Default im back from elk hunting

well I had a blast we seen elk every day some days we seen over 300

wednesday we were in elk 100 yards of the road but they turned out to be all bulls
just my luck all we had were cow tags

so we went on glassing the mountains and found a very large herd 100+ and then another 150+ but they were to far away for today

thursday we ran into a small herd on the way back into the larger herd so we watched them bed and planned a stalk we were within 100 yards when i almost stepped on some mule deer that ruined the whole set up lol
there was animals runnin everywhere it would have been great to catch on camera

friday we left at first light and were walking up the old road when we spotted a herd of elk feeding out of the trees about 300 yards away
we stalked up to within 75 yards when we were finally busted (no cover)

well we picked a cow and a calf that were pretty close and the rest is history
but the freezer is full

i put 2 shots into the cow 1 into the lungs 1 into the shoulder
my brother put 1 into the lungs and 1 into the neck of the calf
both animals were laying within 5 feet of each other



sorry for the poor quality pictures i didnt think of takeing any till i was writing this post
