This is why most of us hunt.

I enjoy horn porn just as much as the next guy. The other night when I was cutting up my elk it really hit me why I really do this. Even though the steaks off this bull are pretty tough he sure will feed my family well.

I was helping a friend butcher a 2 year old cow elk on Monday night and I was getting pretty hungry cutting up those tender steaks!

Looks dreamy.

A lot of that bull wound up as hamburger but I still have 2 cow tags. The calf population is going to be hurting.

That is fantastic! Great pic, well said +1, and great beer. I am hungry for some straps! (We just picked ours up from the processor this week. Tailgating with fresh elk burgers and backstraps - GO CSU!)

That has always been my bottom line. I like antlers, but they are really no big deal. I currently have three freezers full of deer, turkey, fish and moose, along with home-made snack stix, jerky and summer sausage. THAT is what it is all about to me.

Man that looks good!

Agree! No elk for me yet this year, but I've put two WT does in the freezer. The burger from them is some of the best I've had. And I don't know why, but I appreciate a guy that processes his own meat. Not against taking it in and haveing it commercially processed, I have in the past on occassion. But for the last 4 years I've done it all myself, and feel its as integral to the hunting process as the scouting, shooting, and packing. It can be a giant pain in the ass, but I get a lot of satisfaction out of it.

My family lives off of venison. I bet I buy beef no more than three or four times a year
