Serious elk hunting about 10 years, Killled 7 elk

Been Elk hunting for 20 Plus years, Didn't figure them out for quite sometime...
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

3 elk camps scattered over the course of the past 10 years.  Have yet to kill 1.  If it wasn't spike only in the Blues though I'd have 2 6x6's under my belt (wouldn't we all  :chuckle:)

I plan on kicking the elk hunting up a notch though now.  Not sure why I never got into it before like I did deer hunting, but I sure want to now and plan on doing just that.

15 years, 5 elk, 2 muzzle loading, 3 archery, 4 cows, 1 spike
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
