A bet….

[Ucsdryder]

Someone walks up to you in Cabelas on the way to elk camp…

“I bet you $5,000 you don’t kill a bull elk this year(spikes don’t count).” If you kill a bull you walk away with 10k, but tag soup costs you 5k!


Who’s confident that they’ll kill a bull this year? Of course this is for fun, so I don’t want to hear about how you wouldn’t want the pressure, etc. I’m curious who is REALLY confident and who plans on taking their bow for a walk in the woods!

I’ll be in a new unit rifle hunting, but I like my chances. I’m taking the bet. A bull is coming home with me this year.

There was a time when I had no limits and it was not whether I would shoot a bull, but more… how big and how many with 3 tags a year for 15 years…now being old and broken down I sadly can’t take the bet….good luck….

 

[Turkeygetpwnd38]

I’ll take that bet! *after season pic*

What do you get if you kill a bull, by the sheep, shot 51' from the road centerline, in shorts, in a season with several thousand tags, and get still get a pack out photo that makes you look backcountry certified and secures your pro deal?

 

[Geewhiz]

Sorry, had to.

I have a good run going, time off, wedding messing things up, but I’m still betting with house money.

During archery I've had opportunities every year out so I'd be pretty confident for "any bull 4-point and better". Rifle season, I'd never take that bet.

 

[Gerbdog]

nah... cant say i'd take the bet. I think ill have opportunities at ELK but... whether they will have antlers or not? cant say. Cant say what ill do if a cow presents at 20 yrds either. I say i wont now but.... in that moment..... Elk tastes awful good

I'd take the bet that my party (me and 1 buddy) would kill an elk this year. We have archery tags, but if we didn't kill I'd go back on OTC rifle to get it done.

Edit: I should say the statistics are against me. I have had 2 CO elk tags so far and have killed 2 elk (1 rifle, 1 archery).

i will take that bet.... i might ditch the recurve on that bet and grab the mach 1, but i would be stoked with that opportunity

No bet. I can’t ever lay off a big ol fat cow elk

 

[DawnPatrol]

Well success rate in my unit is 25%. Can I get 4:1 odds?

 

[Crowmangler]

no bueno on the bet.. bad juju

 

[magtech]

Yeah I'd take the bet. Would just hunt everyday of the season till I dropped one. Not to hard if you have the time.

I've already notched my tag for opening day of rifle, that's how confident I am.

I'd take the bet in a minute. I was fortunate to get a limited entry rifle tag and 8 days to fill it.

 

[FLATHEAD]

I'd just be glad I had an Elk tag. Havent seen one in 12 years.
