Oak Creek feed station1/23/11
« on: January 24, 2011, 04:53:31 PM »
Took a drive on sunday to get my dad out of the house and went to the feed station. Not as many elk I thought (or have been there in the past) would have been there but there was also not much snow. I heard the head count was 650 or so.
We stopped by the sheep feed area and had just about as many elk in it as sheep, but not single big ram  :'(

Talked with a guy there that was a "lurker" on this site, i believe his name was Greg (sorry if i got your name wrong, I am terrible with names) and shown me some pic of some dandy BT that he and his family has taken. I hope he joins up and shares them, I would love to see them on a bigger screen then a cell phone  :rolleyes:

Took some pic thought I would share with you all.










Makes you kinda wonder how she lost her lower leg  :dunno:

We went over a New Year's.  Saw the 3 1/2 legged cow.  There was also a decent bull that looked like half of his front hoof was bent up towards his leg, he was hobbling around. 

At the sheep feeding station there was a decent bull and a cow elk, the were the only elk there.  There were quite a few sheep and rams.  I got a pic similar to Boneaddicts of 3 sets of sheep nuts.  Tonite if I remember I pull the pics off the camera and post them up.

That bull has made it to the feeding station for the last 3 years if it is the same one. I saw him this year there to.

nice photos.. thanks for sharing! I stopped in today to stretch my legs on my way to Chelan.. there were still a decent number of animals down but they're definitely filtering out! I keep wondering if that old whitened bull will make it back up the hill... anyone know which one I'm talking about? He hobbles or lays around... big old bases but regressing.. I think he's a 4 by 3 now. Any photos of him? I should have taken some this evening... might be his last season.
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.
