Awesome bulls! I am headed back out to Idaho my for my third elk hunt this September. Hopefully I have a pic to contribute at the end of this season!

It was a first season hunt, as you can see there was a pretty significant snow right before season that was melting while we were up there.

My last trophy cow. This one was hiking around 8k. The previous year was off of skis at a similar elevation. Elk in snow have always been my thing since it's easier to get them out solo. The ones on dirt and rock just take more trips.

2016 Wasatch Utah late elk hunt. Sixth day, three miles in from the road with an elevation change of around 2500 feet. One of my favorite hunts ever, but it's true that sometimes the punishment for elk hunting is elk hunting.

Awesome bull

I love this.

Some great looking elk. Drew my ND OIL tag this year.

I love this.

The best part of elk hunting is being in the beauty of nature. The worst part is the hard work nobody ever sees.

My son's bull last year. White River Forest OTC. He and I packed it out and almost killed me but I'd do it again in a hearbeat.

Might be hard to top this pic no matter how big the thread gets! (p.s. I was born in 73....)

You got that right!

Good luck. I hunted it the last two, with a buddy that’s been going there like 23 years straight. If I go back, it’s for Archery Antelope. Lol just try to have fun and don’t beat yourself up about the elk.. if you plan on fishing the lake at all best to bring plenty of baits well ahead of time not wait til your there. Lol

A little late to the party but here's my NM elk from 2021.

First bull elk and a 30 year bucket list item.

I didn't draw this year but can't wait to go back again. I will be in NM hunting mule deer this year so i do have that to work towards.
