MOOSIE, I wasn't gonna buy a tag until I was sure I had a critter to hang it on. Well, I found just the critter.

My statement was that I would no longer buy tags that I wouldn't be using..... In this instance, I found an elk to use a tag on so I did have a use for an elk tag. Therefore, I bought an elk tag to use.

FWIW, no sage brush was trampled in the killing or loading of the elk. Because there was no sage brush around

Does that mean you shoot the elk first and then go buy the tag?

No matter how I say it, others will read it the way that they want too, but as I said:

On the elk I had found. I found the herd of elk, bought an elk tag, then used the tag on the elk I shot.

 

[Moosie]

WOW.. For you to spend all that money it must have been a nice one !!!!!!

I understood it as ya shot one then went back to buy a tag, but I'm not one to call someone out

Still waiting for the pics ......

MOOSIE, I shot a spike, and my freind had a digital camera. I'm waiting for him to email me the photos. I'm gonna post them as soon as I get them, but I'll probably have to send them through you for everyone to see. No matter how I say it, there will be those here that will read it just as you understood it. I'm getting to old to be called out.

 

[Moosie]

So.... You shot a Spike ? AND had a tag.... WOW !!!!

Send them to me I'll post 'um, But I'm leaving tomorrow again for 4 days to chase my spike

 

[Ten Bears]

I'm still waitin' for him to email me the pics. Probably wont get them until this weekend (woulda been quicker to have had film developed).

 

[Moosie]

LOL.... It's this weekend. Tell him to hurry

 

[Ten Bears]

Finally got them in.
It took so long for my help to find me that I had it all skinned and ready to go before they got there.

The guy in the pictures is my helper. He wanted the head and hide to sell.

Here's a shot of the head and hide loaded on his ATV, and ready to head to market.

I had to click on properties of each one and cut and paste the url, then, after I did and went back to the thread, they showed up. Dont know why.

Your fly is open.

Congrats!

 

[Ten Bears]

Thats the guy that came out to help me with it.

 

[Ten Bears]

Thanks for fixing the photos.

 

[Elkhunter]

Congrats and thanks for the pictures.

 

[wyomingtim]

Wow, that is one trophy spike....enough to make some people jealous.

 

[Muledeer4me]

Good going Ten Bears.

 

[Ten Bears]

Thanx.

It's a good eating elk too. The funniest part about the whole thing is that he was hanging out with some open range beef. 1 spike elk and about 12 beef.
