I didn't know you could do that. Screw the money, I'd keep the fur for myself.

Dads 2012 Elk Hunt... Should have had a bull!!!
Well after my success earlier in the year during second season. My dad had a bull and cow tag for the 4th season. It started on a Wednesday and went through sunday. He had been up in the area all week and managed to only see a few fleeting glimpses of elk running off... Well saturday we hit an area and looked hard but did not see an elk 1. Cut only 2 tracks. So on sunday I took him into one of my favorite areas right at first light. We started up the road and immediately found 2 elk heading up the mountain. They were both spikes so after a brief moment of excitement we were let down.
We continued up the canyon and about 1 mile up we found a single cow out, the shot would have been pretty far and she acted calm considering how late into the season we were. So we let her slip up into the trees and backed up and took after her on foot.
My dad and I climbed to the nearest ridge and after about a 40 minute stalk we stepped around a tree and there a bull standing at 30 yards broadside. I whisper for him to get up with me. He comes up fast settles in and shoots. The elk all run off... There ended up being like 7 cows and the bull. The cows were all back in the trees at about 80 yards. I am pretty certain that little bull was the luckiest animal on the mountain that day. My dad never saw him. He had no idea we were even there until the shot...
At any rate my dad made a less than desirable shot on the cow and managed to completely blow up the rear knee. The cow turned and headed down hill where we put her down. Actually the cow went right back to where we had seen the first one from the blazer. Needless to say I was able to back the blazer over to her and load her up. Not a bad year, hopefully next year will get a little better... We 3 for in general rifle elk hunts... Only tag I did not fill was my archery tag.
I am sure glad I can still get the old man out. He actually does pretty well I am just always concerned when he is out by himself...
Now time to find some cats!!!
Thank fully there was a good ditch for the rear tires. It lowered the rear tailgate like nearly 3 feet. Of course we were then loading the elk uphill in the back.

No photos but we got 2 cow elk over the weekend. There is a night time pic of a 500-600lb cow elk we strapped to the hood of a 90 Jeep Cherokee. Took 5 of us to get it up there and it was a beotch. A very slow 30 mile drive back to the house. Could see only the left 6" of the windshield to see the road

I love Kansas.
This was my first time to hunt Kansas (About 70 miles Northwest of Salina) and IT WAS AWESOME!!!! My hunting partner and I had a great time, filled all of our tags (1 buck, 2 does each) and had great weather. We have been hunting together for a lifetime and I think this was the best deer hunt we have ever had. We are both from the Eastern Ozarks in Southern Missouri and long shots in our part of the world are typically 100 to 200 yards. In Kansas, things don't even get interesting until 200 plus yards. Unfortunately I didn't take very many pictures on my phone, and I haven't had a chance to get pictures from my buddy yet.
Anyway here is a picture of the view of a doe that I killed at 342 yards.
And then here is the doe.
Unfortunately I don't have any photos of my longest shot of 602 yards on another doe. It was late and just about at the end of shooting light. But at 602 yards, I have set a new personal best with my specialty pistol.
Here is my rig. Savage dual port target action in 300 WSM, Neal Cooper rear grip stock, Nikon Monarch 6-24x50 (This photo shows it with a Bushnell Elite 4200), Burris Signature Zee Rings with 20 minute inserts, EGW one piece base, Barrel is a factory sporter barrel cut down to 17" and nitride treated. My load is a 180 grain SMK at 2996 fps. It works extremely well on whitetail deer in Missouri AND Kansas.

Big Pappa,
Just a warning. In Colorado technically that could be considered illegal. There is a rule about distasteful display of game. While I would never say somehting, the wrong person all butt hurt could cause you some issues. I have had a deer on my jeep hood once and was stopped by a DOW officer. Luckily we were only going back to camp, so he just warned us... I hate stupid laws, but he said he could have written a ticket all beit a small one.

We were just going back to camp. It just happened to be 30 miles away and past the next town :
Believe me, there were a lot of reservations about doing that. We were going to go get the truck but they wanted to do this. This one wasn't mine or my jeep, so whatever
