uh oh! Gutpile finally gets an elk!!
« on: November 02, 2013, 11:48:28 AM »
I hate pictureless threads but that's life, I'll update later. I hunted my ars off down in the blues and didn't see squat this year. Only a total of 4 animals two were massive bulls. We Got fogged in, froze, and poured on. I stayed one extra day and at 4:30 I tipped over a Spiker with the ole 7 mag. I bought it this yearfor elk and so far this season I've killed a bear, and antelope, a deer, and an elk. I loaded up 168 grn LR accubonds specifically with elk in mind. Anyhow I check one last clearcut and there grazes a cow and a spike. I needed to check to see if there were any branches so stalked in closer. I got to 350 and was pretty sure but I was scared to down an illegal bull so got closer. I got to 225 and was 100% sure but still scared. Oh crap!!! The cow busted me so I let rip. Perfect shot, broke the right leg and later found that the bulled deflated both lungs. It was standing stunned so I hit it again. This time a little higher and down her went. I quick gutted and skinned him and removed his head. I got out of the canyon well after dark and my partners about crapped when I walked up to the fire with a spikes head in one hand and a bottle of wild turkey in the other. Next morning it took two of us two trips and 4 hours to recover him. This is a hunt I wont soon forget. Ill get pics up asap but there aren't any real good ones of the bull. I just didn't have time as I was alone and losing light fast

This is the only pic I have on my phone I can download right now. Ill get a couple more later

"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

Not bad for a Gaseous horribulous stinkusis with a cat :chuckle:  First I have heard tagging an elk with the new LR.  Sounds like that gun and those bullets are the lucky combination - A clean sweep is pretty damn NICE!.  You might need to auction off dibbs to borrow it from your hunting partners. :dunno:

Congratulations!!
