Nice herd man! My parents finally started seeing elk last year after 25 years of living on their property. Having wildlife that close is great!

Title: Re: 418 big bull
Post by: Elkfun12 on August 29, 2019, 05:50:53 PM: I'm just trying to give someone a opportunity at a bull of a lift time. If it happens, they can take whatever pictures that makes there heart happy.

I’d totally hang a meat pole, have a pack in the back ground with tent, campfire, and the treager rolling smoke. :lol4:

Post by: huntnfmly on August 29, 2019, 07:22:59 PM: Seriously who cares if it not taken in the back country sounds like a great opportunity for someone and a great gesture on the part of the OP

Post by: trophyhunt on August 29, 2019, 08:40:27 PM: Very nice of you to make such an offer!
Title: Re: 418 big bull
Post by: carpsniperg2 on August 29, 2019, 10:51:53 PM: Very generous offer thanks you to the op for showing the good side of hunting. Helping fellow hunters which is a big part of why this site is so great. To often its all negative and why cant landowners let us hunt. Prime case of another good person trying to help another.

I can tell you I have so much diversity from hunting from drop camp 10/12 miles in to drive around spot and stock. All the elk I have killed have come out on a pack other then 1 I got to drive to. Its very nice to get a local pasture elk when a person can. Food in my families freezer and meat on the table is worth way more then what someone else thinks to me.

Also part of the reason I have never killed a bull in Washington before, meat before horns on elk for me.
