This bull showed up on camera at our property. Give him a few years and he should be a dandy.

Don't get me wrong, he is a nice bull now and I would love to put an arrow through him but since I will never draw the tag, it would be cool to see him in a few years.

That’s a great bull. Destined to have weak 3rds no matter how old he gets.

I would shoot that one too.  Don't get me wrong, I can well see the difference but I just have a "good enough" size in my mind.

I didn't end up hanging a camera in that area again the following year because it went up in flames and left with just toothpick trees

Oh wow. I have never seen an elk that large. It almost looks like a cow. And imagine its size when the winter hair comes in thicker around the neck. Very impressive.
