There are a couple bulls the same on here, but most are different. I got drawn for a modern bull tag in Peaches starting Oct. 22nd and this is part of my scouting. It would be great to see one of these during my season!

Wow. That's awesome! Good luck with the tag!

Thanks for the support, it has been fun so far. This is my first bull tag, so I have rarely ever done any scouting before the season. I usually just go to my usual spot and sit. Pretty boring.

I was thinking that the 1st, 2nd and the 5th picture are of the same bull. His body looks like a horse. The rest seem to have differences in their antlers.

Drop some apples, grain and trace minerals & salt on your camera and try to keep them coming into there until Oct 22!!! good luck that is a nice bull well two bulls

Thanks for the hint hunterrcc, I am heading up there this Wed. and I will take some apples. All of these pictures were taken with a deer block of corn and molasses. I don't have one picture of an elk eating it. they might sniff it but usually just walk by. This last time I put out a small salt block but haven't checked the camera since. I wish that I had started earlier with something that they like, to try and keep them coming back.

I let this camera soak for a week and a half this last time and all I got was one cow and a bear for a couple of days. Do bears scare away elk? I am really disappointed, my bull tag opens up in 4 days and I thought I had the spot.

Any luck Greenhorn?

Well, I kept telling myself "Don't shoot the first bull you see" unless it is one of these big ones. Well guess what?

I had told myself I was going to sit in my spot for 12 days straight to get one of these and I only lasted one day. Hadn't had a bull on the camera for two weeks. Only saw a bird the first day. The second day, chased after some other elk we had been watching and shot the first bull that I saw and he was 360 yds away and not nearly as big.

I wish I could bring that bullet back. That evening (Tuesday) after packing my elk out I went to get my camera and watched 4 cows and one of these big bulls walk through my little meadow, 200 yds away!

Nice bull either way man congrats!! With as many tags as they are giving away in that unit now adays, you will draw again and kill a toad!

X-Force · « **Reply #18 on:** October 24, 2012, 04:54:30 PM »

Thats a better bull then a lot of guys get in there life time. No shame there. Congrats

This is the final bull of the season before I pulled my camera for good. I also included a cow with a collar #199 it looks like and a human that searched around that area for 10 minutes but never found my camera. He was not armed except for a gps of some sort, bear spray on his belt and binoculars. He might have been working instead of scouting.
