bwest, Not having been there, I seriously doubt you can attest to the tameness or wildness of Gentleman Jack's elk. There was a bit of a stir after Dustin Linebaugh posted his story and photos of the bear he shot in Alaska. Usually is when someone posts photos and a story of a hunt. This keeps up and we'll all be discussing how to make a "Swift" out of whatever our favorite caliber happens to be at the time. No one will want to post anything about handgun hunting. As I've said before, if one is so opposed to hunting under fence; do not go to South Africa. It would be terribly disappointing; although the lions are wild enough still to eat someone. If your prior post is the best you can add to the forum, you are not welcome here; hear? If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

I got my "tame" elk on a large ranch after several days of intense effort. The elk did eat a little domestic grass and grain from the ranchers crops, it must have been "tame". I saved a year and spent most of what I saved in 10 days. I didn't have a month to scout public land first. I still remember the hunt and enjoyed every minute of it, including the things my guide told me and showed me at no extra charge. The 175 pounds of meat half filled my freezer and was enjoyed by my family and I for months. If the game fees, taxidermy, travel expenses and so on help "wild" game so much the better. If Tennessee eventually opens a hunting season for its elk population, I want to be in on it, until then I'll go on guided hunts for "tame" elk. I am in awe of anyone who gets a bull elk with an iron sighted handgun, period. | |||

I can honestly say that the meat I got is some of the best meat that I have ever ate. I am not just saying that becaused I killed it neither. Its semi dark with almost no fat. It cooks so tender that I havent had to use a knife yet! The slices of meat I have made are about 7 inches wide and 2 inches thick! "There are creatures here that cannot even be found in books, and I have killed them all......" | |||
