First elk hunt, what to bring....
- Thread starter GeauxLSU
- Start date
wow and not a Dollar General in sightThis ain't Georgia.
looks good - and good Hunting
I recently got this bull on one of my Bucket List check offs
the young guide never ran out of gas and was surprised that I kept up
PS: I used a 24 inch barrel TC in .45-70 ~ the guide wants you to bring something more powerful than a .30-30
shot back to not hit the shoulder, recovered the 300gr Hornady FXT on the other side below the skin
no wasted meat

Bring the elk, too.
Elliott likes taking rides, and he'll probably get in the back of your truck if you throw a couple marshmallows in there.

Sat down and immediately saw elk. Several young bulls and a few cows. Pretty thick stuff so glimpses on and off the entire time. Just a bit far for a late afternoon shot. Back at them in the morning. Also saw some muleys, (including a real nice buck at the entrance), Jack rabbit and jumped some quail.
Some incredible, but RUGGED country.
Oh yeah, it came down to ammo availability. Carrying the '06 and have the 7mag as back up.

The quiet is amazing. The landowner doesn't live on this ranch. He lives on another closer to a town. His nearest neighbor is 5 miles away.
