I spent my entire life living and working in the Elk mountains of Idaho..Shot quite a few just going to or from work.
Jayco
Have I mentioned how fast I am at rolling out of a truck and killing elk, deer or antelope?

Logcutter--I'll get to them, looked thru one stash today and nothing from so far back but I'll do my best to find them for you. Side note, I never said I'd been killing elk for 50 years, I mentioned I was a member of the 50/50 club and that's over 50 years of age and in on and around the taking of over 50 elk. Dober In the mean time I can put up pics of the last couple and you can do the same...ok? From fall of 09 ![[Linked Image]](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u49/Mark_Dobrenski/GetAttachment-6.jpg)

Logcutter, after this post I would just apologize and go away for awhile. Good work scenarshooter, most of us can only dream of getting it done like that. ![[Linked Image]](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp311/patrickgsinclair/scan0006-1.jpg) I tracked this bull all day on a cold and clear November day. It was getting late in the afternoon and I wasn't about to give it up and go to the pickup, so I found a heavily limbed Engleman Spruce tree, put on all the extra clothes I had in my pack and spent the night. I caught up to the bull about 9 AM the next morning. Hunting elk in the mountains without a pack? Seriously? How do you carry your spotting scope? Your tripod? your food and water? Rain gear? Flashlight? After I killed him I took the antlers, cape and both backstraps out. Two trips later, I had the rest of his meat back at home. I also killed a 180" mule deer buck on the way for another load. That buck went out on my back in one load...

For some reason, I'm guessing his best bull was that one he shot when he was 11. Must suck to peak at that age

![[Linked Image]](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u49/Mark_Dobrenski/032.jpg) Young mans first mtn goat (got the tag his first year of applying, not a bad fall for a 12 year old..) He took my .270 for a walk that day instead of my 22/250. One shot @ 287 yds was all she wrote. Last 2 hours of the season last Sunday of Nov/2010 Dober

it is all wasted weight to carry.
Jayco Jayco, you finally get it!! That is our point exactly!! It's about carrying an adequate gun to do the job, not about carrying a heavier gun than you need to just to prove something to somebody else, or to try to prove that you are more in shape than somebody who carries a lighter gun.
Exquisitely turdlike in all of his many manifestations!!
Resist much - obey little. Hayduke lives!
