Elk in the back of pickups(2009)edition

[shedfinder]

Last year I started a post called Elk in the back of pickups. This year I thought I would start another one. Just post whatever pictures you have of elk in the back, top, or front of trucks or cars. Here are a few new ones I have this year.

 

[Schleppy]

I'll play, heres mine from this year.

 

[JDElec]

Here's my '09 didn't take a picture until I was already in my garage about to hoist him.

Here is my 2009 Bull

 

[overkill]

Here's mine but from 07...

 

[TripleK]

Oh that bull is awesome mtdream! More pics of it! More!

 

[born_2_hunt]

I cant believe how many fools dont quarter their elk up. They'd rather drag 400 or 500 lbs. of meat, bone and horns through the woods. It blows my mind!

 

[JACO]

Here's mine:

great pics guys, thanks for sharing.

 

[shedfinder]

Heres mine from 2007, and yes, that is a whole elk in the back of my truck. So Born 2 hunt, that doesn't make me a fool, it makes me lucky enough to shoot a bull I can drive my truck up too. With the help of a four-wheeler, and a couple guys, we had to drag it about 5 feet to get it in the truck.

7X8 415

 

[SneakAttack]

JDElec, not even gutted. Yikes, what that weigh?

 

[JDElec]

The picture doesn't show it but it is gutted with legs off at the knee's. I never weighed the bull until it was skinned with the head off the remainder weighed 411 at the butcher.

 

[JGT]

I love seeing bone sticking out of trucks this time of year. I break my neck on the freeway every time I see some. But the guy coming out of Provo canyon with two cows loaded on the back of his utv trailer. That doesn't look good to me. Don't people have a tarp?

 

[Hazmat]

Here's one I saw in Wellington...guy said it was off the Books.

[J22sting]

I have a cool one from a couple of years ago but have no idea how to post it.

 

[shedfinder]

If you have a photobucket account, download it to photobucket then copy the IMG code for that picture. Then paste it to the message board here on Monster Muleys. Or you can E-mail them to me at [email protected] and I will post them for you.

 

[Leftysbowman]

My neck still hurts from all of the rubber-necking this time of year!

 

[shedfinder]

Leica thats a cool pic. Good looking horse.

 

[LESGO54]

[2lumpy]

Don't want to start another thrashing of the event, just a look at a really large bull in the back of a pickup, as you requested. Maybe these showed up in last year's post but if not, enjoy.

[Bloomgren]

Some dandy bulls that is for sure! I hope you all also took some stellar field photos of your animals before getting them moved off! If not....what a shame! lol....

[2lumpy]

Thanks boss! Outstanding images. I'm betting you'll remember that hunt for long into the future.

[TheBoneCollector]

Thanks, we had a blast! There's nothing better than having a successful hunt with your good friends.

[NewMexicoRob]

Whats up with the 3rd bull to your right? He's head looks swollen! Great bulls by the way. Congrats!

>the way. Congrats!

No kidding!! I didn't even see that the first time I looked at the pictures but now that you mention it he's got something wrong there. Is that a Down Syndrome bull? WTF?? Please explain....

LBR

 

[camonick]

WTF.. BC did you guys scare the bull of the left to death, his eyes popped out.
Nice bulls what state? AZ or NM

 

[shedfinder]

They explain it in the post "Success 3days 3bulls" His head is not deformed, just bloated.

 

[TheBoneCollector]

Shedfinder,

You nailed it. My buddy killed it on Saturday and put in a plastic bag. We laughed our guts out with him holding that stinking bugged eyed bull.

 

[tesmitty]

There's nothing like putting an oven bag on your bull!

 

[JudgeRoyBean]

Here's a load of Cascade Bulls (Roosevelt) from Oregon a few years ago. Wet and nasty is all I can describe that day.

don't have any new ones but here are some old ones

this is the proper way to break in a new company truck

 

[rsjones65]

WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE ALOT OF THESE BULLS TAKEN FROM, THEY ARE FULL BODIED INCLUDING THE FEET, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD TO QUARTER AND PACK THEM OUT, THAT IS CRAZY THAT YOU CAN DRIVE THE TRUCK RIGHT TO THE KILL SIGHT AND LOAD IT RIGHT IN. GREAT LOOKING BULLS

 

[CAelknuts]

That's just because you don't know where to shoot elk. If you shoot them in the right place, you can load 'em whole!

