First Elk

[Reelamin]

Just got back and so happy we could take a couple Nebraska guys on their first elk hunt ever. Saw lots of legal bulls (spike unit) and some good ones 300-330. He was able to get his first elk and said he had a great time. Only answer I have is "politics in hunting" when they asked daily why they could not shoot any of the bigger bulls.

Washington?
I was working around Wenatchee, and kept seeing GREAT bulls. I must have seen 40 6x6s. I commented to a BLM guy about wishing I could draw a tag, and he just smirked and said it was a spike only unit. They only sold a few tags for branch atlered bulls in the unit. I looked at him like he was crazy, and he rubbed his fingers together like "big money".

Washington?

Utah has some spike only hunts in big bull units too.

Utah has some spike only hunts in big bull units too.

Oregon is famous for that as well. Wait 25 years and fight with bunch of spike hunters

Once you have eaten elk it's hard to eat anything else except ANOTHER ELK!
Congratulations

Congratulations!! Nothing quite like elk hunting [and eating!] I have been hunting Elk since 1962, and because of
ample opportunity, have been able to fill the freezer with elk numerous times. This fall was no different....I took a 5x6
Bull on opening day here in BC. (September 1) Once you are hooked, there is no looking back. As far as a spike bull
goes, no better table fare can be found, IMHO.
