checked my trail camera Monday. Only 24 days!!!

[Matt Foley]

In mid June, I put a trail camera out , in a very remote area and finally got out to check it on Monday. I am very encouraged! I had over 1400 images and about 2/3 where of animals. Here are some of the highlights.

Now this is the one that really got me excited. I saw this bull, from a distance, last season and could tell he was big but wasn't sure how big. Notice that the date on these pics is only July 7th! The question I have is, how much more will this guy grow?

I can't wait!

Mediocre spot...good plan 'B', maybe.



Very cool, thanks for getting me wound up today....
Hope to see the answer to 'how big' in a month or so.

Sweet. Looks like a mineral lick?

 

[OpenCountry]

Awesome, good luck!

OTC or LE area?

Either way I'd be pretty damn excited.

OTC for elk but I am still, 2 to 3 years out on getting a buck tag.

Awesome pics! Is that at a pinch point on a game trail? That's a great bull!

My findings is that by july 7th, most all the growth is done when it comes to deer anyway. I cannot comment on elk but he looks pretty finished out.

Either way he is a great bull. And that muley....

Great find and good luck!

That bull is a Stud! The fronts and thirds on that thing are massive! Hopefully the next photo is in about six weeks with you sitting next to him!

It is actually a wallow. The hill sluffed off and water bubbles out and fills all the footprints, making a sloppy, muddy mess. I found it at the end of last season and it was the most stinky wallow I have ever found. I have been dreaming of it ever sense. I actually fell into the mud, last year, while trying to walk across. I stunk so bad that my wife made me strip to the buff, in the garage, before I could come in and shower.

Great bulls! Looks like you have a few options!

Great pics Thanks for sharing

He looks finished. From my experience elk shed velvet around August 15, I think growth on him from the last pic will be insignificant
