Wrapped up the season today...

[BuzzH]

Went out this morning to look around for a couple cows and found about 6-7 hundred right at daylight. Planned a 2.5 mile stalk, worked out really well. It's always a pain to get on those big herds, but lucked out and caught the tail end of the herd (about 75). Picked out a cow and shot, heard the familiar thump of the bullet from the 7-08 and watched as she wobbled and dropped. Picked out a second one and sent another 140 accubond downrange, again, familiar thump and that was that.

If there were a record book for dew claws, this one would win:

I have some much better pictures, but show wayyyy too much country.

Made the 2.5 mile hike back and got the truck. Got back to them at 11:00 on the dot and started quartering them. Had them quartered and in the truck in 1 hour and 5 minutes.

I'll go out and help a buddy for a couple days, but it's been a long season and for once, I'm almost happy it's over.

Time to get the ice fishing stuff together.

Way to get it done Buzz. Congrats on another great season!

 

[Gynaroo]

Great work. Today was one heck of a windy day.

 

[Brittany Chukarman]

Well done,Buzz. I need another elk like a hole in the head but when I see your hunts I always get the urge to go again.

 

[INMT]

Phuck yeah. Nice work!

Now that is the way to end a season.

That’s a great way to close it out

Buzz,

You live a blessed life. Congrats on a great season.

 

[B&CTom]

Well done, sir! I've never seen dew claws anywhere near that length, either

 

[ashersdad]

Nicely done Buzz! Hard to beat the season you've had this year.

 

[Nameless Range]

Your dialed as they come Buzz! Good eatin for the next year.

Unlimited type 8 tags this year, I’m sure the elk appreciate your trigger discipline.

Not much for ice just yet been too warm.

Congrats Buzz! Ice is starting to get decent over on this side of the state. Looking forward to getting out soon.

I bet she was thinking about keeping the dewclaw from hitting the inside of her other leg. Looks quite sharp.

Congratulations are in order, and I would imagine the area property owners are happy a couple more elk are off the range.

I'm going to stick with 3 elk a year in Wyoming.

 

[jvanhoy]

Congrats! A lot of wonderful protein in the back of that truck!
