How many elk

[chevy]

I was just wondering how many elk have you been on and killed or been with someone who has kileed an elk i know a guy in the east kootenays who has been on over 160 elk kills in his life (so far) he is actually a member of this site (elkmaster) he really is the elk master best bugler i and anyone from the elk valley has ever heard 2 thumbs up elk master keep up the good work, elkmaster was also the canadian elk bugling champion in 1984........Chevy

One and that was a cow elk the second day of bow season near cranbrook this year, being it was my first time elk hunting and new nothing of the area I couldn't pass it up this year I'm holding out for a bull.

Me, called in lots, been in on a few, got 2 myself!
Chevy... Isnt elkmaster your dad??? Either way, he does seem to be a very accomplished hunter!!! I can call in elk right to my barrel, but id love to get some expert tips on elk calling someday from such a pro!

1st time last year and I got a beauty 6x6. Cant wait for sept.1 or the magical year I get a draw on the Island here.

[Gateholio]

Only relaly hunted elk twice, I had some respond to bugles, and I snuck in on a nice big 6x6, but got busted by some unseen sentry cows!!:lol:

Tried the next day, but never saw the big guy again, just a weird antler formation 6 point. Which I didn't shoot.:lol:

I'm going to visit elkmaster this fall, get him to teach me The Force, like Obi Won Kenobi!8-)

One only, the only year I was able to go for elk. My buddy tagged out on a decent 6X6 between Revelstoke & Golden. MMMmmmmmm...Elk.

[Fisher-Dude]

Probably in on about 25 kills. I plan to add to that this year! Called in many, and can say this is one of the few animals that can come in like a freight train and sneak out like a mouse, before I can see 'em or count to 6...

before I can see 'em or count to 6...

no plug-in for the calculator?

[MattB]

LOL, GG i dont think he would use a calculator. He's oldschool and stickin' with the abacus! :)

[Upearly]

Four.....Two big bulls, 1 small bull, 1 cow.....all North Van Isle "Roosies" several years ago. Can't seem to get the draws any more though. :-(

I still have 6 fingers left. That's all I need! :lol:

Hope I have enough to count up all the kids you're gonna have. Harper's new child tax credit is some incentive for a young buck huh? 8-)

[kishman]

I'm hoping this year will be my first.....

[rocksteady]

Probably 20 plus....Lots of cows/calf tags but also 6 or 8 nice bulls...

[elkguide]

I had to really think on this one.....been hunting 25 years now and I have tagged 22 myself ( 20 bulls and 2 cows) , I've been with buddies on their elk hunts thats 18 or so and I've guided 14 so that's 54 give or take a few.

[eagleye]

Personally have taken 37, but have been in on at least that many more, killed by hunting buddies and relatives. Have shot quite a few more moose than elk. 50 years of hunting will do that for you!! Eagleye.

[bearheart]

6 bulls for me, one, my eldest son.

[eastkoot]

Around 30 myself and lots of other kills..No cows or calves, I have petted a few but never shot a flat top. Mind you I'm older than most here so got a head start..

[Rock Doctor]

An even Dozen for me, most were mine and the others were friends.
Four of them were nicely mached 4x4's, which I have been told is quite rare?

[hunter1947]

In 36 years i have downed 26 in the cranbrook area and one Roosevelt elk hear on the island and in the last two years been on another two Roosevelt hunts and they my friends connected on both hunts. I have been on 30 other hunts as well and on hafe of them they my friends connected on 60% of the hunts we were on.http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif hunter 1947.

[hunter1947]

Yes they are quite rare ,but we got two in the cranbrook area over the years hunting there. hunter 1947.
