Elk

[meddawg]

After missing my only shot last year. I shot a nice bull in the Gila National Forest the first morning of my hunt this year. It was awesome. Heard at least 5 or 6 bugling that morning before calling mine up just before 7am. Shot him at 7 yards. He never knew I was there. I now have a freezer full of elk meat. Anyone have some good recipes for elk steaks?

Trying to post some photos but imageshack won't any me to upload them.

Who were you hunting with? I killed a good bull in unit 16c in 2005. Very enjoyable place to hunt.

Black Range Outfitters. I was in 21A.

Is 21A near Winston? I hunted a cattle ranch that shared property lines with Gila. The bulls would come down out of the forest during rut onto this ranch. 21A just rings a bell in my mind.

As for steaks. I just marinated/seasoned mine and cooked on the grill like it was a filet. It's truly the best steaks I've ever eaten.

Cut the tenderloin into 3/4" thick slices and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Then put the steaks on a real hot griddle or black skillet. Cook for around a minute on each side for a rare steak. I also do fillets and duck breast this way. It will surprise you how good duck is this way. We tried it at camp one year thinking it was a waste of time. We cook duck breast at camp with breakfast like this all the time now.
