great job guys! AH64guy, is the sprig of green in your bulls mouth the "last meal" like some of the european hunters do it?

Really a lot of great looking elk here. My cow was taken on the first day in Wyoming, and my spike was on the first day of the Oregon 2nd season. A pretty good season all in all.

great job guys! AH64guy, is the sprig of green in your bulls mouth the "last meal" like some of the european hunters do it? Yes, and very good catch. I was able to get trained/lisensed as a hunter in Germany when I was stationed there, still do some of the customs I learned. Weidmannsheil!

I didn't, but it was the first time i've ever taken a camera. I blame forums for that.
I think it was bad luck.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

Popped a cow on a controlled hunt in Idaho. Getting the meat out was the easy part thanks to my 'assistants'. Getting to it was the hard part. She wasn't on the flat.

Seasons for elk are starting to wind down, with archery, muzzleloader, first thru third seasons in the books here in Colorado. Still some later stuff, RFW, E. Colorado, etc. to go, but by and large, most of the elk hunting is done for the year. Assume the same for other states, as well.
So- who all here on the 'Fire was lucky enough to score, and in what state? I'll start by including myself, just finished off the last of the Thanksgiving elk roast at lunch today! Northern Wyoming

I plowed a cow with my 375h&h at about 30 paces. The 270tsx did a fine job on the trip through.....course bubble gum would work that close.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

No pics but a nice 5X6 on the second day of Colorado's First Rifle season at about 12,000' near the Continental Divide.
