Elk out.

[Russ McDonald]

Been seeing elk every morning heading to work this last 2 weeks.  Also talked to the wild life biologist here at work at he saw 3 bulls up in the woods.  He said one was a 3x3 the other he said looked like a 5x5 in velvet.  Can't wait now for bow season.

the other he said looked like a 5x5 in velvet. 

Velvet that big already    I saw/heard a helicopter buzzing around above upper Greenwater(west fork white river) yesterday afternoon where I live, kept around the area for 20+ minutes... figured they could be counting elk? Heard anything about that?

Biggest bulls I've seen are only about 6inches tall 

That's gona be one heck of a bull

Yea I find that real hard to believe he saw a nice 5x5 in velvet.  Most just have nubbins right now!!!

Buddy of mine said yesterday while turkey hunting they saw 2 bulls that hadn't drop their horns yet.

  there are probably a few still running with hard antlers

He could have seen a cactus bull or something but I doubt he saw a 5x5 in velvet already.

Funny how they differ from bull to bull, I know of several branch bulls still packing

[Swatson]

But they're not in velvet!

But they're not in velvet!

Hence "still packing"

[Swatson]

hahaha no he said they were in velvet!

A WA state biologist would say it's a 5x5 in velvet  idiots.

A couple weekends ago on the peninsula I saw probably 6 or 7 branch bulls.  About half hadn't dropped and half were in velvet.

Every Bull up in Kapowsin I've seen in the last two weeks has nothing more than 10" fuzzy spikes on him!  Maybe he meant 5"x5"...Wouldn't surprise me!

I surely don't work for the state.  His is a fellow hunter like us all so I would hope he knows what he is looking at.

Thats what I asked him too but he said that they sure looked like they had velvet on.
