Nice Spring Elk

[chicojn]

Here is a nice spring elk I came across a few days ago while out for a scouting trip, no I wont provide location LOL.






Should be nice with another 4 months growth!

I don't think he will have 4 months or 4 weeks to grow. He will be polished in 4 weeks unless the pictures are from june?

Nope pictures taken July 14th 2011

nice critter but will be done growing in 3 weeks , and starting to rub by the end of august ..

There will be pictures of hard horned elk from the last week of august on the board from bowhunters. He will just tip out and start to harden. I would say he will be knocking off the fuzzy stuff around august 20th.

Scouting at Talbot lake, Jasper?
He'll be finished growing by the end of July and velvet shed 3 weeks later and around the townsite a week later.

That looks like the one I seen at Jasper last week. Right along the highway.

I know spring came late this year? Is July 14th Spring now? If you are scouting in the National Parks you will be disappointed you can't hunt these guys...
