Title: What is it...Deer? Elk? Sasquatch?
Post by: Mr Mykiss on July 11, 2012, 11:48:23 AM: Of course it's a crappy bottom-corner shot... taken 5/11. Doesn't look quite right to be an elk...or a deer.

Post by: Mr Mykiss on July 11, 2012, 12:17:41 PM: Really you think it's a moose? WEH, you seem pretty convinced...why? I do kinda agree with you. In the Blues.

Post by: washelkhunter on July 11, 2012, 12:22:32 PM: the razor back stance to the hair sez moose. the lack of dark hair on the top of the head. the way the antlers are already palmating sez moose. you can see the coarse texture of the hide? and the bug out eyes sez moose.

Post by: BULLBLASTER on July 11, 2012, 01:04:44 PM: I would say elk... not dark enough for a moose. And doesn't have the big shoulder hump of a moose. There antlers also grow more out than up.

Title: Re: What is it...Deer? Elk? Sasquatch?
Post by: washelkhunter on July 11, 2012, 01:37:45 PM: After looking at a whole lot of pics i gotta switch and say elk. Moose antlers seem to grow straight out the side of their skulls uniformly. Color had me fooled. Thats a light one.

Post by: MtnMuley on July 11, 2012, 04:14:48 PM: Definately an elk. :twocents:

I don't think they are moose "horns" either..... :chuckle: Other than that, I don't know....
Title: Re: What is it...Deer? Elk? Sasquatch?
Post by: BowBender87 on July 13, 2012, 05:10:25 AM: I think elk...as stated before moose antlers grow straight out and these appear to be growing upward
Title: Re: What is it...Deer? Elk? Sasquatch?
Post by: BowBender87 on July 13, 2012, 05:14:22 AM: or maybe there are red stags in the blues :IBCOOL:
Title: Re: What is it...Deer? Elk? Sasquatch?
Post by: nwwanderer on July 13, 2012, 05:48:05 AM: Keep your camera close, that strange little bump of a point on the left side should give you positive ID later.
Title: Re: What is it...Deer? Elk? Sasquatch?
Post by: Mr Mykiss on July 13, 2012, 07:56:23 AM: Camera is getting moved to the Oregon side of the Blues to track branched antlered ELK that I can actually shoot!! So as far as this critter is concerned the world may never know...
Title: Re: What is it...Deer? Elk? Sasquatch?
Post by: BULLBLASTER on July 13, 2012, 09:18:19 AM: That is an elk... you see starts to brow tines and the tallest portion is the growing beam. No large hump on shoulder and moose are dark brown almost black... elk are tan. Moose antlers grow straight out the sides as well (previously stated) the unevenness on the coat is the remaining winter coat shedding.

Post by: BULLBLASTER on July 13, 2012, 09:22:23 AM: This is what moose look like... stolen from huntnnw trail cam pic thread.
Title: Re: What is it...Deer? Elk? Sasquatch?
Post by: Mr Mykiss on July 13, 2012, 06:17:58 PM: Stands to reason that it's an elk. I had 1800 pictures and the majority of them were raghorns just starting to grow (April-June) and smaller bulls. I think it just looked so different because it was a funny angle.
