My First Elk! :)
« on: October 27, 2009, 09:28:06 PM »
I drew a special tag in sequim this year for a management hunt. Got called on Saturday night at about 8pm, got asked to be in sequim at 6 am. Left the house at 3am, got in sequim and began the hunt once it got light out! All the elk came into the corn feild i was in, but they were real spooky and trying to find a way past me to leave (if they left the feild i wouldn't be able to hunt cause they would be in a no hunting area). All the big 6x6 bulls were in the middle of the herd and i couldn't get a shot off at any of them. Then here comes this spike, he tried to pick a fight with one of the big bulls and he got ran out of the herd. I had an opportunity to bring some meat home and get my first elk, and i took it. There were 28 bulls in the herd so at first it was a little disappointing to just get a spike, however, Roosevelt spikes are illegal here unless you get one of those special tags like i did so that's pretty tight!
Look at the bases on this thing! HUGE! Ima do a European mount and put it in my room!  :IBCOOL: Anyways, enjoy!
Oh, by the way, i shot it at like 90 yards, dropped it. Broke both shoulders and went through both lungs. Then he tried to get back up (well kinda haha) and I nailed him in the head.  :chuckle:
