Thanks, Robert! We've talked about javelina here in the past. Wish I could get elk like I do javelina!

Thanks! Yep, beats hauling quarters out.

Whitetail hunters can't understand how big one of these things is until they see it on the ground.

Hind quarters BIGGER than some of the Pennsylvania doe I shoot each year.

It's a different game . Take the easy ones when you can!

Yeah, I've harvested 4 cows, and I can't even imagine what a bull would be like. Lots of meat.

donw, I can tell you the difference in one simple sentence. A good bit more meat but the cows taste much much much much better! I'd take those 4 cows you have harvested over a bull every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The old man had a favorite saying, "I aint seen a rack even make good soup"

We don't even apply for bull hunts, mainly because we'd rarely get drawn, and we just want to hunt. And I really love elk meat! I always say "you can't eat antlers".
