Here is the exerpt from the toad thread. I obviously missed him and probably won't have a shot. He'd have rivalled those Yellowstone bulls and Banff bulls. He was about 380 or over. I'l try again, but since two other hunters saw him, I bet they push him to another planet.

I was camera hunting Public land bulls. I had two other bowhunters close in, one about 100 yards each side of me. Guess they figured they might have a chance. LOL If the stupid f's would keep their hoochie Mammas in their pockets, they just might have. He was pissed at the Sat bull and me. I pulled the sat bull out of the trees right between the two hunters. I was on him and noticed the big guy coming out. I didn't wnat to move becasue I figured once the sat bull blew, the big guy was gone. My aperature was set on the worng Fstop from the eveing before and I was too excited to click with the brain register until it was too late. Well, the big bull disappeared with his cows, and the Sat bull negotiated his way perfectly so the hoochie mammas couldn't have a crack at him. LOLI screwed up but managed to come away with these......

One gentleman asked me if I was packing meat, I said no, just camera equipment. Its about as heavy but doesn't taste very good.

Got there about 5. Stepped out of the truck to dig out the lens and blew the bugle. The whole entire range lit up. I have never heard so many elk in my life. PURE INSANITY. WOlves aren't hurting them yet up there. I had never heard so many elk at once. It was totally overwhelming. I didn't even know where to go. I decided to park where I had in the past and there was a hunting camp there. They weren't out of bed yet. I moved down the road and started up the hill to a place I wanted to start. I stepped out of the truck and a bull ripped a bugle about 50 yards in the trees. I big herd bull. The herd came out and checked out my truck popping(as it cools). Too dark to focus. Huge bull with several satellites. They moved on. Not really spooked. I tried up the hill where there were wallows before but I didn't want to scratch up the rental so had to turn around. I then went back down and tried to call a couple but they were moving off. I gave chase and eventually ended up within 50 yards of three bulls. A huge herd bull and two others. I could not get them to come in. They moved off at my cow calling but I brought them back in with a bugle. Then a hunter started closing. It was enough to quiet them. By now it was 10 in the morning. No more bugles so I went driving. Looked for deer but didn't find any. Then I popped another tire and had to come home. I was hoping for some bulls in obscure places but I can't get to most of those places in the rental. This sucks. Had alot of chances but its flat too dry, so can't close the distance and its too thick for a pic.

Yep, exactly what they are. Soft as butter and 4 ply.
I think I actually had a little bump in pavement pop a couple of mine.... :chuckle: :chuckle:
