Title: Who has the Pics of the Bulls standing in the pond at Wallula Junction 1/1/2020?
Post by: 300rum on January 02, 2020, 10:44:03 AM: Someone has to have the pics? I saw them in the slough yesterday at first light, drove to Walla Walla and then came back and they were still there. One pretty good bull, it was quite the sight seeing them standing in the water and fog. I didn't count them but there must have been 12 or so bulls?

Post by: CoryTDF on January 02, 2020, 02:15:41 PM: I almost crashed when I saw them. Pretty dang cool thing to see. Second time I have seen bulls in that Whitetail Bay. I have some pictures but I'm at work. There were 10 bulls by my count.

Wind was blowing really hard and there are lots of duck hunters out there. I am guessing they got scared and ran out there to be safe. They were there most of the day.

Post by: LDennis24 on January 02, 2020, 03:04:54 PM: Not far from there some guys from work were placing cable over the hills and found a huge bull dying from a wound. They came back after the weekend and it was dead laying in the ravine over the hill from them I guess, they followed the smell to find him, a few days later they said someone took the antlers off it. Guess it had serious mass....

Post by: 300rum on January 02, 2020, 03:45:55 PM: I too was wondering why they were there. They didn't seem too spooked in the water, they were sparring and walking back and forth in the water a 100 yards too and fro, I didn't see them feeding on anything. I was wondering if it was dogs or wolves or something. I would have thought that they would be used to duck hunters by now. :dunno: I know that there were wolves on the hills above touchet.

It seemed that they wanted nothing to do with the shore and they were there for at least a few hours from first light when I first went by.

They were all Bulls yesterday, at least a dozen, I didn't actually count them.

Post by: 270Flat on January 02, 2020, 04:40:35 PM: I saw 10 bulls in there yesterday. My cell phone pics are bad but didn’t have anything else. Wife took a short video I’ll ask her if it’s any good and post if so.
I agree they didn’t want nothing to do with the shoreline. I’m betting it’s predators that drove them there. That includes people with guns. 🤬Hopefully they stay away from the roads and disappear

I hate hearing stories like this sure wish we were able to put bulls down in this type of shape

Post by: 300rum on January 03, 2020, 06:37:24 AM: Someone who knows what they are doing has some pretty cool pics. Maybe this happens frequently out there? I don't know, but it was quite the sight, to me.

Post by: gramps on January 04, 2020, 04:56:29 AM: The photo was taken at 3:00 pm 1.1.20 by my neighbor. They did not see any other elk.

Over the years, I have seen Elk in that area a number of times...sometimes on the Columbia river side in the WW river 'delta'.

The Elk that were in the Popular tree farms are most likely still in the area.

Post by: CackleBird98 on January 04, 2020, 06:13:15 AM: Not much of a pic, but dang cool to see! I've seen elk in there in years past, even picked up sheds close to the pond. Was really cool to see tho!
