My First Elk!
« on: September 24, 2010, 12:35:29 AM »
My first elk, nothing to brag about but he is mine and I will forever remember that day.

I got drawn for the quality elk hunt in the 340 342 gmu's manashtash and umptanum units. Ive been researching and scouting for a while. Ive been in contact with Buckblaster who had this tag last year, and coachCW. A big thanks to the both of them, couldn't have done it with out their help. So Tuesday the 21st i woke up hiked out to my spot. and after watching him cross through a field i finally took him at 200 yards. i knocked him down very clean kill. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

I got lucky on the pack out got alot of help from some friends and a gentleman i met that day. Alot of big thanks to BuckBlaster and CoachCW along with all of the guys in his camp a very good group of men that anyone would be lucky to meet out in the woods. I couldn't have done it with out those two guys advice and help. My dad for going out with me and my grandfather for watching over me,  A big thanks to the HuntWA community a true well of knowledge that i will forever be grateful too and respect.

Thank you all

Now the important stuff. photos!

Good job... :cue:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
