As long as I have lived in Idaho, 51 years, I have harvested 4 bull elk, 3 spikes, and a small 6 point, western count. I was more interested in a good eating cow elk, which at last count, was 23. Open cow elk tags are extinct now because of the wolf depredation. So, last fall, I had a late whitetail buck tag, and got a small buck. At the same time, this bull elk hunt is on going too. There was a really nice 6 point bull hanging around my house! Maybe he will come back this year too. Nothing going on for a while anyway.

Pappy,
Sounds to me like you are very well prepared with that 50 and 54 caliber stuff.

Having a son in law across the street to supply the equipment for the haul out is a definite plus.

Several years ago,a bow hunter harvested a 305 lb white tailed deer in a near by state forest.

Haul that out of the woods and it is uphill..both ways!!!

A 305lb. white tail is a huge deer no matter where you live. I have taken over 60 in my life time and only one went over 200. Most went 125 to 160 on a good year.

Sidney,

Most deer in my area are the less than 200 lb range. But,once in a while,a large one shows up.

Some places in the north east,they tend to get to be very large.

I think that one,up in Maine,harvested many years ago went 400+ lbs!!!!

Was up early this morning and went out on the deck and heard elk calves talking. Eventually I saw at least 20 calves with there with their mother cows. Nice to see this year's crop.
