Fresh Elk Sheds! Pics Added!
« on: March 10, 2012, 08:29:52 PM »
I've been watchin a bull for about 10 days now..going up everyother night after work checkin on him.  I found his fresh set last year and his set from the year before.  This afternoon i went up and checked his position and he had went from one draw to another, no biggie.  He came out early today 3:45, as he fed out of the timber he moved toward a fence that happened to be in his way...So i'm thinkin maybe he"ll jump the fence and his horns will fall off.  Sure enough thru my spotting scope from across the canyon he leaped across, and chaaa ching his right popped off.  Then he took off down hill acting like a buckin bull at a rodeo..then the left hit the dirt....I'm about to have a heart attack after witnessing that!  Surely something that i will never forget! 

The fresh set i'm holding...Then the 3 sets all together from the same bull.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

Pretty cool to be able to get 3 years worth from the same bull.
