So I finally had the chance to get out and scout a little more and check the cams. Beautiful day in the mountains. Getting out this time of year gets me fired up for the upcoming season.
The camera that had all the cows and calves last time had more of the same. There is a good sized herd or herds is this area. Still no good bulls, but not too concerned about that. With that many cows, there is sure to be a bull or two around in a couple weeks. This camera has pics every day.
The other camera is still producing bulls. Some of the smaller bulls are still around, as well as the bull with the long g4's( I've named him the g4 bull). He comes in about once a week and has a 5pt for a sidekick. To my surprise, there are some new bulls too.
Enough yaking, lets get to the pics. Ill start with some smaller ones.

There's this guy. He seems like he may have the same genetics as the g4 bull.



Then this one.



This one showed up a couple days ago. Not a very good pic. I think he's camera shy



This is another new one. Short all over.



You all know this guy. I still get jittery when I see his 4's.





Now for the new kid in town

***Warning***Warning***Warning***
Viewing these pics may have the following side effects: Drooling, foaming at the mouth, uncontrolled cursing, elevated heart rate, inability to focus at work or at home, shaking, and insomnia. If any of these symptoms persist for more than 4hrs, it's ok, it's normal.

We'll start with just one side.



That's right. 7 points. Now both sides.



Your not seeing things, that's a split g5 making it an 8x7! Here's some more.





Look at his crazy mains! If you look closely, it looks like his 4 is split on this side.







Anyone care to guess the score?( not that I care, this bull gets an arrow the second I see it no matter what it scores)

There's one more that I can't find the pic of that has sweet fronts but short main beams. Ill post later if I find the pic.

It was a good day. I checked out a couple more spots that look promising. Can't have enough backup plans.
I will not go back into the area with all the bulls until opening day. Lets hope they stick around. If you thought I was excited before, now I'm gonna be useless until September. It can't come soon enough.

I'd probably pee a little if either of those 2 big boys show up in front of us.

Fanatic, this is going to have a nice ending!

BTW, no need to give up on elk when you go back east. Lots of guys drive to Colorado for archery....

Wishing you the best on this hunt.

Thanks! I hope it does. I'm actually going to Pennsylvania.  There's elk there, it just takes a lifetime to draw a tag.
Good luck :tup:
good luck to you too!

 :bash::Great pics and write up.  Good plan not going back in til the opener. We're doing the same, tho in our case it's cuz of fire closure.

I think that last bull is 350 and maybe 360. There's only one way to find out for sure.
