Looks like elk top sirloin for dinner?

I learned to drive in a 78 k2500 that was known as bullethole do to being shot through. three men in the cab two in the bed. no men more than 12" from the bullet. No direct hits. One man got some lead splatter in the face. just needed some band aids. Ill try to find some pics, if there is a hunting pic with a truck in it, it will be a chev of some sort.

Well I did not have much luck this year. I did get this buck, but the blazer was at home, opted for the jeep instead. I will see if I have any hunting out of my 72 blazer... Also have 2nd season tags comming up. Camper is getting loaded and dropped off tomorrow. I have a cow tag, my wife has a bull and cow tag...

My first archery deer this year in WY. I had the jeep, but normally would have had my 72 blazer...


My wife last winter one a late rabbit hunt. Pretty good creek crossing:


Checking traps with the wife and daughter... Or maybe we were setting, can't remember...


My wife 7 months pregnant trying to get in... We were yote hunting in WY:

You can hunt over the counter bull elk in most zones. Some limited exceptions. Deer is draw only.

We are heading out on Thursday. Second rifle here we come.

Weather forecast is looking better than last year. Looking like dry and mild. low 20's at night, 50's during the day. I am still taking all the rain gear after last year's experience.

How we used to bow hunt when I was a kid. I'm the youngster with the recurve taken in about 1969

[doodah man]

hooked a giant megalodon, but it wouldn't fit in the truck.

Nice photo tribute to these great old trucks. They fit in everywhere and can do it all. I love'em!
I didn't have my truck in the background but wanted to contribute. (l to r) A buddy from work, my son and I on a hog hunt. I'll include my truck next time.

^^^^Nice Boars. My tags are just waiting to be hooked onto one of those suckers. Kind of hard to get one here where I live.

This was taken in 2005 just before Brutis underwent his transformation. I'll always remember this time because I had just met what would become my wife.

Way to cool guys! I get to excited over these trucks plus adding hunting in the mix wow perfect dream life!

Here are some pics of my grandfather with a turkey that he killed. The pic on the left is about 1986 by his 78 that I still have now. The pic on the right is March 1974. In the background is his 71 shortbed that he bought new. I don't have that truck but I saw that truck still driving around my town about 2 years ago, but I still have not been able to find it. But I will...

[coloradosean2009]

Here are a couple of pics from this season. The weather started out nice and warm. Then we saw a little fall dusting. Murphy's '71 performed excellent. I think she prefers 9" of snow and mud over pavement.

Unfortunately, we did not bag an animal. It was not for a lack of trying, I can say that.

If you live within a three or four hour drive to elk hunt, and you have all the gear, how much does the actual weekend cost?
Let's say you went camping for 3-4 days.
What's the expected expense?

I'm trying to figure what a hobby or sport such as a weekend hunting for elk might cost.
And then I'm comparing that to our hobby of fixing up a classic truck.
For example; If I have $2500 into my truck, and I can only get $1500, did I really lose money? Yes, it cost me money, but it's a hobby. Something I enjoy; like going hunting - which also costs me money.
I may go all weekend and get nothing. So all I have from the trip was a good time out doors. And I would think many are fine with that.

Like the commercial says "Priceless". Sitting around the fire (It got down to about 2 degrees that night) BS'ing about the day, drinking a 12 pack and being with friends; sure beats a day at the office. Yes, the toys for boys are expensive. Most entertainment is. Supposedly, it gets less expensive each year. I own most of the equipment (NOW) and Gertie (My '71) is running pretty well. She needs a paint job, but she is a working off road queen. I love when guys ask me, "Did you drive that back here?" Well, I sure didn't carry it. Will I do it again this year, "Yep!"
So, Here's to the "Fall Classic" and making a statement while driving an old classic while hunting. May you fill your tags, but if you don't just enjoy the outdoors and life.

That picture does not do the fire justice. We burned the better part of 1/2 cord of mixed hardwood and pine that night. Flames were close to 30 feet tall at one point. It was fun to build such a big fire, considering that in Colorado the forest is usually a tinder box and fires are normally banned. After a 3 foot snow dump, starting the forest on fire was the least of our worries.
