I grew up deer hunting. Used to love it until I went on my first elk hunt at 17 and I' ve been hooked on elk ever since. The taste of elk meat is unbeatable and so is the experience. I still go on the deer hunt almost every year but I don' t take it near as serious and I have a higher success rate with elk than deer. Last year I shot a deer and gave it to my hunting partner, I never did fill my tag.
