Of course it's a crappy bottom-corner shot... taken 5/11. Doesn't look quite right to be an elk...or a deer.

Im gonna have to say elk just by how the brow tines are starting.

scottcrb · « **Reply #5 on:** July 11, 2012, 12:16:10 PM »

i think moose

Mr Mykiss · « **Reply #6 on:** July 11, 2012, 12:17:41 PM »

Really you think it's a moose? WEH, you seem pretty convinced...why? I do kinda agree with you. In the Blues.

washelkhunter · « **Reply #7 on:** July 11, 2012, 12:22:32 PM »

the razor back stance to the hair sez moose. the lack of dark hair on the top of the head. the way the antlers are already palmating sez moose. you can see the coarse texture of the hide? and the bug out eyes sez moose.

Yep, it's definitely a squatch.

BULLBLASTER · « **Reply #9 on:** July 11, 2012, 01:04:44 PM »

I would say elk... not dark enough for a moose. And doesn't have the big shoulder hump of a moose. There antlers also grow more out than up.

Thats an elk.

Which would mean you might as well move to a new area because all your elk and deer will be dead!

Looks like a moose to me. moose

washelkhunter · « **Reply #14 on:** July 11, 2012, 01:37:45 PM »

After looking at a whole lot of pics i gotta switch and say elk. Moose antlers seem to grow straight out the side of their skulls uniformly. Color had me fooled. Thats a light one.

MtnMuley · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2012, 04:14:48 PM »

Definately an elk.

It's a moose. Those are not elk horns.

mfswallace · « **Reply #21 on:** July 12, 2012, 08:20:11 PM »

Moose, there is the start of a hump and the right shovel looks like a well shovel start

Turner89 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 12, 2012, 08:30:50 PM »

Moose.... unless it's an elk!

BOWHUNTER45 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 12, 2012, 08:58:43 PM »

I think it is a moose ....color just does not seem like an elk

I don't think they are moose "horns" either.....

Other than that, I don't know....

BowBender87 · « **Reply #28 on:** July 13, 2012, 05:10:25 AM »

I think elk...as stated before moose antlers grow straight out and these appear to be growing upward

BowBender87 · « **Reply #29 on:** July 13, 2012, 05:14:22 AM »

or maybe there are red stags in the blues

nwwanderer · « **Reply #30 on:** July 13, 2012, 05:48:05 AM »

Keep your camera close, that strange little bump of a point on the left side should give you positive ID later.

Mr Mykiss · « **Reply #31 on:** July 13, 2012, 07:56:23 AM »

Camera is getting moved to the Oregon side of the Blues to track branched antlered ELK that I can actually shoot!! So as far as this critter is concerned the world may never know...

BULLBLASTER · « **Reply #32 on:** July 13, 2012, 09:18:19 AM »

That is an elk... you see starts to brow tines and the tallest portion is the growing beam. No large hump on shoulder and moose are dark brown almost black... elk are tan. Moose antlers grow straight out the sides as well (previously stated) the unevenness on the coat is the remaining winter coat shedding.

BULLBLASTER · « **Reply #33 on:** July 13, 2012, 09:22:23 AM »

This is what moose look like... stolen from huntnnw trail cam pic thread.

Mr Mykiss · « **Reply #34 on:** July 13, 2012, 06:17:58 PM »

Stands to reason that it's an elk. I had 1800 pictures and the majority of them were raghorns just starting to grow (April-June) and smaller bulls. I think it just looked so different because it was a funny angle.
