Nice Bull there Bill.
Nice looking shooting-stick too.

People either have a business rifle, or they need one.
(Remember the old Good Year Eagle GT tire commercial? That slogan is perfect for the business rifle as it applies to hunting)

Your right it does look pretty skinny..I wonder if it has that CWD like deer get out in that area

But still he got an Elk and you can't fault that none..We have elk here in PA now...

And a tid-bit that really surprised me was that buffalo were indigenous to Alaska as well at one time. The ones we have now were transplants from Canada.
Elk have been also transplanted on Afognak Island and are doing well. I think this would be a fun hunt to make. I have two friends that go every year and they always get elk because they know where they hang out. MD


From what I have read about elk hunting on Afognak, it sounds like one of those affairs where you will want to know where the elk are, and where some of the biggest brown bears on the face of the earth aren't!
