Hunting

[Jerchambers]

4 Days and approximately 400 miles later.. I had no problems with The Hulk. He ran fine and went up and down all the hills and through the mud like a champ. I did get a cow elk as well.. But that was on foot.

Looks like too much fun!!!

It was fun but it did get a little hairy on some of the roads after the thaw.

 

[Cleptomaniac]

50 cal for deer? Are you nuts?

 

[IdahoPlowboy]

I bet it is a black powder rifle.

I would think he's talking about a muzzleloader not the 50 BMG.

Oh, yeah... I'm an idiot.
Quite embarassing considering I was deer hunting with my .50 black powder rifle out yesterday morning. I guess .50 makes me think .50BMG by default for some reason. HAH!

I recognize that Colorado goo!Did you have to chain up for the mud?It does not take much grade to be sliding all over the place in that stuff.Ask me how I know.

What did your ELK weigh? It sure brings back some memories of fun times when looking at the pics,,,,,,,,,,been there done that with an M-37 with a M101 camper. Had to do some winching to get back out after a hard snow fall and the mud gets very slippery.

Thanks for the replies... To answer your question Truck1, no I didn't have chains. I wish I did in some spots but my experience with the CUCV and driving it when I was in the Army helped me keeping from getting stuck. And to Kasper we estimated somewhere between 500-600lbs. She was pretty big and healthy. We packed out a total of 185lbs. 60lbs of steak and 40lbs hamburger, 3lbs sausage.
All in all a great hunt.
