SMDH, there are free ranging elk there, eye.


And here I thought this was another Hillary thread.

That would be another "Hilda BeastQ!!"

I Believe the story behind these elk is that a HF operation back in the 90's opened his gates and let them all go and quit his business. That's the story I've pieced together. I co-worker's husband drew a tag two years ago. I guess the white landowners in and around the area have a deal through the tribe and state. But he got a big one that year.

What a giant. Congratulations to the hunter.

 

[Rowdie]

Oh, he paid a pretty penny for that. They have a blind auction for a non resident tag.

 

[guywhofishes]

woulda been even bigger next year ;:;popcorn

I believe he got some on his fancy onesie. Like he crawled right into the gut cavity.

Other than that, yup its a beast of a ND'r

Yep, 4 available tags with minimum bids of $5k.


I wonder what the winning bids were this year....

Just learned that there's a whole Hunting the Rock series of videos on Youtube and a FB page. Pretty fun watching when you compare it to all the canned HF hunts.

The elk are cool little compromise between the tribe and state. People with a rez tag can hunt state ground and people with state tags can hunt rez ground.

What about the natives with no tags?

What is wrong with the ass end on that elk, it looks wrong. Maybe just the camera angle.

 

[guywhofishes]

Do they only allow hunting photos to be taken with Kodak Disk cameras on the reservation?

The story I heard was it ended up crammed into a really crappy spot. They had to remove the hind quarters to get it out enough to even get a decent picture. Sounds like that's also the reason the guy is covered in blood.

I heard it was wounded from another hunter days before, but IDK for sure!
