Title: Still Packing
Post by: Old Mule on March 16, 2009, 06:12:57 PM: I had 6 Branched Bulls in the Field at work today from 4 to 6 Points they all had Bones on their heads and were pushing each other around, there were also 4 Spikes and 3 2 points, The trick is going to be keeping other guys from chasing them back across the River before they drop their (Don't hurt Me) HORNS! That's for you Antler Guys. Its no secret were they are they, spend most of their time behind Safeway in Enumclaw.

Every shed hunter gets one "freebee" middle of the road find. Hope you like it because it likely won't happen again. (I got my bloody 4pt a few years back) ;)

Post by: wazzuhunter on March 18, 2009, 07:08:45 PM: Most of the elk I have seen in the last couple weeks are still packin'. There are a few at the Oak Creek feed station that have dropped, but most of them still have both of their horns.

I even saw this old guy. He seems to be a little bit ahead of the pack.
