I drew a type 6 elk license this year and finally got around to hunting it the last couple days. I had a great opportunity early the first morning, but the herd was between myself and another hunter. Neither of us shot, and its good to see some great safety being practiced out there...hunters safety is working.
The weather was unbelievable, highs in the 60's clear and calm. Not exactly perfect for elk hunting, but I saw elk every day and it made camping in November pretty darn enjoyable.
Late last evening I edged up on a herd of 6 cows/calves and decided to shoot a calf. I already have a freezer full of elk burger off the six point I shot, so I figured something a bit more tender may be good for steaks.
One shot at about 90 yards.
Going to go deer hunting for 2 full weeks starting this Tuesday in both Montana and Wyoming...then end the season on elk for a week in Montana. Should be fun regardless of the outcome. Looking forward to spending 3 weeks hunting instead of hunting a few days between work...which I've done pretty much all season.
Good luck to everyone else the next few weeks.
