Now thats a exciting day on the mountain Scott, good to hear you had a great hunt. I bet you'll be heading back one day for another encounter with elk, everything about those animals and the country they inhabit is fascinating.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

We don't hunt with primitive gear because it's easy. Hell of an attempt anyway and a good story to boot.

We have a small introduced herd here in Pennsylvania. They have a lottery system with points for drawing tags. If you don't get a tag you get a point for next year and they continue to accumulate. Every point you have you get your name added to the drawing an additional time. After reading all the elk adventures posted this year I may have to start putting in for it. Sounds like deer hunting on steroids. 
I have nothing but scorn for all weird ideas other than my own.

Great story Scott, sorry no meat but that is why we call in hunting not killing. ;)

I think you should write the story for PA magazine and use the check they send you to start a fund for next years elk hunt.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Lucky! Great time with great friends and family. Heck with the critters  ;)
