I just got home from out of the bush for one day headed back in tomorrow.
Can't find Mr big :icon_frow I did find one that was to small to shoot when I was set up in my ground blind.
This bull was shot with my camera a couple days ago at 40 yards.
I shot a nice 5x5 yesterday morning with my JVC movie camera will post the link latter today.
This bull is licking my salt lick I have been baiting for over 6 weeks..
I will head down to the place I saw that big 7x7 bull elk in bow season for the remainder of the 4 day elk season.
I might get lucky and find him ???? ,I will sleep in my truck that is my spike camp as I have done all elk season off and on.
I will take with me a couple coolers full of food water etc.

Brent I agree you are right if I see a keeper I will drop it for the meat :wink:..
Am I seeing something, like a 4" tine kicking down, just above the bulls left eye.....making that a legal 5x6????

Mark yes of course this is a 5x6 I watched him 50 yards from me for 5 min while he was licking up my salt he posed in all different position's for me ,that secount gard up on the left antler is about 9 inches long ,its just the way he is angled..
I zoomed in to take this picture with my camera only took the one pic because I was scared of he noticing me ,wind was coming right into my face from where this bull was licking the salt...
If I wanted this bull he would for sure be on the ground dead as 4 others that I could of shot but let walk this year ,the count now is 5 legal bulls I let walk this year..
Not what I am looking for like I said I shot enough elk over my years and with little time I have left to hunt elk I want to better my biggest bull I took 16 years ago if I don't it don't matter one bit.
They all can walk till I find the one and if not i have had a blast letting legal bulls go this year ,it has been one big pill of fun looking for the one I want this year ,I have been in elk heaven http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif..
Headed back into my area for the rest of the elk season right now ,talk latter Mark good luck with you mule hunts this fall..
Good luck Wayne hope you connect during the remainder of the season.

I was wondering if you meant not "big enough" for your standards???
It must be awesome to see enough elk to be selective with them!
One day I hope, most years IM just glad to find a legal bull!
Me and my partners are 3 for 3 on elk now, 2 absolute pigs, threads coming soon, just waiting for a couple of other pics to get here!
Hope you get your dream bull in the coming days Wayne!
