Went and check the cams today, had some battery problems, so have to re-set, but did find one decent young bull.
-
:tup:
-
Nice one :tup:
-
Get em!!! :tup:
-
just getting started, got a few cams out, and few more to go. Did a little snooping around till dark, saw about 75 elk, 18 bulls and several goats.
-
Saw a real nice 6x6 up in the Nile last weekend with a couple smaller bulls. How many cams you have out right now?
-
Nice :tup:
-
got three out now, one more to put out this weekend, then getting a couple more next week from another member.
-

Please keep the Goose Prairie pics coming!!!!!!!
-
okay
-
I like the growth that I am seeing!
-
Checked the cam today, got a close up in Goose Prairie.
-
Also my daughter found this next to my camera. Never found one like that before, had to hurt like crazy.
-
Nice find
-
Little update from today. All from Goose Prairie/Bumping unit.
-
Is that last pic the broken antler bull?
-
I don't think so, I can't tell from that pic, but this cam is about 2-3 miles and two drainage's away from where we found the antler piece. I think the bull that broke is a lot bigger bull than the one in the last pic, but who knows, they do travel a lot this time of year. :dunno:
-
I don't know what it is with elk, but they always either lick my cameras, or nudge them or slobber all over them. Deer never touch them, but the dang elk always mess with 'em.
-
The picture of your daughter is great.
Good for you getting her out and away from typical girl behavior.
-
She is definitely not a "girlie" girl. She spends a lot of time with me in the woods. Saw her first bear a few weeks ago and got to see a baby elk from just a couple feet. She already loves the woods just as much as I do. Fun times.
-
Nice pics! Can I go scouting with you? :dunno:
-
I have the same problem with Elk licking or pushing on my cameras. Must be the salt from sweat? Great TC pictures, love the one with your daughter.

With lumber costs going up I would be expnding now on to your trophy room for your daughter
-

Just gotta get up here.
Ribka,
Can't afford to until I get some work, like someone's bike, or wife's hunt.
-
Hard to see, but a Peaches bull with some potential.

Norsepeak sent ya a PM, just had a simple question.
Like where are the elk? :chuckle: Hey Ty, can you let me know too?
-
Found these guys for ya Mike. :tup:

I drew a bull tag for Goose Prairie archery this year. Hubby and I went up there and did some scouting the other day. This was our first time in that area. We definitely like what we saw.
-
Ty, we checked our cameras last week and had a spike similar to that one. Lots of cows. :tup: Hope their still there in Sept!
On one camera, our last pic was of a good size bear. That picture was taken 15 min before we checked the camera.
Was going to give you a call but figured you were on call or at work.
-
Wish I could have drawn that branch tag Tye!

Mike, if your area doesn't work out, let me know, I've got a camera over the ridge from your camp that is absolutley being hammered with elk. Could probably nail a fat cow of that spot pretty easy. Gonna be out of town for a few days next week, but call when you are around after that.
-
Will do Ty. Thanks!
We'll probably check our cameras the first weekend in Aug. Clay is on his annual Harley ride and gets back the 29th.
-
Sweet pics norsepeak!! I was already fired up and chomping at the bit to get back up there for some scouting, and you just made it worse!! hahaha
-
Think there might be a couple of horses and dogs at one of your camera sites... :chuckle:
-
little update
-
got a decent buck too.
-
Norse, great pics!!!
-
that's a good bull , he would be hard not to stick. thanks for the pics.
-
Holy buckets Batman that's a lot of nice bulls. :drool:
-
The fourth pic is the bull who's antler my daughter found next to my camera. You can see the broken eye guard on his right side.
-

I had over 7000 pics on two cameras. I only kept about 15 pics out of all of them. The one camera had over 20 different bulls on it.
-
Nice! Going to be a great year
-
Thanks for sharing Norse. I have a camera soaking right now. First time soak so we will see how it goes. It has been out for 11 days now.
-
Great looking bulls!
You all booked up yet for the archery season?
Brian
-
kinda yes, kinda no. Didn't take any clients for archery this year because I drew. But if I tag out early, I'll have time to help someone if they need it.
-
Awesome pics!!! My elk fever just got worse. Can't wait to get back up there.
-

You drew again already?!? Didn't you have the tag a couple years ago?
-
yeah, I had a tag in 2010. Nailed a nice 6x8. Gotta slip some lettuce in with your app next time. :tup:
-
Well congrats! Looking forward to seeing pics of your nice bull!
-
poacher points help too ;)
-
Still waiting on those Coach....game dept. is yanking us around on them for almost a year now...
-
So you are going to have another tag next year? :yike: just jealous!
-
went out for a little snooping around tonight, saw around 100 head including: 2 big 5pts., 2 6pts. around 25 spikes, a couple 3 pts. and a ton of cows and calves. Heard lots of cow talk, squeals and a couple full on bugles. The pics are of the two 6pts., I think one of them might get a closer look in a couple weeks. These pics were taken from over 700 yards.
-
one more
-
Good work. Thanks for uploading the pics.
-
Both are good bulls :drool:
-
:tup:
-
I'm living through your pics right now . thanks for sharing them . Soon Very Soon !
-
You don't have to worry about your tag! :tup:
-
Very Nice, Those guys look rubbed to you?
-
no, still full velvet, they were just a very long way away and a semi-crappy camera. :chuckle:
-
Got a new guy for the possible hit list. What do ya think?
-
I think he would definitely get a visit from a 440Grn Pro hunter!
-
Shoot!
-
That is a great bull if you ask me!
-
You sir have some nice critters there..... :tup:
-
Awesome pics - Looks like lots of opportunity - Got an archery bull tag *finally* after 8 years of draw. Shot a cow in Goose Prarie unit 4 years ago. Bulls were going crazy at that time too. Looking for others who will be bow hunting in the area as I'm currently going solo.
-
That bull is a shooter in my book
-
Went a pulled another camera today, got this nice 7pt that is a real ham....gave me lots of good pics. Just a hint, he's in Bumping unit.
-
That looks just like the bull I,m gonna shoot only smaller :chuckle:
-
I hope so coach.... :chuckle: I'll be around all bow season, so if ya need some help, give me a holler. :tup:
-
Thats a nice bull right there..
-
Looking for one just a bit bigger than that one...but might find it hard to pass it up if it walks by. The old saying about never passing on a bull that you would not shoot the last day of the season comes to mind. We'll see how long I can keep up that ruse.

Hope you don't mind a big bowl of tag soup :chuckle:

Hey - I think he is taunting you in that last pic :P
