An Elk Hunt With Me

[Seeker]

We all have a choice on HBC.
Endlessly debate issues with the same repetitive groups or take the time to share some field experiences.
HBC has slipped into a debating sight more than a hunting site.

I try and drop the odd story to keep some hunting content going.


More should do the same.
Just sayin

Couldn't agree more.

Gawd I love elk hunting!

These stories are the common ground to which we can all relate. We all have them and the incredible experiences are so enjoyable that they keep us going in pursuit of the next great hunt. The possibility of such hunts is the very reason we ALL want to continue to hunt and to preserve our lifestyle. Thanks for the distraction.

Do you have a picture of the final mount on a wall? I would love to see it. I am debating how to go about mounting mine and when I saw yours, it is what I was looking at, but a right hand turn versus a left.

Then why not post your own story?

I've been pretty active on the site this season and the number of people posting their success stories is dismal. Yet, there's no shortage of comments agreeing with Ourea when he encourages others to "do the same".

Fricken post stuff up, people, if you want the place to get better

VERY well written, and magnificent elk! I hope to find a legal 6 in the OK Valley let alone a big old bruiser like that!

Hence the reason I post my hunting adventure thread every year.. Not about getting boone and Crockett. About sharing hunting stories with other passionate woodsmen (or wannabees)...

I may not take the biggest or best of any species but like sharing my passion..

Your many hunt shares are always appreciated and duly noted by most.

Thanks for sharing the awesome adventure Ourea, that must have been an amazingly satisfying way to finish that hunt after the events that transpired... a real roller coaster. Thanks again for your important contributions to HBC and more so to the maintainable future of hunting in BC. We are a minority and we need people to be passionate able hunting today more than ever.

Reg 8 still holds moderate numbers but has taken a sh*t kicking in age though.
I haven't hunted the Okanagan in Reg 8 myself, for elk, for 3 yrs now.
Pretty tough to find many bulls that make it past 3 or 4 years.

Pressure, access, and a heavy yr round FN presence is pretty hard on the elk here.
Not discouraging anyone but do understand it is tough to find elk that are not being bounced every other day.
