    Elk sighting




    I can’t upload a bigger picture for some reason. Saw today Between Lytton and Lillooet No bull and couldn’t tell if these dropped their antlers or not ,

    Re: Elk sighting

    That's great.
    I always wanted to hunt them, and knew of a couple of guys who did hunt them, and where to go/hike etc.
    But then they got hunted down illegally and the season was closed.
    All the times I have driven that route, I have yet to see them.

    Thanks for the post.
    And yes, when they were at their height in #'s, there were a few very respectable bulls in the pack.

    While LEH hunting for them in Jan And Feb I seen a few herds of 40 to 60 elks with a few males in the groups in Christian Valley/ hwy 33 corridor. Some locals even complained that they compete with deer for whatever available food there is. Quite a few males still sported antlers at that time.

    It's probably the stewards of the land who are poaching them....with that in mind, let's not give exact coordinates people, we don't want them to get wind of where they are, you never know....

    Elk dropping antlers? I'v seen Elk with their antlers still attached in the middle of Apr. while hunting Turkey around Creston, that said we saw Bulls that had dropped and had started to grow new antlers (a few inches of growth) on the same trip.

    Re: Elk sighting

    If you want to see a truly great set of Elk antlers, check out the Lillooet museum. They have a the antlers that were taken illegally off of Lytton Mountain years a go. Apparently the mayor of Lytton opened the season for hunting Elk a little early and never thought to think that there might more than one hunting party on the mountain before opening day.
