You betcha, Timber-  Those are "top drawer" captures right there!  This is a little piece of heaven looking through them.

Day four
Had good bull action all morning until 10:00. Unfortunately, I only got 1 pic. It's of the second best bull I've seen. The picture doesn't do him justice. He is wide and has good mass. I accidentally got right in on him before there was enough light for the camera. While I was hanging back waiting for more light, for some reason he ran by me and I was only able to snap one shot.




This afternoon there wasn't much bugling. I got one picture of the big bull from about 400 yds away just before dark.



Here are a few critters I shot while the elk action was slow.

Really enjoy the pictures.
Sparring bull in particular.  Thanks.

Awesome Timber.  I did the same thing twice this fall haveing the bull on me before light.  Frustrating.

Day five.
Woke up to a change in the weather - snow. Got some pics of a nice bull this morning. He was running around with his nose to the ground like a hound dog. Then I made a trip down to the Tetons. Saw some antelope and a couple of small bull moose.

It's been a great trip and I want to thank Shawn (popeshawnpaul) for offering to let me check out his honeyhole. I really appreciate it Shawn. Getting pictures of the big elk in there made my trip!

I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Idaho to help a friend fill his moose tag. Watch for a new thread.

The moose picture is awesome they are always the highlight for me

Great pics. Like the 2nd elk pic and the moose and squirrel pics

[popeshawnpaul]

No problem.  I have been doing a lot of research on the park and nobody is seeing elk really.  It seems this is a couple years in a row they are really down.  Let's hope some wolf control around the park will help.  Good luck on the moose hunt.

I love that second snowy elk picture!  That is awesome!  Hopefully we'll get some early snow this year for the rifle deer hunt!

[boneaddict]

See ya on th emoose slopes Timber.  Goodluck on your hunt.  It sounds as if they are a little thinner this year but there should still be some good ones.
