Elk hunting is something I've looked forward to ever since I decided to take the hobby back up. I'm really hoping to do it sometime soon.

Im an elk hunter. The guys from my family have made back country trips on horses every year for the last 15 years. Its getting hard on my Paw Paw though so i dont know how much more we will get to do it. We go 22 miles from the trail head. Pack in all our tents, gear, food, everything we need for a week or so. Last time i went was November '08 and we stayed 9 days. I was the only one in camp to kill an elk which was a 15-18 year old cow. I saw at least 150 head of elk every day but they were always on the other side of the river where hunting was not allowed since it was a game perserve. Ive killed 7 or 8 elk i think since ive started hunting at the age of 12 and im 22 now.

Been hunting them since 1985 and have hunted them in MT, CO, NM and AZ where I currently live. I have never taken a bull but have been blessed with 4 cows...the saga continues. I have taken elk with my bow, rifle and muzzleloader.

I chase em. Not sure I hunt em yet but I went to Colorado with a bow in 06,07,08 missed last year but I will be back this year with a muzzle loader tag for Elk and Mule Deer if I draw. If not I will be there with my bow. Elk pretty much control my life, I do little else so I can save enough to go to Colorado each fall. Almost everyday I am on the internet reading about Elk or Elk hunting. Hopefully next year I have enough saved for a once in a life time [for me] fully guided pack in combo Elk/Whitetail hunt in NW Montana.

Hi! My name it Mitch and I'm an elkaholic!

Are any of you elk hunters wolf killers-haters?
I wish I was a killer, but for right now I am just a hater.:hit::rant::bash: |
I responded to your other thread but I think I speak for just about everyone when I say we are certainly not wolf fans. Many on these boards, without naming names, preach the SSS method. Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up.
