cool pics, I've never seen a bull over there with a drop tine, pretty cool to see that.

Wonder when that calf was born, must have been REAL late, she's tiny.

Those are some cool pics thanks! At the Starky experimental forest in Oregon I think their study attributed late dropping calves to cows that mated with immature or spike bulls.

I hadn't seen the one with the dropper yet.  Thanks for the update.  A couple of those guys would have looked good with my tag on them

Benbo, the tags are animals that have had blood drawn or dna work.  The other leather collars are radio transmitters so the bio's can monitor the heards.

Yeah I shot a pretty small calf but at least it didn't have spots. Tell everybody about your Elk Wea300Mag.

Ya they are legal. If you shoot one you have to contact WDFW and turn in the radio collar, I think you can keep the other collars though.......... ??

They were in the unit just north of where you were ;). Most of them anyway.

Are you serious bankwalker? That elk really jumped on you? That is crazy :yike: :yike: :yike:
