Prairie Elk
 

Where I seen this one, I'm not sure if he is from Suffield or Sweetgrass. A long ways from any main herd. He was running with a whitetail doe. Not sure if he was chasing her or following her. What does a 350" bull look like this time of year.

Dinner:scared0018:

He will be eating chic peas and canola all summer. Makes for good eating.

HMMM maybe a whitetail trapped in an elk's body?:thinking-006:

How far from suffield was he?

I know what we can name their of spring too!
Mule Deer hahaha

290 bull
 

I would gamble and say he will be a high 200" bull around 290" or so. Very saggy eyeguard, good sign of a young'un.
Cool pics. Thanks for sharing.

He was in the middle WMU 110.

Then he likely is from neither Suffield nor Sweetgrass.

There are much closer established elk herds in every direction from 110....

As far as size, he is still a young raghorn, probably a 3 1/2 year old bull, maybe just two. I suspect he will be a 5x5 scoring no more than 240.

"What does a 350" bull look like this time of year."

Not like the bull in the picture.

Nice pics.

Thanks for the pics! After hunting season is over all I want is for summer to come and then wants animals start growing antlers and draw results are out, I can't wait for it to be fall. That's life with a hunting addiction I guess....:thinking-006:

Cool pics thanks for sharing

Always neat to see animals in unexpected locations. I second Dinner, in due time of course. :D

I live on the southern end of 110, not that uncommon to see elk the last few years.

Nice pics!

A few pic's from this morning,for the guys waiting to see if they get drawn for Suffield Elk. These ones were in WMU 128. They seam to have taken up residences they been here for a month.
This one is going to be at least a 6x6.

If those pictures don't get the blood pumping you better see a doctor cause ya might be half dead.. I would like to see that bull with the crooked eyegard when's he's done growing..

That's the one that's going to be a 6x6. He has a good gut going.

neat
 

ive been quadding from just north of med hat to brooks area for 2 weeks next to the base, first time really in that area seen lots of elk cows,calves and bulls. also seen a lot of pronghorn seen a few real nice bucks. couple whitys, bunch of MD thankfully no snakes, nice area but hot.

I don't think there is a season in 128 yet for antlered or anterless. Great to see some more expanding

Wow, in a zone not opened to them? Maybe they are on to something.:thinking-006:

They got an update on the draw applications and are booking it for safer grounds!

Ether that or they seen WAY to many Saskatchewan licenses plates around there home turf last winter and decided to get the heck out of dodge.
