[dhfk214]

It would be great to see who all tagged their first elk this year!
Cow - Calf - Spike - Bull
It don’t matter!

Little brothers first hunt at 12 years old. Fired a shot from 160 yards out and nailed him, perfect shot with a 6.5 creedmoor. Opening morning harvest. Glad I could get him out and harvest a bull for his first kill. Afterwards, it was about 26 degrees out and I asked are you that cold because he was shaking so much and he says "No I'm just excited!" Made my day!!

Dozens under my belt but this is this years with 2 elk tags to go 4th season

I grew up back east. Dreamed of killing an elk. My second year as a resident got it done in a general area.

The year that I fail at my goal to fill the freezer will be the year you see a grown man cry lol!

I will say this….the wlk hunt this year was tougher than I’ve recently experienced.

I put a total of 93 miles on the boots over the course of 9 days. Pack out on two elk was 7 miles in. Snow and muddy conditions made for a rough meat packing experience. But….well worth the efforts! The delicious meat and experiences will always be cherished!

Killed my first elk and it was with my bow this year. Hunted some real big bulls and ended up calling this guy into 28 yards on the second to last day of the hunt.

 

[littlebull209338]

muleytail...congratulations...nice bull.....bad news is that it will all be down hill from here..ya shoulda got a small one first and worked your way up,,,,,,,oh well. I am jealous...my first was a spike when I was 14 with a model 721 Remington 270 with 130gr. silver tip ammo. Getting anything with a stick and string is sure rewarding...good job.

My 12 Year Old Niece Got Her 1st Bull This Year!

 

[Fishingkid]

First elk for me.

 

[muleymaddness]

I've killed quite a few mule deer and tried a couple times on elk, but here is my first this year - Nevada.

 

[littlebull209338]

muley: Why not just start big and go for very big next time ? That is a darn nice bull as big as anything I ever shot out of the 32. Way to go !

My daughter in law shot her first bull in New Mexico, and my son shot his first muzzy bull in Arizona. Both DIY public land in unit they had never hunted before. Don’t know how and don’t have permission to post pictures.?

Lucky for you, I know a guy who has a couple pictures.

 

[BacDoc]

You look familiar. Didn’t see what you had posted. Nice write up. See you at Christmas.?

 

[elkassassin]

Did BacDoc Need a BacDoc after Them Hunts?

Nice Job Guys & Gals!

 

[BacDoc]

BacDoc wasn’t in on the packing, back did get sore during the butchering. I’m the designated meat cutter.?.

 

[elkassassin]

That's Good To Know BacDoc!

Might Need Some Butchering some Day!
