View attachment 342510View attachment 342508Couldn’t stay awake… I needed to pull over and get a shower and good night sleep instead of drive all night. I left the parking lot of my general tag around 8pm, headed for my cow elk/antelope hunt. I hit Jackson and couldn’t focus on the road anymore, I decided it was better to get a place to stay than keep driving or parking lot it somewhere. The body could definitely use it. I’m going to bed and will update when I get back from my cart hunt (cow elk and antelope buck)

I’ve tuned in late, but did anyone else notice brow tines?

 

[CRJR45]

I did not ...

 

[TOGIE]

you guys mean the two things in that picture that are brow tines?

those brow tines? i see those brow tines.

It's at least a rag horn, @Dsnow9 probably shot the first elk he saw, he's so picky...

 

[Valley1320]

Man I missed those antlers first look. Looks like someone was successful!

 

[Dsnow9]

This should be an interesting hunt… I guess I won’t need to pack the weight of the spotter…

And @LuketheDog every elk is a trophy to me!

 

[Dsnow9]

Well I got to the parking area Monday night just before dark and got everything situated and packed for my hike in the next day.

The sunrise was amazing Tuesday morning and I grabbed my pack and hit the trail. Almost 3k vertical and 4-6 miles depending on a camp site. We weren’t sure about water either so I packed a bit extra a regret that move. I took all of my gear and two days of food. The rest would come in on the llamas Wednesday night.

It’s go time!

The hike was pretty brutal. At the 4 mile in camp I found a nice group of horse hunters with a couple kids. Went another half mile or so to the next water and whoever had been there last had destroyed the area and left a ton of crap. Including cans of chili that had some nice big teeth holes in them.

I ended up having to go 6.5 miles in to find suitable water for us and the llamas. I dropped weight, set up my tent and headed to glass. On the way to the glassing knob I saw a wolverine (badger thanks for the education) which was my first one! Pretty cool!

Pretty sure that’s your average run of the mill badger.

Badger.

 

[WildWill]

Yep badger.

 

[duckhunt]

Badger?

That what's I'm thinking.

 

[mevertsen]

Badger

 

[Lostinthewoods]

If you cant escape people let me know and I'll just send you my honey hole pins.

 

[Hem]

Badger face.
They are pretty groomed for a sour demeanor. Wolverines not so kept....whole different everything.

 

[FREAK]

@Dsnow9, in case you weren't aware by now...that's a badger . Looking forward to hearing the rest of the story!

 

[kwyeewyk]

It's a Wisconsin wolverine!

 

[Gerald Martin]

You just need to get closer to check whether it’s a badger or a wolverine. If you approach it with your hand out and it bites your hand off it’s a badger. If it bites your head off it’s a wolverine.
