No dice on archery elk in eastern oregon this year, got close tho. Did shoot a turkey with my bow at least. Was really lookin forward to chasing mulies solo backpackin in hells canyon again but wasnt able to due to the fires there. So i headed straight to wyoming after archery season for my first out of state hunts and first antelope hunt. No luck on antelope after a week, missed a couple even, decided to head to my elk unit. Bagged a cow after hunting about 1.5 hours! Best part was no pack out, i dropped it within feet of a jeep trail lol. First animal I've killed with ammo i handloaded and copper bullets, the cutting edge lazers performed very well

My friend bagged a fat Cow Elk with a head shot using his mother-in-law's borrowed 2014 Prius near Beaver Or.
While waiting for a tow he called the State Police , after looking at the car, declared it a righteous kill allowing him to claim the meat, so with it being a head shot no meat was even bruised. He field dressed it with a pocket knife no less and for a nice roast the tow truck driver was able to lift it whole and deliver it along with the car to his home!
Unfortunately the Prius is a single shot devise and rather expensive to reload!
Me, I just spent two wonderful weeks out of Wallowa, albeit no game in sight and only heard two shots in all that time, and those on another ridge . Though being skunked is a disappointment, I enjoy being out there more than bagging game, so all's still well with me.

Thank gawd one less Prius on the road and everyone except the elk came out ok !

Pretty excited to get this guy. North Central Montana, 4 or 5 inches of snow on the ground, and fun dragging him up out of the coulee to a wheat field for transport.

A couple of Upstate New York deer that I got last fall. Will have more this fall. Between my brother, my friend from Anacortes and his other half and myself we have twenty-two deer tags for New York and Between my brother and myself we have six deer tags in Pennsylvania.
We will be giving a lot of venison away.
I generally harvest five deer a year. This year will be more.
Next Tuesday I take my eleven year old grandson back to Upstate New York for two weeks of small game and trapping.
We come back to Seattle on November 2nd and then I go back to Upstate New York for a month of deer hunting and trapping.
Where we hunt is only a half hour to the Pennsylvania border and we hunt private property right on the New York - Pennsylvania border.
For a non-resident small game - big game hunting license in both states is only $102.
Doe tags in New York are four at $20.
Pennsylvania doe tags are $26 apiece and you can get up to six of them.
I do not hunt here in Washington State anymore. A big waste of time & money.

Lol that small buck I shot double lung .
Took us on a 1/4 mile search.
Lucky we had a little bit of snow here and there.
786yards from the track on the On X maps on my phone
I guess I should say big body deer but it has small 8 point rack .
3/3 with eye gaurds.

 

[HighlandLofts]

786 yards is .447 miles. So it went just under half a mile before it expired.
Longest I've ever seen a lung shot deer go. Lucky we had that little bit of snow to track it.

Sunday the 2nd about 15 minutes into legal shooting time this guy wandered in.
