Oak Creek

[boneaddict]

There are two fantastic bulls down in oak creek now.  I didn't take any pics, well maybe I took a couple of one of them when he was bedded down up on the flat now that I think about it.....anyway, they are two bulls that have been around for several years there and they just keep getting bigger.  One is a narrow bull with tremendous mass and size and the other is the big sweeping 8 point and his thirds are unreal this year.  I can get some pics for those that can't make it over, but the elk are coming in everyday.  LOTS of elk still up high though.

Why didnt you shoot him on your hunt?.......

[boneaddict]

He was in the Bethel unit, not Goose. By the way if you draw it I know where he spends his fall.

[WDFW-SUX]

yeah why hold out on pics.  We know they won't be as "natural" as must of yours but we love seeing the horns.

what are you part Indian Passion.

I'll get some Ridge.  We came through when the crowd was through the roof.  I'll get some for ya.

The sheep station has more than I have ever seen there.  Also a ton of sheep NOT at the station.  I think they should think about increasing some tags.  There are ALOT of sheep out there.

I just hope all this snow doesn't contribute to a winter kill off like the '96 winter did.

The winter of 96-97 was devasting to these units 356-360-342-352 etc and particularly the deer herds.

Most of the snow in this area is less than a foot deep and a light powder.  Most of the animals are at the feeding station now only by habit, not by need.

[boneaddict]

This guys thirds are frickin UNREAL!

[WAPITIHUNTER]

Yes, I think he is so big and old that the wind needs to be let out of his lungs. Preferably by an arrow.

Nice pic's Bone.

Everytime we are down there in the winter we go check out the elk and the rams, my kids are always impressed.

I make at least two trips a year.
Some times we will camp along the Yakima River (old river road) and go for a hike in the hills. Last year we watched a coyote chase  a couple of rams across the hill side. Unfortunatly i did not have my riffle with me, only my 40 cal. and no the rams did not get caught, they out smarted the yote's.
