SCH Annual New Mexico Elk Hunt has begun

NBK said:
We are watching 26 elk right now. Wind is right and the elk are up high in the same spot we left them yesterday. Have decided to commit yet. Below is Lungpopper coming off the hill with 2 front quarters, neck meat, tenderloin, rib meat and backstraps all in his 1850 Kuiu. He is an animal!

Stay tuned...
wow, that thing holds more than the trunk of my car!
 
Heading into a canyon right now. More elk up high. Trying to get a different angle.

Just got in...left the elk on the hill tonight. Tomorrow we will look at a known good area and if we don't see something we can kill, we will go up to the top of the mountain and get them. We are trying to avoid having to saddle horses to get the meat out.

We will see what tomorrow brings. Stay tuned.
 
Debone is the only way to go when they are tuff to get out......and killing them in the AM so you have all day to get them out.

It helps to have an extra man or two and it's DOWN hill is a plus
 
A few more pictures...Snake Charmer, Lungpopper

Another cool pic of Lungpopper coming off the mountain with a full load of dead animal...and him relaxing with 3 elk in the back of his Arctic Cat. The relaxing was well deserved. We pulled 4 elk of the mountain on our backs Friday morning.

Looks like fun. But I don't understand what is going on. You guys can see elk on the mountain but you want different ones? Where did they get the first 3?

Why kill yourself if you don't need to. Trying to get on elk that are easier to extract. Tomorrow we will climb if needed.
 
Is Darryl the only one carrying anything? If so, then maybe he should have brought a smaller pack! Haha
 
We just shot 3 elk on the highest point of the ranch! Pictures to come shortly. Walking down to the elk now!
