This year I drew every tag I put in for Pronghorn, Sandhill Crane, and Elk. It was also my first time putting in for crane! Better lucky than good they say. I was also lucky enough to fill all three tags an two filled using a flintlock. No I didn't get the crane with a flintlock, maybe if I draw it again tho! This was also my first year ever hunting with a flintlock. I've always hunted using percussion in previous years but have been shooting flintlock in rendezvous competitions lately and really enjoy it so I figured hunting is the next step. My Elk tag was for cow/calf around Saratoga WY. I dont usually hunt that far from home but my brother and his wife run a goat dairy down there now and have some awesome neighbors who allow us to hunt elk on their property. I went out with my brother the first morning of my stay and got within 175 yards of a small group but just couldn't close the distance. With a new game plan for the next morning I was able to get within 50 yards of this two year old calf. I would of liked a little more meat in the freezer but not complaining because it sure is tasty! I used a 54 caliber Jaeger built by Ed Anspach out of Ada Ohio in the early 70s no. 69. My father has harvested deer, pronghorn, and moose with it but never an elk so I was happy I could get er done!
whats that weird horn growing out of the back of its head??
