Would you shoot him?
« on: July 27, 2012, 07:32:11 PM »
Just retrieved my cameras today. I had about six hundred pictures in two weeks, they were all elk. Lots of cows and calves as well as a nice 6x6 bull that I wouldn't mind notching my tag on come September.

What tag you got? He is a fatty!! I'd guess he'd go 285ish or so, but as big bodied as he looks that could be thrown off a little. I'd take him unless I had a primo tag.

I'd only shoot him on days that end with 'y'.

I have the goose prairie tag. A couple more pictures of him.

Dead meat.  That elk owes me money and I need to make an example of him.

goose prairie tag?  depending on the weapon and how hard you want to hunt, I may hold off on him for now... but that all depends on the type of hunting you will be doing.

regardless, he's a nice bull

Yes, I'd shoot him any legal way possible.
