BAKPAKR’s 2022 Idaho elk hunt

[BAKPAKR]

- Drove to Pittsburgh with my friend in his 2 door Honda Civic, loaded to the gills with hard gun cases, duffels, and backpacks.
- (edit for @marksjeep) Ate at Primanti Bros.
- Flew from Pittsburgh to Spokane.
- Drove several hours.
- Hiked several miles.
- Camped in five different spots, three of which were at least four miles from the truck.
- Had fun camping/hiking with my brother and friends.
- Drove several hours.
- Flew from Spokane to Pittsburgh.
- Drove home with my friend in his 2 door Honda Civic loaded to the gills with hard gun cases, duffels, and backpacks, but no elk.
- The End.

Nothing like the Reader’s Digest version. I like that better than all the word soup that you have to sort out to get an idea of what happened.

What’s next?

I am back in Idaho, sitting in my mom’s dining room, drinking a cup of coffee, and waiting for a big whitetail to step out into the field. I might actually have to move to the unheated barn later this afternoon to have a better view.

4 out of 5 stars because I’m into the brevity thing.

I’m more interested in Lil’ Bakpakr’s story…

I am just glad that Lil’ Bakpakr flew home with her mom so my brother and I didn’t have to endure nine hours of, “Guys, how many elk did you get this year?” or “How big was your biggest elk?” on the way back to Idaho.

Can we get one pic to sum up the trip?

This photo of our group is probably my favorite photo from trip. We have been together on three moose hunts, two sheep hunts, a mule deer hunt, and a bunch of elk hunts over the years - some even successful.

I was going to say this would be a nice one if he is still living and comes down the hill. But the pic is over 2.5 yrs old now.

Wait, were you going to shoot the elk or hug it? Hard to tell with all that pataguchi.

No Primantis in that story? wtf. There's one in the dang airport.

Well, that was a no-brainer since we got through security early! I edited my tale.

Good Luck with your ID whitetail quest.
I like your daughter's elk attitude!
Hope that the meat processing went well and expect to see a pic of a whitie with it's tongue hanging out.

If you come this way, we could see about a cow elk...

That is a tempting offer. I did eyeball Norris Rd on my way through Montana and wondered if it lived up to the hype…

All Montana isn’t road hunting…

Well, the sun set on the last day of deer season and I am deerless, too. @Mica Man was rubbing it in this morning with photos of his buck. I still got my $351.75 worth out of the hunt.

Great right to the point recap. I guess that’s why they call it hunting and not killing right?!?!? Haha. At least you had a good go with ‘lil BAKPAKR. Great post. Here’s to more hunting. Stay in touch
