Big Game Hunting > Elk Hunting

Found after 2 days, meat worth anything?

Bummer, those ferns can really hide animals. Hate it when deer die in them if the blood trail is bad, you won’t see them until you are stand in on top of them.

Bummer but it does happen, even when you do everything to avoid making a marginal shot. Good news is, it happens less with experiences like this one, you will learn from it and be even better in the future.

NWBREW:
Yeah, two days is too long. That’s too bad.  I killed a bull once right towards the end of shooting light. Dropped down in the twenties during the night. Found the bull first thing in the morning and lost both hind quarters and the neck.

lewy:
Yeah it doesn't take long for an elk to sour. To much mass, bone structure and hide.

Bob33:
Elk have remarkable insulation.
