Default 2015 Suffield Bull Elk Harvest Thread....post your Pics

Today is a day to celebrate- a day many thought would never happen- a bull elk hunt inside the Suffield Base. Congrats to all who are experiencing this milestone.

Now that there's a spot for photo opportunities, this thread is for those willing to share their pics. Thanks in advance for those that do.

Please- keep this thread positive, and good luck to all.

Understandable but what are we tag holders supposed to do at this point. I've been planning and looking forward to this trip for weeks. Am I to just stay home now? No. Go out, check it out and enjoy just not being at work lol

Got mine today. Lots of natives hammering bulls. Seen only 8 or 9. A ton of cows tho. Think the later hunts are slim pickings.

Of course the natives cleaned out a lot . There were over 23 reserves that were invited by the military to come hunt on the base and shoot as many as they want. Shame on the military and fish and wildlife for not dealing with the safety and fish and wildlife violations that were occurring during this SLAUGHTER.....Luckly someone was not injured or shot. Both the military and fish and wildlife should be ashamed of their actions.

When we were there first cow season of November there were piles of cow elk. Just a matter of finding them getting to them and actually getting out of your vehicle and going for a walk. We had no issue bringing 6 cow elk home in two days

I saw lots of elk, both dead and alive in there, but didn't see one that would go over 340"
Just me though.
Good luck to those guys still out there.

I guess all the hype about all those monster bulls and world record elk running around on the base must of been a hoax.
