I know the elk like to hang out in the primitive weapon areas the most. I've got a bow and 870 Rem shotgun but should I get a muzzleloader too for just in case? I've always wanted to get back into the smokepoles so now may be the time. On the shotguns, can they go in all the areas as the bow and smokepole?

Cow elk tag if that matters.

Thanks.

95 yard shot at broadside cow. 165 grain 300 winmag E-tip blew out both lungs n clipped the heart. She ran about 60 yards n piled up. 263 lbs gutted. 4 cows down last we heard, mine area 10, 1 from 20, 1 from 25 and no word on where for 4rth one. I cant believe the rain held off, it wad perfect day 32f to mid 50s. One muzzleloader guy in 13e had pighunters blow his stalk. They told us no general hunters would be in our elk zones n then dropped 5 pig hunters on this marine from 29 palms. Needless to say he was not happy. My hunt almost didnt happen, FHL sent me military package that told me to pick up tag at FHL. I was never received DFG elk tag. DFG Warden Gil and FHL Warden Look were real helpful in getting me a last minute temp tag.

Huge thanks to Xao for the scouting info n Eric for glassing and help cutting up the meat.

Pig hunting now

Other hunters at skinning shack Sat.

Mom saw the shirt and got it for him. He got his early Sat also.

Chillin. Sure is nice to have a meat cooler on the fort to hang meat.
