Dead elk gets revenge.
« on: November 08, 2016, 08:47:31 AM »
Not every idea is a good one.  Had a buddy get impaled through hid butt cheek by a moose antler once.

"Very remote location" accessible by 4 wheeler.

I don't understand the desire to drag out elk whole.  Seems like way more trouble and potential trouble then quartering it.

He was 69. I can understand wanting the ATV to do all of the work.

If he was off a "legal to ride" trail, he may face more trouble.

I remember a hunter from Thermopolis, WY was dragging a 3-point when he fell on it, impaled his femoral artery and bled out.  Sad stuff.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Couple years ago, we were dragging out a 3 OT buck, and I stumble and fell on top of it. Landed on one of the tines right below my eye socket. Damn lucky I was about an inch from my eyeball
