310+ Roosevelt Elk
How common is such animal? Trying to do an event mission and can't find one even close to this number. I look up my statistics and biggest I ever harvested was only 353 (from 237 elks). That doesn't look particularly good. Am I just unlucky here?

You must be hunting Red Feather? Most of the big elk have moved away.

Re: 310+ Roosevelt Elk
One minute after I wrote my post I did harvested a 309.88 Elk. So I see it's at least possible. Also, I hate RNG.ronMctube wrote:310 bull elk isnt that hard to find. try looking on youtube i have a elk guide. a lead bull of a group or lone will complete the objective.herajika wrote:How common is such animal?

Yes. I'm not a fan of white heart island. But if I wouldn't have much luck here, I probably would have to switch to it anyway.OldMtnMan wrote:You must be hunting Red Feather? Most of the big elk have moved away.

More common than the golden egg

Re: 310+ Roosevelt Elk
I'm not a fan of Whitehart either. I like the mountains. I kind of gave up on RFF because of what happened to the elk. RME are what I hunted for in real hunting, so I stay on Timbergold. The elk are much bigger. Not in weight but in score.herajika wrote:Yes. I'm not a fan of white heart island.

It's a shame too because I love Red Feather the best for a map. The terrain is just what I like and reminds me of my home state. Put the RME on Red Feather and i'd never hunt anywhere else.

Re: 310+ Roosevelt Elk
Not any more Ron. In the old days if you found a 500kg top weight on a track, it was almost 100% 350+. Now huge track weights mean nothing. Yesterday, 440-490 scored 294. 300+ RE are rare these days on any map. Unless you are a newbie who hunts 1 hour for the first time in 2 months and harvests a 414 .ronMctube wrote:310 bull elk isnt that hard to find. try looking on youtube i have a elk guide. a lead bull of a group or lone will complete the objective.herajika wrote:How common is such animal?

Re: 310+ Roosevelt Elk
I agree that comps about heaviest weight is pure luck.
