This is my Margaret bull(Griz lake). Not the biggest bull we saw, But the one standing 12 yrds from me. I could not take it after 3 days, had to shoot one. Second shot was at 60.

Nope used a bucket of water and a fish tank heater. Let it soak in the warm water. It promotes bacteria which helps break down the flesh. Need to remove eyes and brains first though they don't rot as easy

Here is a bull I came across during the last days of deer season. He was bugaling every 10-15 minutes. So I set up this game came on the 28th of Sept and this is what showed up! :o Now Im trying to track him for late archery. Never elk hunted before and this is my first year bow hunting. Would be pretty cool to get this guy in the late season!

I came close to getting a bull ...3 times! but they busted me every time. So when this cow came in to 17 yards I leter fly...freezer full!
Hubby was on a pack trip into the wilderness so I had to gut, skin out and prop the elk up on logs so it would cool out overnight. I hiked out and hired a packer to come in and pack it out. This is an eastern Ore. elk.

Awesome website, lots of great bulls as well. Here goes my first post.

Thanks!!! I seen 4 branch antler bulls that were taken and 2 spikes and 2 - 1x2's. The warden said there were 2- 2x2's shot and the hunter busted. It was a little slow after the first day because the snow left and the rain and warmer weather moved in. I seen 2 nice 5x5's and a real big 6x6 bull about 300 yard walk by me and lots of cows and one spike. I had a great trip this season and can't wait to fill my 2 muzzle deer tags.

Managed to pull him out in one piece :)

And thursday 11/8 got my buddy into this 5x5 out of the same herd
Sorry Michelle, but he'ld already cut the cape abit short before I got to him, almost had another for ya

His didn't come out quite as easy

There were 17 of us.

No wonder why we couldnt find any elk in Winston! :yike: Grundy and his hired marksman killed them all.  :chuckle: 

Congrats on a bunch of rosies.  I am guessing you guys had some sore backs and legs.

Hunted the Nemah for years. My dad got drawn for his second cow tag in 36 years. He filled it last Tuesday morning. Good 600ib plus Rosie! No bulls, but we got meat in the freezer and had a great time!

 We camped out for 9 days during modern rifle in the Winston unit. Saw 3 legal bulls that we couldn't get shots at because of various reasons. Saw several cows and about 3 million hunters. It's a zoo (always has been) but this year was really crowded. We hunted hard, steep and deep as they say, but to no avail. Alas, the wily critters evaded us.
 We decided to head down again on the last day and work some of the reprod and timber we hunted during the season earlier. I wasn't overly optimistic but I never, ever pass up a chance to get out and hunt. On our second drive of the morning I hear elk ahead and see ivory tips over the brush ahead of me at about 75 yds. He was moving to my right so I ran around the brush pile to cut him off, losing sight of him in the process. As I came to a spot where I thought he might show he wasn't there so I glanced back to the left to find him moving away in the timber. I only had a quick shot so I pulled up, got hair and let it fly. Hit him in 1 lung and the opposite shoulder on a quartering away shot and staggered him. I still didn't have a very clear shot but got him down with the next two. I'm glad I did cuz he was just steps away from a steep drainage that would have made it hell to get him out. We got him out and loaded (quartered) by 11:30. He's a small 4x4 with a kicker on the back left side that makes him a 5x4 but in any case he's a trophy in my book and well worth the effort. Any elk is a good elk as long as it's in my freezer.

It feels odd posting a spiker in a bull thread, but why not. It sort of counts, I guess. Muzzleloader spike from the eastside. Saw very, very few elk, but I saw the one I needed. Spotted it at 5pm, made a long looping stalk in on it, shot it at 6pm, took until 2am to get it out, and taught school the next day like a complete zombie. My few students who hunt thought it was cool; the others thought it was pretty strange.

And I always make fun of those guys who don't take their picture until their animal is about halfway quartered up with blood everywhere. Since I forgot my camera and had to wait for my dad and his iPhone, I'm now that idiot who took the picture too late (other than the sleeping spike pic I took with my flip phone).

I guess I'll post this here too.  Toutle modern firearm, 4x5, taken on the 12th after 10 days of climbing and sidehilling through some pretty steep, wet, thick hillsides.  Managed to sneak in on him before he saw me and dropped @ 49 long steps.  Not a huge bull, but my first branched bull and a quality hunt in my mind.

I was asking about those bulls.  That first one looked like a west side bull we got pictures of this year, a different angle on the right antler would have cleared it up though.  It's probably just the angle of his picture.  Thanks!
