Role Call: Elk Hunters
You report in and I'll run the tally:
1. Went elk hunting, or
2. Went elk hunting, got a shot opportunity, but no elk or
3. Got an elk (cow or bull, both a trophy in my opine).
I'm betting I can count the elk hunters here on my fingers and toes, but perhaps I'm mistaken....

RE: Role Call: Elk Hunters
Hunted 3 days in south east wyo. blew it thanks too the cross bar safety on my new 45-70, in other words I didn't spend the time needed with the gun before season.
Had another bull at 20yrds in the timber, could see his manlyhood but not his rack.
I saw elk every day so the hunt was still great !

RE: Role Call: Elk Hunters
Except for the two years that I served a mission for my church, I have hunted ELK every year since I turned twelve in 1986, if my math is correct I have hunted elk for 17 seasons including this year. To date I have killed and tagged 11 elk, 10 bulls and 1 cow. Five with a bow, six with a rifle. This year a 5x5 bull. I also agree with ELKampMaster that any elk is a trophy!
I should add that my wife also hunted for ELK this year and missed a 6x6 bull.

RE: Role Call: Elk Hunters
EKM, our crew took 5 bulls and 1 cow this year. We called in 11 bulls in one day and two went into a deep sleep right next to each other. This isn't part of the thread but other than the six elk. We layed down 3 antelope, a moose, 2 bear, a deer and several turkies. I know that we broke the fun barrier because I AM SICK AND TIRED OF CUTTING MEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
