So i went to my favorite little deer spots monday night 11/14/11 where white tail bucks were open on the drive in saw a beautiful 4x4 muliie and then a nice 4x5 whitey both well after shooting light. I managed to put my self at the bottom of a hill where i knew the deer where coming off the top down to the field bellow when all of a sudden i heard a loud buggle behind me. I turned around as fast as I could to see a 6x6 bull standing broad side at 250yrds with 3 cows ahead of him and one trailling behind. Sorry no pic forgot the only camera i had (myphone) in the truck. So after not shooting anything but feeling very good about the new found occupants of my little honey hole i headed back home. On my way back through Osoyoos i found out that manning park was a blizzard so i decided to spend the night near princeton and do the morning hunt up copper mountian, where i heard there was the odd whitey kicking around. so hicked to the top of a mountian and slipped over the top to stumble on top of what i thought to be an amzing morning 59 elk, 9 were bulls. 1-6x6 2-5x5 2-other satalite bulls and 4-spikers. they were only 100yrds bellow me and couldnt care that i was there i sat down and watched them for 15-20min while they just grazed and slowly made there way around the mountian. all in all i didnt shoot anything on my 2 days off work but i did manage to see some cool animals in the 2 days.

Total anaimal count
64 elk
87 whiteys
