Sweet pics guys! You're makin' me jealous being able to hunt in September. My elk hunting won't be until December when I come home for the holidays. I'm just excited to have the chance to get out, even if it's going to be dark, wet and cold! Any elk huntin' is good elk huntin'!

Post by: SELFBOW19953 on July 22, 2011, 09:52:00 AM

My photos aren't current, but in 2007, I was in Colorado on businss. We went up to Estes Park to look around, and there in the city park by the lake were about 2 dozen elk, 8 to 10 of them bulls. All the bulls, except 1 looked like this-all busted up.

This guy, however, was loud and proud.

(http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s331/selfbow19953/ELK/100_0281-1.jpg)

He bugled constantly, had his harem around him.

These are the only free roaming elk I've ever seen, being an Easterner. I am so envious of you folks that get to see them when you want!!!

selfbow it is fun to go to estes and watch the elk close up, I do it all the time it is like having a classroom, you learn all the sounds that they make you get to study body structure at different positions, but I really enjoy the "wild" elk even more, it is a lot of fun to find a herd of elk, I have seen them in some weird places, but there also found in your classic elk spots.

My best pictures are those in my mind. I don't usually carry a camera afield.

The 5x5 that I watched bed down quartering toward me at 35 yards while I was stuck behind the only two trees in the area - and he didn't get up for an hour and a half. I still didn't get a shot.

Or the bull that came into the water hole and played in the water including turning over onto his back and kicking his feet..............he tasted great!

Or any number of bulls I have called into, or almost into, bow range and not gotten a shot.

Or the ones that busted me...............

This thread is great, some of the pics I can almost smell the aspen leaves or the dank moist smell of the dark timber, or the barn yard smell of the wallows. I love it all. We leave for Colorado a month from tomorrow.
