Jeff’s NM Elk was every bit as big and heavy as it looks—I should know he made me help carry it out 14 miles. Great story and magazine. The magazine costs $5.99 USA and $7.99 to our hunting brothers to the North.

Also, for clarification there were two Jeffs on the hunt—the one who harvested the elk, Jeff Sillivent, who hunted with Mark and the other one, Jeff Butler, who hunted with me.

[…] Editor’s Note: I first started this as just a Blog post about the big bulls of 2006. However, it started turning into something more and I ended up saving it for an article for our Hunting Illustrated Best of 2006 issue (April/May 2007). I have posted the whole article here, but have added some bonus photos and links within the article that will expound on even more information, photos and video making it even more of an in depth look at the biggest bull elk of 2006.

I have just prchased a 2008 500 polaris.
Are tire chains an added benefit for wet and snow/icy conditions.
Can chains safely be used on both front and rear tires.
Also, does it make sense to add weight to the front of the vehicle for climbing moutain terrain.
Thank you