 

[cmiddleton]

well the one on the bronco we had to quarter i didn't know moseley's back window didn't roll down it was a 25 yard pack.
the one inside the camper shell we took in two pieces it was 400 yards
the two in the company truck were shot with bows from lawn chairs and the farthest drag was 40 yards.
keep in mind my trucks never left the two track roads.
my cousin is 5 for 5 bull elk dropping within 20 yards of the roads.
the trick is we don't drive the roads after the 4th of July and hunt the area on foot but the 4 wheelers have recently found our spot and are beating them to dust bowls.
i hunted 25 days this year and never shot a elk they have ruined it.
i hate mapping gps's can't keep any where a secrete any more

 

[webfishr]

Father and son. I hate it when he gets the big one...

[MsDestiny]

Mine from Last Year... another Toyota... Had to bend it with a Big Ford to make it fit though LOL

Destiny

 

[shedfinder]

Heres another one

 

[BLooDTRaCKeR]

This is one I caught grazing in the back of my truck on the opener a few years back. I shot him from the cabin window, taped out at 502 4/8 B.C. You can't see his fifths very well but they are about 2 1/2 feet long. (couldn't fit them in the picture).

 

[ID_hunter27]

not the biggest but gotta start somewhere over a mile stalk in open grassland and i had a group of poeple watching me got within 70 yards thats my dad in the pic not me

 

[mlycrzy]

That was a good laugh bloodtracker!

 

[mlycrzy]

Utah Oak Creek bull! Its fun watching people pass by. You never know what expression you may get

 

[JDElec]

Here is my Wyoming Bull '09

Good year for me two '09 bull in back of truck posts Idaho and Wyoming

 

[Senjo99]

Here are a couple from Colorado.

 

[upmuley]

4 wheeler never left the trailer as it turned out but it made a good spot to put the elk!

 

[liecabucks]

I Really Really wish we coulda got a pick-up to these things but in all actuality we were lucky not having to pack them out on our backs! Oh and P.S. this is a good way to start a rodeo

Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high, keep your eyes fixed to where the trail meets the sky...

 

[treedagain]

alot of great bulls.....

 

[2lumpy]

Pre-spike only days. My son and good friends in 1985. Fishlake Unit.

 

[shedcrazy]

Man, all that orange sure takes me back to the old days for me. Looks like a good trip

 

[dutch]

yep me too! funny how times change, back than we just hunted for fun and meat.

Now everyone needs a quality tag for a record breaker. I remember camps every 300 yards it seemed, horse trailers lined up for 2 miles at trailheads.

Now you just don't see that. I have pictures when I was a kid and our pickups loaded to the hilt. Hooves was all you saw sticking up over the beds of them trucks. Deer, elk, bucks, bulls, cows does whatever. lol....of course there was always like 20 people in our hunting camps.

[Randy11]

Not pretty, but how it got home.

 

[oldmossback]

Randy, Dude, what happened??

 

[Randy11]

>Randy, Dude, what happened??

That's what happens when you kill your first bull five miles from the road in a burned area, and need to butcher and haul it out by yourself. Hauled the head, straps, and loins out on my back the night I killed it, and went back in the next day with the sled to haul the quarters out. Quarters got covered in ash the next day, but washed off nicely and didn't need too much trim work.
Here's how it looked on the hill.

Definitely going to take the time next year to bone the quarters and game bag it.

 

[oldmossback]

cool, but why did you skin the head kinda?

 

[JDElec]

now thats just a silly question

 

[huntinfanatic]

i think its a good question. im also curious, its only skinned partially so its not gonna be taxidermed.

 

[mr_c]

 

[Randy11]

>i think its a good question.

>gonna be taxidermed.

That's a lot of extra weight on your back, especially when you make sure you have all the neck meat and the last vertebrae cut off. Didn't bother with the patch around the horns because it was late and a pretty good storm was moving in, was ready to start hoofing it.

 

[mr_c]

good looking bull congrats,did you have your elk prosses ther place looks familier,back in nov,of 2006 and dec 2009 a brother of mine got jacked and shorted of his elk meat there

 

[canon]

Hey Mr C

Nice Bull. That thing is a pig. What did he score? I got lots of pics of that bull. Let me know what your email is and I can send them to you. you can post it or pm me.

 

[NVPete]

I'll throw in my 2cents.Here's one of my Dad with his bull from '99. Although the bull ran a ways before the clinching shot, they were able to drive right to the elk.Not a great bull, but a great hunt for all involved.
