Nice Walla Walla Bull

My wife and daughter came with me for an evening on the mountain, and we managed to find some critters with the video camera.  I spent nearly a half hour calling and watching... and the elk were chatting back.  Very fun evening.  Hope you enjoy.

Is that public ground?

Thanks for the vid! Nice bull, too bad his fronts don't make his backs on length.

Is that bull in the background just a spike 

[njc89]

Thanks guys.  This is private ground, though I wasn't 50 yards from the public road.  The bull in the background was a 1x2.  Pretty good size animal.

We stopped at a good looking area and started to call.  The elk started answering and eventually started coming out of the thickets.  The bull bugled, which is how I knew he was there, and to wait around for him to come out too.

What kind of camera do you use? and how far away were those elk?

[njc89]

Hi Ross,
The camera is a little HD Sony HDR-CX130.   If I remember right, it's a 20x optical zoom, with 42x extended zoom.  I think the elk were in the ballpark of 450 yards.  The whitetail was way off.  I only included that one because my dad and I have the late whitetail tags this year, and I wanted him to see it.
