i am a new gang member and wish to say a big howdy to all of my new brothers and sisters.
i wanted to know if anyone else on here has ever hunted with an elk hide draped over you? i have two times now and have actually gotten pushed out of the way by cows feeding.this my fellow hunters is as real as it gets,VERY close elk encounters,only prob is i keep missing the bull as the hide gets in the way when i try to lay some longbow law down.any help much appreciated

Sounds a bit dangerous to me, as in being the hunted instead of the hunter!

and yes, please post pics!

Just a little advice...dont let a 700 lb "rutting" bull sneak up behind you !

having trouble loading pics from my digital to computer,pentax acdsee won't load.be patient, it consists of entire hide with ears,tail,leg skin (tanned) then i took sleeves off raincoat and had them sewn onto hide then you just put it on like a coat when you get into a herd then crouch over as you get close and use mouth reed, and yes don't turn your back on a bull (ow).

Be careful... I don't think I'd take a shot at you in the open, but the thick stuff I wander around it...well, cows are legal and a man has got to eat.

I have had shots at 5 yards or so and though I could not see the entire animal, identified it as a legal animal and made the shot. I would crap if someday I found you inside the hide...please be careful. Brian

no threat of seeing people where i go,very few ever venture up that far in the hills but if ya plug me then i'd prefer being slow roasted over open flame ok.lol...i'm having a hard time with the pics as someone erased my pentax acdsee program from my computer(wife i assume) now i've got to find my disk to load it again .hang in there boys .

well sorry to say my program disk has gone missing and i'll have to contact pentax for a new one.i am planning on filming this years eaglecaps hunt so you'll also see this in action and maybe even get a shot off at a bull i named toadster, if he's still alive that is (rifle hunters)i'll try getting pics put on disk then load them that way
