Sept. 20 elk photo trip
« on: October 12, 2008, 08:35:33 PM »
Bow hunting was really slow, the elk weren't really rutting around here. So during the middle of bow season, Ricochet, a friend from another forum, and I went on a little photo trip to take some pics. of Roosevelt elk.   Had a really good time, took around 900 pics. in the 2 days we were there, saw between 35 and 40 different bulls.   Here are a few of the pics. I took.

Very cool indeed.  My coworker keeps joking with me to take a camera when I hunt so I can "shoot" a photo of all the ones that get away.

Funny, I did the same thing Cameraguy.  I left my bowhunt early and went to Yellowstone to shoot rutting bulls.  I think I had more fun shooting pictures than arrows at the elk.  Can't wait to shoot huge rutting mulies this year...

Insanely nice photos, and I am with Pope, that grass one is Very cool.  We must be somewhat different, as I skipped deer hunting to go look for moose pics.  LOL  I am envious of those guys coming down to shoot with you.  I be tthat will be a fun trip.
