Hi Marty,

Nice elk, congratulations..

Hope you don't mind, brought your 2nd picture up.

Looks like Colorado was pretty warm for this time of year? Was that 2nd season?

Thanks Michael! I am a better hunter than photographer. It was 1st elk only draw. It was warm, but nice and cool until afternoon. It’s my favorite time since fishing is awesome. I was there 4 years ago and was greeted to 12 inches new snow!
This year 25-55 at 8500 feet

Warren,

Wayne,

Where's what? I have no idea what you're talking about???

About now many of you are in countdown to the east rifle big game season opener. Here in the Southern Zone of NYS, we are 2 weeks out; 11/18. Neighboring PA just 30 miles away 11/27.
Hoping for a good season even though warm temps have changed fall a bit here "but" you never know.
I'll know peak rut by the dead one's on the road. So far not yet. Full moon was this weekend, Don't have a clue yet. How bout you?

My late season whitetail buck black powder season starts 11/10-11/30. Saw a nice 6 point , eastern count, 2days ago. I have my Tink's 69 wating in the wings.

Black powder here Pap is about a month after yours. Good luck.

Check out this set of horns on this bull elk. I'll have to wait until next year to see if he appears with the same looking set. Can't tell if he hurt them during velvet or had a permanent injury as a calf. He's probably a 3 year old.

Pap

Guess you could say he's a non typical Pap. Poor thing is probably banging into everything.

Went to check my camera's today; surprise!!!!
