I went to Oak Creek today, haven't been in about a month or so. No very many elk down there. Saw the 8x7 and a big 6x6. ONe old bull I think was about to die. I have a pic, but he just was laying there and not moving at all.
Heres the 8x7

One bull has already shed.

Big 6. Sorry had to crop this one.

Another.

Here is the bull I think is dying. He was laying like this when I got there. And he put his head up for a few seconds and then it just kinda dropped to the ground again. I couldn't see him breathing either. Sad to see such a nice bull go.

You captured some big boys there. I used to stop in there at least once a year but haven't for some time. Thanks for keeping me caught up

Do they let you pick up sheds there?

Someone posted a picture from there of a spotted calf. Is it still running around there or has anyone seen it lately?

I was up there last weekend with the in-laws. Brother-in-law had never been there and wanted to show him before our great Gov. shuts the place down.Made a stop to see the sheep as well and counted 95 sheep. It was a good time aside from it snowing on us.

270-

did you see the cow that was missing the rear right leg below the knee?

Heres a spotted calf

And your cow

Gobble Gobble · « **Reply #11 on:** February 22, 2009, 09:21:31 PM »

I stand corrected its the rear left leg not right. Something tells me if it weren't for the feeding station that cow would not have survived the winter.

Actually there was one missing the right, and one missing the left.

The one missing the right rear leg was in bad shape, possibly busted up hips, hobbled real bad. the one missing the Left rear got around good.

Great pics

Gobble Gobble · « **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:44:01 AM »

The one I saw gimped pretty bad.

Any thought as to what could have taken the legs. Trap, coyote, cougar, bear...?

I would guess that the one that gimped bad was probably hit by a vehicle. She looked like she had been busted up pretty bad at one time. Just a W.A.G. though.

Last time I was there I must have missed those gimps. That one actually putting weight on the stub looks real bad!
