Santiam,

Keep those photos coming I have to live elk hunting throu you guys this fall. That last photo is stunning.

We get to hunt almost 5 months and practically no limit but it still aint the "adventure" elk hunting is.I like the recent Rik Hinton article in Bowhunter mag "seeking solitude" thats whats so great about elk. Where they live takes you to places and makes you fell things that a trip on "the back 40" cant even come close.

Looking forward to more....Yohon..."the miss placed elk hunter"  :bigsmyl:

Jock, if ya can keep the pics comin' I'd appreciate it. Thats the home of my ancestors. Someday I will get over there to wander around a bit. Hopefully this wont dredge up old rivalries, but I'm a Stewart.  

Thanks and keep'em coming.

Lee,
Went out for an evening stalk last night, was quite an evening.

You'll have probably guessed by now that Jock is kinda camera shy  :)

I am kneeling where I took my shot from.  Goat was standing on the rock above me at a whooping, SEVEN FEET!!!!

 

Results of my seven foot shot after the goat tumbled head over heals 1000' down a chute on the backside of the mountain.

 

My buddy Benny Pinney was along as a sherpa.

My buddy Benny Pinney and I and results from our recent Adak Island caribou hunt.  Adak caribou are documented to have the highest body weights of any caribou anywhere, up around 700#.  I believe that these two bulls lead by Benny's are probably the largest two bodied caribou ever killed by stick and string.  Benny's bull is 8 feet from nose to tail and 60" in girth behind the shoulder.  Benny's bull is the first on Adak by stick as best as we are able to determine as well.  Benny's shot was 3 yards!!!  Mine was shot at 20 yards.

Jock, Am looking forward to being in your neighborhood next week, the pictures you have posted really have my wife and I excited to being there for awhile. Thanks for posting!
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Steve, those are some great pictures and I love the range! 7 FEET! 3 YARDS! (all the way out to 9 feet) and throwing in the long bomb of 20 yards. That's what I call getting close and getting it done. NICE

Way to go Bennie and Steve! Beautiful pictures and nice animals! Steve I could hardly recognize Bennie in the picture. He sure has matured a lot. I am glad to see that you are still taking care of him. It sure is "good on you" Steve as they say down-under. Is he out of school yet?
God bless,

Jose

Jock, I bet he dont act his age!! lol

Great shots of the goat hunt!! I'd have to have an airambulance to get up there and to get back. ;(

What a great pair of 'bous!!!! My physical situation wont allow me to go after the high mountain prey. But I just might be able to chase a 'bou or 2. Would love to give it a try.

Keep it up 'yall. I'm hopin to contribute in a month or 2.
