Never mind that this looks totally photoshopped, just consider the guy’s reaction when he got home and finally pulled the photo off his camera.

This one made the rounds in ’09. Hunter Al Klassen took this bull elk in the Yukon on September 25, 2009. Elk were relocated from Elk Island National Park in Alberta back in the 1950s and 2009 was the first year they were hunted. Fifteen permits were drawn for the Takhini herd. Klassen has been [...]

Doubletougher Bubba Enget forwarded these photos of Vent Wallace and friends with a fantastic bull he harvested in North Dakota back in ’07. It’s only April and already we’re thinking about the upcoming season! Hey, if I can get up there before the cold and snow rolls in, book it! See more photos after the [...]

Elk hunting in the Rockies is no Sunday drive and definitely lives up to the saying, the work begins when you down your animal. These undated photos (pre-’06) tell a story that goes well beyond that concept. The photos give a great idea of the situation: hunter shoots trophy bull elk, elk falls off cliff, [...]

During a hunting trip to North Dakota last fall I met quite a few characters, many of whom I recognized from emails shared among this group of friends. One of these was Terry Doll of Mandan, ND. A childhood friend of Doubletough contributor Bubba Enget, Terry at one point offered to be my “translator”, since [...]

Don’t know anything about this one but the email said “540 class”. He’s a hoss alright, but I’m a bit skeptical on it going 540. According to Boone and Crockett, the largest non-typical elk came in at 478 5/8 (2008, Denny Austad, Piute County, Utah). For that matter, the largest typical elk was 442 5/8 [...]

Beyond the Tred Barta appeal of bowhunting, getting up close & personal to game ranks at the top for folks who choose to leave their rifle in the gun cabinet. Some bowhunters refuse to take shots at distances greater than 40 yards, for fear of something unexpected happening resulting in an injured animal instead of [...]

I’m leaving White Earth, North Dakota today for Colorado Springs. Quite the traveler this past week, driving my F350 with fifth wheel in tow from Wilmington, North Carolina to North Dakota, now Colorado and back home at the end of the week. Yup, I said driving. Love the blue highways, not the big interstates and [...]

Three-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier KC Jones isn’t new to hunting – far from it. When he’s not leaping from his horse at 30mph to latch on to a steer and wrestle it to the ground, there’s a good chance he’s in mountains of Colorado after elk and other game. ”I love to get up [...]

This report came in from Bill “Bearpaw / Bathgate” Groom of Minnesota: while booking a snowmobile trip at Togwotee Lodge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, he asked about elk activity. The guy on the other end of the phone told him the story of this bull he had arrowed just a few days earlier. After a [...]
