Taking a breather. Sortof rare to have pictures mid-afternoon of a bull like this.

This picture and the following one are amusing. They are 1 day apart and they are 2 different elk but they are posed identically.

Same position, same angle... same everything but 1 day apart and its a different bull! Compare timestamps, look at the right side broken 3rd on the above pict.

Now we come to the "crazy twist" mentioned in the title. Looking at the picture its an extremely nice pict of a bruiser bull! Probably in the 350-360 range. Whats crazy is my wife had a cow elk tag and we heard elk bugling so we hiked up to the camera. As this bull was getting his picture taken we were 200 yards to the right of the camera watching it! We got to watch this one for a while. There was another bull behind the trees in the background, that one was bugling up a storm and we got to watch him for 10 minutes. It was amazing. My 6 year old boy was with us and his eyes were as big as saucers with all of the screaming going on around him. He is still stoked over it!

Truely magnificant, a bull of a lifetime... if you could ever draw a tag anyway.

Finally after watching the bulls bugle for 20-30 min a cow elk walked out in a clearing 150 yards away and my wife promptly put 2 165grn slugs into it from her '06.




Fun stuff!
