Let’s see your first elk

Steeleywhopper's post with his gramps is one of the greatest pics I've ever seen posted.  I wish I could have just had one day hunting with either of my granddads.

I’m with you brother.  Nobody carried a camera in my generation for many moons. When we started, it was the old plastic disposables. At some point, the disposable cams I had collecting  dust in a junk drawer got trashed. Here’s one that survived the junk drawer, circa 1987ish?  Not my first, but one of the earliest pics I have.

I was just explaining to my son how my elk pics were taken with a film camera, and developed pictures were scanned into the computer. He had a puzzled look on his face...LOL!

14 years old. this cow almost ran into me luckily for me she was only 10-15’ away so the jerk on the trigger didn’t matter to much. Good ole disposable camera

First elk
Early 90s
Archery @ camp 9
Everybody went home to save some leave time mid week and then come back after Labor Day
I stayed shot a spike packed him all out alone no truck
Just the motor home and my bicycle
No meat split needed on that one 🤪

My first elk was 2005.  I wish I knew then how quickly we would lose opportunity in this state.  A lot has changed in 20 years.

Wish I had a pic of my first. I'm sure some of the older guys remember the early muzzy season up elk heights area? I remember it being like an Aug 15th type thing? Anyways,  I was 12, and it was hot as hell.  It was me, my older brother Aaron, and my dad. We were hiking down the hill within eye sight of the truck. Here come a group of elk down the opposite canyon wall. About that time here comes a truck bouncing down the road. The elk paused, watched the truck drive by and then here they come! Across the road, up the hill, and single filed right passed us at 60 yards. With a my eyes closed and a good solid trigger jerk I magically drilled the spike. Thank god it was close to the truck as we sawed that spike into quarters 🤦‍♂️.

Isn't it funny how just a few years ago you learned to saw your elk in quarters, now I don't even carry a saw and most take elk apart with only a blade. Or debone.

Back in the day we didn't take a lot of pictures, my first elk was on Bethel Ridge in 1970 when I was 10 years old. We have killed a lot of elk in that area over the years, with not a lot of pictures of them. My brother and I have something like 39 bulls between us over that 50 year span and a handful of cows.

This is my first elk! Got her in 2019 with my muzzleloader! After 8 years of elk hunting!

Nice work hilltop


If insurance picked that up, it’s way cheaper than a guided hunt
