Good sign.......

My brother Wapitihunter called last night said he was looking at 11 bulls off Meridian on his way home last night, 9 spikes a 5x5 and a 6x6! That message made my mood lighter, especially with all the negative talk about the tribes......

[yelp]

Good news for sure...

[fc2038]

Yea down the road from my place 3 spikes and a 6X6 have been visiting, along with a bunch of cows

[littlebuf]

ive seen the same 5x5 hangin out with a spike the last three times up in the woods,and the weekend before that i saw a big ole 6x6

Shut up all of you, stop teasing me.  My family owns a ranch in Eatonville and it's enough temptation as it is to want to hunt over there without y'all talking about big bull elk all over the place.  This year I have a good chance of drawing my Peaches Tag.  My mind is like a game of pong gong from one thought to another.

Dont advertise it, those who eat an elk a month and overharvest may decide to hunt your herd....

[WAPITIHUNTER]

The 6x6 was a KEEPER! I took some pictures but the are from a about 400 yards or so. I will try and get them posted tonight. I have seen Elk in this field before but seeing all them bulls together was just awesome!

[colockumelk]

Oh yeah well I went coyote hunting this weekend and saw 150 elk.  One was a 3x3, 4 were spikes and one was a 1x2 that had antlers like a mule deer.

I will note that the cows were smart but the "bachelor" herd was dumber than a box of rocks.  They were bedded in the middle of a dirt field and watched us walk by them.  About thirty yards away they got up and walked off.  But not before stopping ever twenty yards to watch us.  Then I swear wherever we went they seemed to follow us and would then move off.  Just to bump into us again. 

When those genes entered the gene pool the life guard must have been passed out.

Well here are some crude pic's of them Elk. The 6 power zoom on my little camera was just not enough to reach out there. The Big 6x6 was laying on the ground by the big fir tree with his head flat to the ground. He was ontop of the hill with a 360 degree view. Smart old boy.

[colockumelk]

Dude I think I know exactly where that's at.  That is so awsome thanks for sharing those pics.  Got my blood going.  Crap we still have 6 and ahalf months to go.  Tic, toc, tic, toc, tic, toc. 

[deerslyr]

haha I know rite where that is to. Theres some whoppers off of 304th too...and i mite have some land to hunt real close to there 

[TheHunt]

WHen it comes to hunting them they will be all spread out.   Cool pic's.  I saw them when I drove to my mother and father in laws house.

[huntnphool]

Lets see, 11 off of Meridian, some whoppers off of 304th, you guys may as well give those that kill this time of year GPS coordinates.

[ICEMAN]

No one listens to me.

[WAPITIHUNTER]

If they kill in those areas they will be strung up. 100% private property with lots of eyeballs around. They have never done it in these areas before, that I know of, and that's the reason.

It would probably be about like pulling up to a refuge viewing area with 20 people watching and start blasting elk.

I suppose there are some that are so bold.
