All I can say is if you need that thing on an elk hunt you have lost your way…

I initially missed this thread, but the catching up has been riveting. Gumption in buckets. Good luck on the rest of this season!

Only if you strut like it’s a pimp cane.

Lots of room for more elk… let’s hope next week we can get it done

If you don't fill it, and I hope you do, but I know a guy with less room and more elk.

You think CPW would give me a pass on the orange laws! It would clash a bit!

Some will say getting your meat processed isn’t worth it or they like to do it themselves. Lucas over at the meat cleaver in denver does amazing work, and is a great guy to boot! I was out of town for the last two weeks and get back to a big load of meat. All prepared and ready to throw in the freezer.

I forgot a cooler but only live five minutes away so not a big deal.

I got home and had some help unloading the truck!

How many pounds total after processing?

How many pounds total after processing?

165 ish plus the 5% fat added to some of the sauasages

Cow was 122 and calf was 43

So all said and done yielded probably slightly less than that. Didn’t weigh the crates as I dumped them in my truck

 

[TOGIE]

I was adamant about saving the money… until the baby came. Ugh. I’m thoroughly enjoying paying someone to do it now.

I’m not gonna plug my processor because they can get pushed out on drop off availability quick.

But, if there is a choice between dropping 450 bucks on a processor and doing it yourself so you can buy another NR elk tag next year the choice is obvious.

Man, just read through this entire thread. @Dsnow9 @MtnElk I'd have to take my top 3 dumb hunting seasons/trips and cram them all into a single season to get even CLOSE to what you guys have done so far, nicely done!

Looking forward to the rest!

honestly, I’m not positive. I’ll look into it. I was against it. I don’t like lamb. Wife really likes it and it’s good for her blood type or something like that. My MIL has a close high-school friend that raises them and I was not part of the purchase or transaction. I don’t see the point in purchasing an animal when I have a freezer full of them.

I’ll pm you the last name at least but I’m not sure which of their properties the animal came from.

Just giving you a hard time. I like to ask that question when the opportunity arises, just to get people thinking.
