Man these are some of my all time favorite Boneaddict photos!  It may be due to I have elk on the brain and just saw a nice herd with a big bull bugling and some nice satellites in my hunting area.  Frickin sweet Bone!!!

You need to send some of those into the RMEF for an upcoming Bugle Magazine.  Great pics!  I always say draw when their head goes behind a tree.  In this case draw and shoot when he goes under water!

You guys might have seen how I blew this stalk.  Lil Bone posted a pic of it in  "inthe background" I think.  I'll go steal it and pos tit here.  I kicked a damn blue heron out on the side of the river and it flew right over his head.  Made him drop his chew and head for the trees.  I stood there with my mouth open instead of snapping pics, but Lil bone nailed one.  I have to admit, it was unbelievable to watch.  

I wish Longtat!

I think I'd have dropped my chew too if one of those flew between my antlers.  Nice capture Lil Bone.

Great pics.  I just picked up a new Nikon with 200mm lense.  I am going to start carrying it in the vehicle as I drive around.  Time to get some pics.

I think the shots are Bugle worthy... I would put them in there.  Excellent job!  I like the shot with his head raised and the grass and water hanging the best.

I'll send them some shots and see if they like them. Thanks guys for your compliments.     I hope to take alot more in the next two weeks.  I hope you guys are ready for some WASHINGTON action.  They may not be the best bulls in the west, but hopefully you'll like the local flavor.  I have a two week photo safari coming up and most of its local.  I might adventure as far as Idaho, but doubt it.
