WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
I have just gotten our engraved cartridge case back from @p_ham and he did an amazing job. I would highly recommend asking him if he would engrave your case if you have a special one that you want to keep. This is so much nicer than the sharpie written cases that I have stored in a box. Over... -

Cartridge engravings (keepsakes)
Just got my case back in the mail last night and it turned out better than I could have ever expected. Thank you for the great work, quick turn around, and offering this up as a service. Hands down this is far and away better than anything I have seen.- WinkB

Yes there is an equal amount of tags that are given to the tribes. There are approximately 11 tribes that participate in the hunt as well. These tribes represent individuals from northern MN, WI and the UP of MI. It is entirely up to them as to how they give out the tags and who will be the... -

We couldn't have done this without the support of my wife as well it was very important to all of us to take part in the hunt. I was really wishing it would have happened on a day where she was with us. The tags are only available to WI residents only, and I have been putting in for all three... -

I believe it was around Monday May 29th ish. The application period opens around the first part of March and goes through May. As soon as it closed I think they started reaching out to folks. -

Nope, this will be the only place we really publicly put it out there. I know the local paper wants to chat with her along with the DNR, but I don't have any other social media accounts so you all get to hear it here first. -

Thank you for following along on our little adventure. It truly was an amazing experience and I wish we could do it again in our home state. For any resident in the state, I encourage you to apply, it is only $10 and you could be on the short list of those who have harvested an elk and... -

For those interested the 7mm-08 did it's job with those 140gr Accubonds leaving the muzzle at 2,880. One shot was a pass through and the other was found on the opposite side and it performed just like you would expect the bullet to do. Final bullet weight was 98gr. When we pealed the hide... -

Now it is time to get him home and cared for. A quick stop at a gas station and a few snacks after a long day. As I am fueling up a semi was driving down the highway and all of a sudden I hear him hit the brakes hard and come to a stop. He jumps out of his truck and comes over. Is that... -

6:20PM time to contact the DNR. Text to the DNR: "Bull down" They give me a call to find out where we are and they are on their way to resister the harvest and collect all the samples. They informed us when they got on sight that this bull was over 3 miles away on the other side of a river... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
As you could tell by my previous post we had gotten permission from a private land owner to access his property and hunt an area of public and private. Based on our scouting and talking to the landowner it was fairly unpredictable as to if or when they may show up. He had not seen any of them... -

Day 5: Rain We sat and hiked for 5 hours in the morning and got noting but wet. As we were having lunch I asked my daughter what she wanted to do. she said it was time to change things up and go to our backup location that we had scouted the days before. Would this be a good decision for us... -

Need tripod to hold rifle for my son
I agree that combo rail from salmon river solutions is great and you can put that on any stock. You have a pic or arca mount up front. Mount that right into a tripod and with a little practice you are good to go. I have tried several tripods and I think the I will give the new one from a...- WinkB

Need tripod to hold rifle for my son
You want to borrow something vs buying? You cover shipping I could send you a tripod with a hog saddle attached and you can use it on any firearm. It would look like this: It may save you from having to buy something- WinkB

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
I document about as well as I hunt, so I only think to take a picture or two when we are near the vehicle either taking off or coming back. The camera just stayed in my pocket most of the time. Just ask my daughter, every hunt I have tried to film for her has failed, I always turn the camera... -

@seeth07 the forest service will use Avenza and the associated maps for the area when determining your compliance. OnX, or a gazetteer and other mapping references may show roads and trails but the seasonal legality of that from a forest service standpoint goes back to their maps. You can load... -

WI ELK, the story of a once in a lifetime hunt
We were starting to think that all the elk had decided to go on vacation and leave the area. Then before you know it, we were back on good sign. That nice pine tree was all tore up, and there was some very fresh track, so maybe we were in the right area. However the sun was out that day and...
