    Got a chance to fill the elk tag this morning. Different kind of gathering in the woodlot.
    Little tractor and two good Grandsons made the job a whole lot easier. Was hoping for a sunny day but gotta get ‘em when they show up. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Wow Big Cow Elk . Elk is 1 of my favorites. You are making me hungry. And that's better than a load of wood right there. Congrats

    Always. I don’t think I’ve ever taken game with a factory round.

    Reloader, very nice elk! I’d also like to ask you some reloading questions if you’re able to. I will PM you.
