid-December "shoulder season," where you can use a general tag on antlerless elk on private land: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/medium/242114.jpg) Thought it was an average-sized cow, but turned out to be the biggest I've taken, though not quite as big as the "trophy cow" my wife Eileen got a few years ago. The weather turned out to be perfect for aging the meat in our garage, in the 20s at night and low 40s during the day, and we started butchering today. Very tender and good flavor--much better tasting than the "trophy" antlers from past hunts hanging on the walls of the garage!

Took this goofy bull on the second to the last day. Very difficult hunting season. I have never worked harder and covered more ground to see so few elk. The winter of 2022 was extremely hard on the So. Idaho elk and deer herd. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/LSNTfi0.jpg)

The winter of 2022 was extremely hard on the So. Idaho elk and deer herd. Seen several oddball bulls in the northeast corner of NV, they seem to move out of ID for the winter. 2023 was the worst hunting there in the last 10 yrs.

Uh oh.......it appears I may be in trouble. The roundheads and blockheads are combining forces. Sorry, not going to tell you how, or where to go about getting elk killed.

Yikes!!!!...Greenhorn actually turns your crank? You like the mass on that thing? That is a nice sweater, Greenhorn. Gotta admit. Size small? I mean, you could drive those little cars at the Shriners parade! Popping wheelies and going round and round. I'd clap! Buzz could too........if we got him on the GoLo program. Those front wheels don't go up easy. Lil' guys make good bulls look like world records. Such an outstanding bull - the mass on that thing! A heavy old bull is what turns my crank...

Brad.......I could really care less whether you are cutting one off, or sewing one on.
I just don't want to pay for it.
