Title: Idaho 7x7
Post by: king on November 02, 2011, 12:41:52 PM: Second year in a row, me and my hunting partner (we're both college students) head up for the last week of season. Worked all summer cutting out trails, breaking in some green horses, and finding out where the bulls are at. This guy stepped out at 70 yards and the .300 Weatherby piled him up in his tracks. Easy pack out and a great hunt!

Nice job! I like seeing people in the woods with their horses!

If I never saw another elk the rest of my life I'd still go live with my horses for a week every fall in the mtns, amazing how much they learn and respect you after spending days in a row with them.

Is there a reason you leave the lower legs and hooves on the quarters?

Post by: king on November 03, 2011, 09:11:58 AM: John: Not really, it's just easier to leave them on and throw up on a horse. Buglebuster: This is the highlight of the trip, the downfall was seeing wolf tracks down every game trail on a fresh snow. We've moved the past 3 years trying to stay ahead of them but there isn't much of Idaho that isn't completely loaded with wolves. In a week of hunting, this is the only elk we saw and really the only fresh sign.

Horses a ton of work but so worth it. Our horses were the real stars studs of our trip. Hauled a couple bulls out and got us places we would have been able to get time over the two weeks. Congrats on that bull he is bruiser.
