This Mornings Scouting

[Brambles]

Had a few hours this morning before the wife went to work so I woke up at 4am and went to find some animals, had a pretty good morning, they were'nt jumping out of the woodwork but had some fun

Glassing the alpine and slide shutes, just about to move on to the next opening when Lower on the mountainside I caught this out of the corner of my eye, put the bino's up and then the spotter and this is what I saw

Pretty good Bull, his third on his Left side grew a little funny and his 6th points are arched like they want to split for 7 but don't. I had to count him carefully because at first glance his 6th's look like 5th's.

Now that is worth getting up early for.
Nice Bull!

Shortly after the bull exited Stage Left, I spotted this guy feeding out into a slide shute. He bedded down in the sunshine and stayed there until I left.

About 20 minutes later I spotted this guy speeding across the alpine, he got caught out after sun up and was racing for the shade. Didn't get any other pictures but this one. He is a better buck with real good brow tines with better fronts than backs. He appeared to be just inside his ears but I didn't get a long enough look.

Nice deer ,I would take him on opening day if it were me.

Nice elk there, and I think that buck won't be too shabby either:)

[browningboy]

I would love to see an elk like that one this year when hunting for elk in the EK.

Hey Brambles, Nice animals!! That bull is a shooter in an open unit!

Funny, I was debating about heading up top this am too. What time did it get to be glassing light?

[Fisher-Dude]

That's a nice bull...should end up in 300 - 310 class.

[tufferthandug]

Nice shots. They sure are fattening up right now.

Good for you to get up and get after it!
You were well rewarded for your efforts.
That will get us all riled up, I will be bugling myself after seeing this.
Keep up the good work.

Brambles,
Great pics man. I love the looks of that bull. Wish I had some of those critters hanging in the high country around here. Maybe one day. We're starting to see them in the low ground.
