Very nice,isnt it now legal to kill one in any county during deer season?
Not quite. Any county except for the "core counties" of Anderson, Campbell, Scott, Claiborne and Morgan

They're getting close to Roane County. Anxiously waiting.

Probably never can go out west to hunt for Elk. I have MS and it is just too hard to do for me. I am planning on going out to Kansas to hunt mule deer this year! I own property there so it is legit.

muleys are my favorite but there's something special about the elk rut. I hunt Kansas for quail. Wish you the best of luck in the coming seasons.
Would be nice to draw a tag here, someday. But I still want to hunt in the West, next year.

Utah with MZ. He bugled the whole way in.
In actuality, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime event.

I see that's an elk but at a glance it seems to have a few moose characteristics too. Maybe it's just me. Palmation in antlers, dark color coat just in shade I suppose and almost a waddle (think that's right) under chin which is base of tree actually. Used to be a few elk seen there In almost downtown Clinton several years ago.When there was one in Anderson County a few days ago.
This is only the second one I've seen in the last four years, but it is pretty cool to have one on camera.

Nice Bull. Public land hunt?
You may be surprised. Don't know your current ability, but there are guides/outfitters that could handle any type disability, and probably even some trespass hunts that could be accommodating. Best of luck to you .

No, private property near Bear Lake. About 200yds from his property line with the National Forest.
I want to go back and do a cow elk hunt, as they absolutely hammer his hays rolls in the winter.

Love the Bear Lake area. Lived in SLC area for 20+ years. Have you heard about Hardware Ranch in the winter? Must see if you haven't…

I lived in Ogden for a long time before getting back home. We always wanted to do the sleigh ride at Hardware for the elk feeding.
Heading back to UT in a couple of weeks for pronghorn!

What state Thor?
South of Salida, Co around Villa Grove, Crestone & Saguach, they issue depredation permits that allow you to hunt elk with rifle starting in July/Aug. The elk pile off the mtns to feed in farmers irrigated alfalfa fields. Very similar to hunting deer on food plots. Permits are across the counter & doesn't count against your preference points if you have any. I can put you in touch with booking agent that works with a couple outfitters there if interested.
If you want a hard horn one & want to hear some bugling, book in late September
