North Manti Antlerless Elk Success

[Wiszard]

It took several days to even find any elk but was finally able to find them the 4th day of the hunt. Found one by herself and made the shot count. Good thing I had some help to pack this big girl out. Never seen a black cow elk so I feel kind of special. LOL. Have any of you ever come across one that is black? Should be some good eats! Thanks to everyone on here who helped me out with info.

Congrats!

Reminds me of the time my wife and i pulled up to customs at the USA side of the bridge in New York with her moose in the back of the truck bed. “Hey you guys, come see this lady’s elk!!”

We both just looked at one another and laughed (quietly)…lol

More meat I know what to do with. I may use some of it as bait for my upcoming Cali bear hunt.

I told you to be careful hunting by yourself, some of those north manti cows can get pretty big..,
I bet the pack out was brutal?

Truthfully, the elk hunt was a let down.

Congrats Wiszard.
I've seen lots of black Shiras cows, so yes I have seen them that black. My bull was also that color and it tasted like beef. My old bull was darn tough and I wish I would have turned most of it into burger.
Well done.
