You might be an elk hunter, if…..
« on: March 29, 2022, 08:08:58 PM »
Sung to the tune of Jeff Foxworthy’s “you might be a redneck, if”, only this thread is about those often enormous but sometimes subtle indicators that indicate that you may in fact, be an elk hunter.  I’ll get this rolling. 

You might be an elk hunter if you stop in your tracks when a screen door squeaking sounds like a cow mew.

Easy to answer.  Driving down I-90 from Snoqualmie yesterday afternoon, nearly broke my neck on four cows grazing in the brush along the side of the freeway.  Then, less than two minutes later, nearly broke my neck again on four more cows.

You might be an elk hunter if you instantly recognized they were all cows.

If you purposely, with gusto, at all costs…. avoid having any other significant dates, besides season start/end dates occur between September 1st thru November 30th, you’re probably an elk hunter.

When you have a drawer full of calls, bugles and gadgets to attract elk. But still use the first one's you purchased.

Hi my name is Andy. Me and my family are elk hunting aholics. Our poor kids had no choice but to be elk hunters. We calm our elk hunting behaviors by savoring the taste of the elk as we plan our next elk hunting adventure.  :tup:

You might be an elk hunter if...

 
Your ring tone for your Daughter is a calf

Your ring tone for your Son is a raghorn bugle

Your ring tone for your Dad is an old raspy bull bugle


Your ring tone for your wife is a cow in estrus whine...



and you know instantly who's calling  :chuckle:


what's fun is the knowing look you get from other elk hunters when your wife calls  :chuckle:   :chuckle:   :chuckle:

If you typed this after reading the posts in the thread going to the freezer and grabbing 2 packs of ground, 1 pack of cubed, and the last pack of backstrap and planning the menu for the rest of the week.

When wife tells you to stop now because it’s out of season, after you continue to bugle in the house after the rut.
