Iowa newbie in Elk country....

Postby dlo_hunter » 01 29, 2014 •  [Post 1]

I have been going to Wyoming the last several years for antelope and one mule deer hunt. I figured it is time to cut teeth on elk as well. I am building points, but decided to put in for cow tag this year in combination with a limited mule deer buck hunt. I am looking forward to this hunt! Hunting West has always been a blast......I figured if I can kill mature whitetails, I might stand a good chance at elk.

At ant rate, figured I would check in! Currently 43....so I figured I would start building points and go from there!

Welcome to elk camp dio_hunter. Best wishes for your cow hunt. Are you hunting with a bow, rifle or muzzle loader? Hang in here and post a picture of your elk when you get it.
