My first elk. Opening day in Sask.
- Thread starter duncansuds
- Start date
I'm just heading out to Grand Prairie today
This is more of a prep trip then hunting I'm hoping to get to know some of the farmers around Grand Prairie maybe do some chores in exchange for hunting axis
A big bull would be nice but I will be happy with any elk
Any one know a good Butcher in Grand Prairie ,fingers cross Lol

Are you a bc resident or alberta resident
Neither I'm a resident of Haida Gwaii
I'm hunting Alberta just because that's where work is
The last four years I have miss hunting season altogether due to working in Alberta
And of course coming on here it's been torture haha
BEAUTIFUL bull!!!! I applied this year in ontario, maybe when i'm 50 i'll draw a tag! (20 currently lmao ) It is my dream to hunt an elk! a few places around me have elk , bought some to try fell in love and have spent alot on elk meat... at like $50/kilo it adds up for a few dinners. Sounds like it was a great hunt, very interesting you were able to recover the projectile's , out of my 1 deer I have shot with a 7.62x39 (it dropped instantly 100 yards) i found lead shrapnel in the heart and lungs but the copper projectile went through sadly otherwise it would make a great keepsake! as with your case especially being an opening day a swell! Did you butcher it yourself or take it somewhere ?

Congrats! Nice shooting! Good eating and as a bonus includes ivory which I always remove-
Oh man does that bring back memories of my dad...he had a tobacco tin half full of elk ivory when I was a kid...hunting was good...
Except in SK we're required to wear colors for rifle hunting, unless something changed.
Very nice bull indeed! I'm heading out in a couple of days looking to fill my cow/calf elk tag. I have a sneaking suspicion it won't go quite as easily as your hunt did Duncan!
