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.

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.

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....

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

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.
The skies are full of smoke in southern AB. made for some good pic's.
There were 9 bulls and 1 with no horns ,but likely a bull.

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

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