Careful about painting conservation groups with a broad brush stroke, Steve. That's just not true https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

http://www.sierraclub.org/sierrasportsmen/

20% of their members identify themselves as hunters and anglers. As stated in their policies:

"Sport Hunting and Fishing -- Within both modified and natural ecosystems, the Sierra Club believes that acceptable management approaches include regulated periodic hunting and fishing when based on sufficient scientifically valid biological information and when consistent with all other management purposes and when necessary total protection of particular species or populations. Because national parks are set aside for the preservation of natural landscapes and wildlife, the Sierra Club is opposed to sport hunting in national parks and national monuments."

And yes, that is a beautiful rack.

conservation and habitat are one of my causes too. too bad all the conservation groups and efforts can't work together instead of fight each other for the last word

More stereotypes and broad generalizations - part of the problem....

Steve, Very impressive trophy. What did you do with the ivory teeth? Do you know the B&C green score?

Re: Colorado elk hunt
 

his ivorys were absolutely worn down to the gum line so we guessed him to be 9-10 years old. my taxidermist got the antlers late last night...hope to know the B&C green score this weekend.

here's a conservation shot, Ranier. I watched this 400" class bull for 15 minutes as he bugled and approached the 10-11 cows that were with that bull I bagged.

Looks like some well deserved "me" time Steve. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Colorado elk hunt
 

I wouldn't have been able to hold off on that 400" bull - he'd have gone down if I could have held my .30-06 steady enough! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
