I cut up an elk roast, browned the meat in olive oil and garlic. Then added it to homemade pasta sauce. Delicious, feeling stuffed right now. Oh, and still waiting for a credit card hit w/ 21 points for antelope and numerous elk applications for the family. Haven't had a elk tag for 8 years. 5guyshunting gave me a couple roasts and I made some green chili and took it up with them on the "GOAT BOYS" adventure. It was awesome. Did get a hit this year so maybe I can pay him back. Thanks 5guys.

O its a cow hunt? I know some guy who used a 22-250 on a cow....he killed it. jgraffaz. You could kill a cow with a 22 if you hit it right. Why take a chance with small caliber rifles . 30/30 have killed many elk and it's a fine choice. Core-loct should work fine. IMO

I have the A Bolt in 300 Win Mag. I love this rifle. I will check around with friends & let you know if I can help.

WOW..just saw the typo i made..was trying to put 135 3/8...oh well

TY..

I too have hunted 21 for 30+ years. I have def. noticed the decline in mule deer. Not so much in WT. I really think the fire that devastated that area had a lot to do with it. Went to my favorite area 2 years ago and it still looks like the moon.

Do you mind if I ask where you were hunting?

Same deer as my avatar. On the wall at home. I think he was a freak. G&F estimated him at 13 years old. WOW

Saw this sign and thought this was hilarious. Thought I would share.

I found this sign....

Do they still have this? I live near there and good fish fry always a plus YES they do. Its as good as always.

I got hit Sat while up predator hunting. Either my step son got a cow tag or I got a unit 10 Bull. Don't care which 1..I get to go either way. WAAAHOOO..Nothing today tho.

My son Shane and Grand daughter Hailey. Her very first fish.

Isn't shooting a gun into water illegal? I have always heard it is. If not illegal definently a dumb thing to do. I know my PaPa or dad would have whipped my arz if I did that. Maybe that would be punishment enough. I may be mistaken.

Don't know if chasing "Goats" around the mountains qualifies, But we did have fun and got a descent workout as well trying some predator calling.

Even the .270 WSM is very easy for a woman to shoot. Mine doesnt kick any more than my regular .270..I think

Saw you had a post from last year at this time and didn't get drawn. This year you did and congrats. Are you in Utah? If so, why are you not hunting Elk there? I have heard that Utah has some great Elk hunting. Don't know what their system of draw is tho.

Great contest Amanda. You are awesome!!! 165 3/8

This is my Dad with me in Cameron, La. his home town. We were getting ready for the annual cattle roundup and branding. I was maybe 4 years old which makes this photo about 54 years old. I miss him more than you know. God bless ya "Pops". You were truly a great man.

I happened to be there on this "Goat Boys" first outing. Had a great time watching these 2 butt heads...then watch them get into EVERYTHING..including the tent, rhino, food, etc... They curl up right by the fire after a tough day of hiking and playing. Great animals and they stay right by your side. Good job Chucky on the goats.

Waiting for draw results..................

My grandaughter and I on her first fishing trip ever. Proud PaPa...

Well,,I said it in an earlier post about this draw. You will have 2 types of attitudes...1) there will be guys and girls dancing in the streets and... 2) there will be guys and girls kicking the dog....in this case it's kicking other hunters or their children. I am an AZ native of 58 years and I have seen the draw system change several times. Waited 23 years for Ant. tag, 12 years for an elk tag and was lucky enough to get one. Was I bitter because I hadn't draw? Yes. Did I say anything about others with less points getting a tag? No... Was I glad others drew tags? Yes... did I go help them? Yes... Was it a good time ? Yes.... Like papa used to say...you pays your money...you takes your chances... It's better to be quiet and thought a fool...then open your mouth and remove all doubt. Didn't get a TAG??? Take a kid fishing...

So anyway......Can someone tell me when we are gonna find out???????? JK, lark, Joke, not serious, a little humor,.....very little
