[QUOTE="Jim See, post: 1001011, member: 69519"] Sans, Well I never hunted with a guide before, I've elk hunted every year since 98 and think I have packed out enough elk meat on my back to know where and when I want to kill an elk. I don't go for the horns although I would love to harvest a 370" I usually go to fill the freezer. I will be leaving tonight for my annual elk trip and I don't consider shooting an elk at 1200 yards cheating. I think of it as a long walk to the meat counter, that I only have to do once every year. If I don't shoot one I will still have fun with guys I have been friends with for years. At 44 years old, I have seen many a group of 20 something's hike for miles never to see elk. All the while I sit at camp glassing mountains to find where the elk are before I ever lace up my boots. Last year I hunted "my elk" for 6 days before I hiked up a valley and shot him at 968 yards. You followed an elk for 90 minutes. Either way we were both hunting. Seems the way we do it works pretty good, in the last 5 years we have been 70% on filling our tags on public ground, at ranges from 30-1202 yards. [/QUOTE]
