This bull I am saving for blacktailstalker to small for me to shoot ,the wolf is his also that I will post shortly.
Here ar a few clips of 5x6 and 6x6 elk that I filmed over the last day ,I did not shoot these bulls because I am holding out for Mr Big like I said earlier in a different post that I am holding out for a 320+bull elk.
I got a small clip of Arkey my old friend he is 88 years young in this clip ,he is staying in a tent for the next 4 weeks..

I'd say you've done your homework...any chance you want to let me cheat off you ;)
What kind of a timber type are you finding the bulls in? Looks like D.Fir + Pine + Larch? hard rocky soil with grasses?? You sure have some patience :)
You know what really sucks? I was sitting with Wayne in the same spot he video taped the 6X6 and the 5X6 only the night before and never saw a fricken thing.:confused:
Oh well we had a great trip just the same and saw a few animals, hopefully next time we connect. Quick learning curve that's for sure.

You bet he has. Thats the joys of being retired and living there..
Good teaser vids Wayne, keep them coming..:-D
Unbelievable Wayne, I'm sure your patience will pay off. Thanks for sharing.
Wow thats unreal, i only live 20 kms away feel free to take me to the elk ;)
Good luck finding the right one

Nice work Wayne, I'm sure BTS won't have a problem out there with you. But that wolf had better look out ;)

Yeah thats a gooder Wayner but you know I'll be hitting a couple of my favorite places before I consider him ;)
I am bringing the fox pro so we can try and thin out some of those wolves in the afternoons.
Then its straight on to goats :cool:

hunter1947,
In the first few vids of the Elk across the canyon, how far do you estimate them to be from your position?
If you decided to that the bull was 320+ would you have taken the shot from there or stalk closer?
Cheers

Good for you Wayne. As you know you can't shoot a huge one if you shoot a big one first. You're into the elk. It'll happen.

The two elk I filmed my range finder found them to be out at 295 yards if one of the two was the bull I wanted he would be on the ground for sure ,Bang ,Bang..
If I just wanted any 6 point bull one of them would be in my freezer right now..

Is that the god-awful accent of that New Zealand gad-about I hear of from time-to-time ?(giving you advice about winter/summer coats on mulies) He did threaten to join you.
