Title: My MH Region 6 elk
Post by: arrowflinger on March 05, 2014, 07:23:54 AM: I got drawn for a Master Hunter Region 6 Elk tag. They finally call and said I could hunt. I went out to the farm for two days and didn't really see any elk. The third day it played out for me. I spotted them in another field and working to the field I could hunt. so I bailed into the woods and set up to wait for them. 30 mins later she was down. Just thought I would share. Sorry I was by myself and this is the only picture I got.

On a side note there is a reason they wanted you to take a cow that was packing. These are in damage areas.

Post by: arrowflinger on March 05, 2014, 09:43:56 AM: I shot the first one into the field. Thanks Tbar, they want a twofer....lol, but there where already at least 6 elk taken in that area including mine. One of those cow was riddled with 22 bullets. Think the locals are doing there own hazing. Heard of a dead calf on one of the fields.

You can use any legal method.

Post by: arrowflinger on March 05, 2014, 08:07:29 PM: It depends on the farm, which method you use. I had a rifle tag for the west side. Name doesn't mean a think.

Post by: pianoman9701 on March 07, 2014, 01:20:39 PM: I had a damage tag last year. They told me I could use any legal method and hunter orange is required. That includes being aware of firearm restrictions were it somewhere that has them.
