ravenrA few photo's of an elk hunt
My nephew drew a great late season bull tag here
in Wyoming. So last week we loaded the ponies and rode into an offered cow camp cabin.
The cabin is some what modern but the rest is straight out of the 1900's
The mountain in the back ground is our destination and we rode for 3 days looking for the right bull.We sorted thru almost 100 bulls
before killing this beauty.
We cleaned the cabin, split wood to replace what we used, added our left over groceries to the cub bards and loaded the bull on pack horses and came home.Enjoy

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.
Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

ravenrThanks fellas
Crazy part of the whole hunt was we shot the bull returning to the cabin one evening.
Thou the shot was 279, the bull hit the ground just 137 yards from the front door!

Highlander7Congrats on that great bull and sharing the pictures! Question. Since you shot it on the way back to the cabin... were you actually that close to the cabin's front door?

We were roughly 400 yards from the cabin
and the bull was between us and the cabin.

bwanamrmNice bull... well done!

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

Bama15That sounds like a FUN hunt. To see that many bulls would keep you pumped up then take a bull like that and to do it that way. Great!
