H20hunter and I checked cams yesterday got decent 7x7 in on one camera.  He'd be a good last day bull :chuckle:

 :hello:  Saw the same bull I was chasing last year, he's put on some inches.  Hopefully those new Phelps calls I ordered will help seal the deal this year.

I think most big boys are starting to dry up and by mid August velvet will be coming off.

Found a couple in the Lewis River unit that will probably be long gone by 9/3, 1 of my co-workers had a herd of 23 elk in her backyard in Woodland this morning that included 1 legal bull, she doesn't think the neighbors would appreciate me setting up a tree stand in her apple trees. :chuckle:
