elk down!

[ribka]

So we mange to wresltle her under the deadfall and continue down the mountain and meet up with Gasman. He helps a lot and we get it down to the jeep.

I bring it home and get her hung and skinned . The next day butchering and wrapping. My wife, who was a city girl her entire life, now loves to help process game and fish. Her city  friends think that she is a crazy redneck now

Elk tenderloin Good eats! Try and find that in Whole Foods

[ribka]

During processing Bandit called and brought his family and helped package and make burger. Thanks Bandit.

Maybe someday you can be a might hunter like me

I like doing an autopsy when processing game to learn how to make most efefective and humane shots.  I see that  my arrow went through a rib, lungs, through another rib and into the far shoulder. Can't beat a quality two blade broadhead. Don't think an expandable head would have held up  

blades recovered from far rib and broadhead in far shoulder

Looking forward to next year's season

When you are as big as an elk (like me) they move easlie through teh snow, especially on a down hill

I had a longer hike back to the jeep then they did dragging it down 

It was worth it. Had some for dinner to night
