After a lifetime of hunting deer, Jimmy Smith of RV Wheel Life bagged his first elk in early November–fulfilling a top item on his Bucket List.
Jimmy reports he shot the five-point bull at 275 yards through its heart. “It dropped on the spot,” he said. The bull was taken in the high desert region of eastern Oregon.

Being in an RV what will you do with all the meat from the elk?

Thanks Jan, that is a good question. I’ve asked Jimmy to answer your question. “After a lifetime of having all the freezer space for anything I might bring home this RV life has invited a different approach to putting food up for the winter. I now have two big pressure canners that I have been preserving venison in, as well as, tuna. Elk will be next. Luckily I have a place to store things here in Oregon where we are based.” — Jimmy Smith
