In the early 70's we got 8 guys in an Opal cadet.

There were 3 quartered bulls, 5 hunters and all the gear in that van when we pulled out of there. Good times!

One needs to put his 4-wheeler in first. That pretty well consumes a short box. Then start stacking the elk. We did that many times with a 4 wheeler or snowmobile... Sweet Chevy's Shrapnel.Like that old brown one.Looks like a 76? Why the switch to Dodge?

Good job A lot of good eating in 2013 The new World Record for # of elk loaded whole in the bed of a pickup in Wyoming without the aid of any other device and all the elk are whole and it is a Ford pickup and it has a flat bed and it is a 4 door and a 6.0 L diesel and the owner has the initials JB. Well you get the picture, we got three whole elk in the back of my truck and I thought it was kind of cool. Frank dropped the first at 520yds and then I got one at 600yds and then Scott played cleanup at 854yds. Fun day.

Pretty good John...a lot of good eating in that truck load. Bet it raised a few eyebrows if you drove through town that way.

Sweet Chevy's Shrapnel.Like that old brown one.Looks like a 76? Why the switch to Dodge? I was talking everything but buying trucks to the Dodge dealer in Livingston the fall of 2008 after the whole economy tanked. I had a 2005 GMC at the time, a 3/4 ton V-8. They told me that now was the best time ever to buy a truck and told me to take the 2008 Bighorn Edition, crew cab, Cummins for a test drive. The sticker on it was $45,000.00. I drove it and told them it was still too much money at a discounted price of $33,000.00. After some bartering and throwing out some unrealistic numbers, they sold it to me for $29,000.00 I couldn't pass up a diesel pickup for $29,000.00, so I am now driving that same Dodge and it books for almost as much now as I paid for it over 4 years ago...

Congratulations john!!!! It may not be a world record but it beats my record of two in the back of a 72 Jeep Pickup. Both big fat cows, one taken in the center of the county road and the other taken on the far side of a 40 acre field. Backed right up to both of them and had hung up and skinned in my dads shop by 10am. Very near Elgin Oregon. When I can't remember. The winch makes it almost easy. !!!!

We killed a couple cows once, and crammed them in the back of an old Toyota Land Cruiser. The hill we had to climb out was so steep the front end started hopping off the ground. We ended up with both strapped across the hood for weight. Had pix somewhere, but that was 37 years ago.

Meat cleans up. Warm spoiled meat never gets better. I take my elk apart ASAP. They fit into four backpacks.

Same old forum bull. I have nothing to prove to any of you.
I hunt for me. Not you guys. You all want to sit around jerking each other off with pictures. Good for you. Dead animals is nothing new to look at. I have found that pictures show the difference between people that shoot game and those that shoot their mouth off...

Aren't there both mule deer and whitetail together there? Oregon's got a few whitetail and seems I saw a muley doe running with whitetail fawns in the fields going up the grade out of Elgin. Is that possible?
