I used to hunt whitetail deer but gave it up. Keep in mind, killing isn't the worst part. Gutting it is the worst part. You may literally be up to your elbows in bloody entrails removing them from the carcass. Plus they tend to have a lovely aroma. If you don't have an atv you will have to drag or carry it out of the woods by hand. Animals tend to drop dead in inconvenient spots, not next to your pick up.
If you just wound your prey you better be prepared to track it so you don't just leave it to die a slow painful death.
More than likely you will just freeze your ass off sitting motionless in the woods. Now you know why I quit hunting. Easier to go to the frozen meat section of the store.
I'm curious to know where you're from because as far as I know there aren't any elk in the Southern US. Maybe out west or someplace.

Camping, sure. Dirty, uhh ya hello. Hunting, no, I think that should only be done for survival, not sport.

True dat home bird *nods*
Initially I was only worried about the dirt and wetness but after reading the comments it's the killing part of the el khunt that's got me worried.
Thanks for the comment.
