Elk Hunting 2014

[Rucker61]

Stayed in our tents most of the day Sunday. 6 straight hours of sleet.

You have a wood stove for the tent? Sounds miserable.

No, but I do have a Summit Series North Face tent. No problems. Stayed warm and dry.

Its hard to see, shes in the reticle on the right. Shot her at 481 yards Sunday morning. Looked for 1 1/2 days and never found her. My first one. My boss seems to think it was either to small of a caliber (6.5) or the 140 Beger. He has tested Begers and apparently has had bad results. Anyway, worst weekend ever.

Aaaargh. You're going to make me get into a caliber tard argument. 140 grain anything almost 500 yards later... I know I'm going to stir up all the fellers what thinks a feller can use a .243 on African plains game, but while 6 and 6.5 make some fantastic long range target cartridges, they make horrible hunting cartridges on things bigger than deer. BC ain't everything. Bring enough gun. Is Hoser around? Can you change my title to Fuddcicle?

Sorry to go down this road, glad you at least got to see something... wish it would have been a clean kill.

Thats sig worthy right there..

Spend a lot of time thinking on your new favorite crapper? We need to have lunch soon.

dang, sorry to hear you lost her. that is never fun to deal with.

My buddy just got back, I think 7-8 of them had tags for first rifle, came back empty handed. 1 guy took a couple shots and missed at a bull. but they saw almost nothing.

[Irving]

I can think of a lot worse weekends than that Zach.

[Zach O]

Me to ZS. Saw them every day I was out. I was alone with only 2 1/2 days, so the ones farther out, I ruled out. For me to quarter it and get it to the truck would have killed me. The one I shot was 1/4 mile from the truck.

[Zombie Steve]

Ah, yes... we came across this one morning hunting the river for bear.



I guess they do shit in the woods... in style.

Thursdays or Fridays would be best for me if you want to grab lunch. Give me a shout.
