Wilderness Hunting Lodge TN USA

With all the exciting hunting discussions in this forum, my 2 cents worth is that 3-friends and I are finally going on our long-ago planned hog and cow elk hunt at the above-noted game ranch in central Tennessee Thanksgiving week. My 300 win mag rifle is sighted-in at 100-yards with hand-loaded Lapua Mega 185-grain bullets chronographed at just over 2,900 fps. I do have my "official" African shooting sticks which I have practiced with instead of spending all my time at the bench. Rain is in the forecast and I am well-Gortexed. I will write up a report of my humble little trip that will hopefully not say that I missed a shot!

Hunt Report: The place was great, the food plain, but tasty and plentiful, the staff was friendly, the head guide (Lynn) was accommodating beyond measure, and the prices fair. I took a small cow "meat" elk on a day of slashing, sandblasting, sidewise rain. One 100-yard shot, instant drop, one kill! From reading about hunting buffalo in herds, I learned to wait for a shot where the exiting bullet would not buy me a second elk; thanks, all, for the money-saving advice. This is the proud, damp, and chilly hunter. Also took a small "meat" hog. The rest of the guys in our party of four took large hogs.

Elk mushroom patties (per recipe from Minnesota Elk Breeders) were incredible! Enjoyed with mashed potatoes and peas. No gamey taste whatsoever.
