S#!t!!! I'm stuck in the office and DD is out ELK hunting. Seems like a local rancher lost an Elk at the locker plant and he needs help hunting down the stray. DD left here with a smile a mile wide as he gets to try his Model 8 on an Elk. I'd better get some steaks for this!

UPDATE.....The Elk is in an irragated quarter of unpicked corn. It came out to the edge once @ about 1300. I was getting ready to pop it and an vehicle came speeding by and back into the unpicked corn it went again...I knew 2M's wanted to leave this afternoon so I came back to the office. At 1600 I'm heading out to try and finish the job...Next time I check in I'm hopeing to have news of a kill!!!!!

Well Elk season is over!!!!!!!!!!I picked up Bounce @ 1615 and headed over to the "area". This time I had the 25-06 because it was crunch time. Bounce had his Model 81 in .300 Salvage. At 1715 Bounce and I spotted her. But again she went back into the corn. We had to leave @ 1815 so we didn't get a shot. I talked to the Rancher and @ sundown and he called her in w/ a elk cow call and they got her. At least Bounce got to go Elk hunting here in Nebraska and SAW one!!!!! To tell you the truth in some ways it was more challenging than some of the elk hunts I've been on in Colo. Plus I was able to spend some time brushing up on my critter thinking skills. Plus I found a huge covey of Hungarian Partridge but that will be another story in about 3 weeks when bird seasons open.

Darn! I was hoping for a good story. Would have been really great it bounce could've blown that elk up and over about two rows of corn, defying physics...again.. ;D At least a good time was had by all.

LOL Speaking of that.....I mind the time while Elk huntin' that a guy made fun of my 25-06. He carried a 300 WMag. In the end it was the 25-06 that killed the elk. ;D

So whats he charge to let you come out and shoot an elk in a corral, tied up, drugged, blind, hit in the head with a hammer so it stays in one spot. Inquiring minds what to know.
