That's a BIG lookin' animal!
Nice kill!
-
Yep im pleased with it. My wifes uncle has a hunting lodge about 4 hours drive E of Montreal (near Roxton Falls) and he asked me to come over for a weekend. Could not say no to that :) Found my target just 10 mins after stepping out of his car. Antlers are beeing shipped over and going on the wall if the missus lets me and the meat went to a poor house in Montreal.

-
Wow! A picture of a hunted animal that doesn't have guts hanging out or a puddle of blood underneath! Thank you!
-
WoW! nice!
I share the roads with this creatures, next time go west are lots more,west of Calgary/Edmonton /Jasper on Transcanada hwy 1/16, you don't need a riffle just strong bumper and lack of attention.
-
good lookin elk sir. :aok
-
Didn't realize we still had those in that neck of the woods, all I ever see up there that size is moose. Wish they'd make it across the border and into the Adirondacks. :)
-
Lovely animal, congrats. Been awhile since I hunted Elk and I sure miss it. What rifle/Load ?
-
Not sure. Im not into guns that much and its a borrowed rifle. Browning something with 300 teflon ammo i belive.
-
WOW.
nice moose you got there! i had a friend gut-shot a doe last week and he let it sit overnight to bleed out. came back the next morning and found it picked clean right down to the bone by wolves. :lol

Someone should gut shoot your friend and let him bleed out.

i guess thats what my friend deserves for gut-shotting a deer. nothing but bones. but i think its a bit harsh to gut shot him for doing that to an animal your supposed to kill...

There's much I'd like to say but wont,BTW thats not a moose it's a Wapiti{cervus canadinsis] or otherwise known as Elk!
BTW. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Canada Nilsen! :aok

Browning A-bolt no doubt. I got one in .338 win mag, the ultimate Elk clobber'er.

:rolleyes:
Gut shots happen I've had a few on some whitetails. Not like you do it to torture the animal. If you don't let them lay there and bleed out, you just put them in more pain by jumping them up. Nice kill btw.

Kill being the key word.
As a hunter it is essential to make the kill quick.

Congrats on the Elk. And WTG on donating the meat, although in my oppinion Elk is the finest eating of all the Deer family, I would say that Moose comes next.

Now if only someone would start a nilsen hat thread...

:rofl after the bumper kill mount it on the wall of your home, then tell all your friends a story of how you tracked it down for the kill, as your lady tells the other girls the truth. lol seen this in a mad mag years ago.

it wasnt an intended gut shot. those do seem to happen by mistake i hope you know.
-
Love the forest scenery, looks fun Nilsen.

Yes they do.... your friend is no hunter. You don't leave the animal there to bleed out all night.
The guy is just ignorant.

... i hope to be back in the game this winter :)
:banana:

Whats that 17 points?
Hard to tell from the camera angle.
Nice mount by the looks :aok

NICE! Nilsen :aok
As far as gut shooting deer, you are either starving and took a shot you shouldn't of in the desperate hope of some food, or you are a fool and took a shot, you shouldn't of, or you are simply a bad shot and shouldn't be hunting without more practice. I did always consider rifle and shotgun deer season as amateur hour in the woods, I'd be willing to bet most never even sighted in at a range before heading out :rolleyes:

I have to disagree, gut shots happen to guys that are perfectly competent shooters. Especially if you hunt places like I do, and you have a scope that miraculously sees through tiny limbs. I do have to agree with your views on bow hunting though. :aok

Exactly! If your not sure, dont f****** shoot. A real hunter use his brain to think, not his balls. It's hunting season, not spray and pray season for god sake. I too know some decent shot that got plain miss or wounded the animal. The problem is not their aim. It's that they get nervous when the beast show up. Usually at the range your shooting casual and no pressure. Once in the field you got one shot. And lets say that a 700 pounds moose coming your way is pretty impressive. I once saw a big male break a 3 inch pine tree with his antlers. That's when I started to get the shake...
Nice animal your got there Nilsen. I didn't know there were wild elk in Quebec. There are none where I live. I'm quite a bit further north-east ('bout a 5 hours drive from Montreal).
Take a look at this. 2 guys in Quebec decided to play with a big male.

PupprtZ,
Several years ago the MNR took some western Elk and moved them east,we used to have a large population in the east but they were hunted to near extinction.There were only a few left in Algonquin park when they decided to move some out here from Alberta.
Since the move and lack of season they flourished and now they have a limited hunt like moose!
Nilsen is truely lucky because 25 years ago he wouldnt have seen an Elk if he hunted for weeks!!!
