yes a good number are in Graves...NSow is a little lighter than same time last year, but if last few years are any indication, sledding got REALLY good about mid february last year, and didnt stop till mid-April...
he is not that big of a bull...young one, just growing up, but this guys second ever bull, and second one he has ever seen in the wild...he is a blessed hunter :)
This area yields BIG bulls as in 350+ bulls routinely, but this guy shot the first oen he saw...biggest I have seen in the area is...
got a matched pair...and another filly on the ground too...the Mare is packing, and her two year old gelding is being ridden by a buddy...
pic was a staged pic, as we also had to load the gelding with quarters from another elk...was a long day!!! that trip yielded 3 elk...a week later went back...
I think you need to hang around some guys who are better shots...but then again, boys are just toys to you :)
Taken 4 friends out in 4 years...and you can see the result...had to "assist" as you did on two of them...
full season on the powerclaw on my T-Nytro...will be selling it to buy a CE 174x16x3.0"....CE even in 2.5" is way better track for powder and for spring stuff...IMHO...
