2024 Big Game!

[brutal]

got lucky and found a bull on the 4th eve. of 2nd rifle. He died in about the worst spot and position possible. Thankfully I had a friend tagging along and with his help we were able to get him untangled from the dead logs in a position to field dress. Without my friend along, I don't know what I would've done. Head/antlers were bent back and tangled in the log in front of him and his legs were under the log to my left.
Thankful for the elk hunting weather that finally rolled in. Action was really slow until the cold and snow rolled in. Hardly any other shots from other hunters in the area either.

Good job TR!

Harder than those deer that were licking your fire ring last weekend!

You'll have to start packing a come along in the kit if you keep doing that.
