The Elk Thread
Originally posted by DavidH44 View PostAfter trying to decide between Colorado and Idaho for my first elk hunt, I finally took the dive and bought an elk A tag for the Island Park zone in Idaho.

If anyone has any tips for this area, I'd appreciate it.
I’ll drive through Island Park en route to the Ennis area. I’m sure there’s griz there, but the Madison Range west of Yellowstone has lots of ‘em, as does the Gravelies.
Tips for first time elk hunter? Do not look at the antlers as you’re drawing your bow. 100% focus on your shooting spot. Aim small, miss small.
The size of their racks can mess up your concentration and shooting.

I have a question on elk meat care. I've read that you can use dry ice in cooler for travel but that will freeze meat. Is it ok to defrost later and process and then refreeze? I would like to get meat back to DFW and take to Cinnamon Creek Processing. Other option is to take to processor in New Mexico, they can do a 24 hour turn around but not sure of quality of work
