Stan,

 Tell them its elk season and hit the road..Come back in January..  :readit:    :bigsmyl:  

 Hunted the coast range today...Hiked in a hour in the dark behind gates...Cows everywhere...These were feeding the road...

 

 This bunch had 3 spikes...

 

 I hid behind my Montana decoy and got into bow ranged of this bedded cow...

 

 The rut is going to start to heat up and things are just going to get better..  :bigsmyl:

Dang Bill,

Nice pictures!  I know, I know what a time to visit.  If only my wife's family would visit during hunting season   :rolleyes:  

Looks like you're into them good.  I've got a couple of roads I'd like to hike in behind, but their all Weyerhauser   :(  

I'm sure they'll be opened up just in time for rifle season.  Good luck.

Back after them this weekend...Had a good bull bugling Saturday,but he just wouldn't play fair..  :(  

 Sunday played cat and mouse with a small herd in the morning fog...Now you see them,now you don't..Came real close to getting a good shot at this spike,but when he finally came in close enough he was straight on...

 Gonna rest up at work this week so we will be ready for next weekend..  :bigsmyl:

Dang, Bill, I love that shot of the shrouded spike! Nice job!

 I took this one this morning...

Great pics again, Bill.  Saw two raghorns sparring this morning.  Then a cow saw us and the gig was up.    :mad:   Made it to about 80 yards this time though.  Oh well, one more weekend.

Beautiful pics! Are you doing those with a self timer or a partner? Or is that for us aspiring photographers to wonder?  :D

Well, I spent 5 days last week on a solo moose hunt in the foothills of the Alaska Range about 40 miles south of my house.  Saw several good bulls but no good chances to take one or get a picture.  Here's some other pictures though.

 
Camp as seen trough the bushes.

 
Dinner?

 
This Willow Ptarmigan posed so nicely that I went ahead and had canned chili for the forth nite in a row.

 
You could nearly sent a clock by this guy, same tree, same time every night.

It's cool, what you get to look at while hunting!

Great pics Bill & Ken.

I got a couple last week that might fit in here.

This is a small pine I watched a 6by6 bull destroy. I don't have a branch tag so I just enjoyed the show, sorry I didn't even think about the camera till later.

This is a lion scratch made by a young tom, they do it with the hind feet.

I got a shot at a lion last week, the cat was faster than my arrow. They gotta be closer than 18 paces if they are lookin at you I guess  :(

Hey Bear,

 No self timer...Thats my brother,hunting partner and reluctant photo subject  :D  ...He sees me take my pack off to break the camera out and he takes off...I have to chase him down...  :bigsmyl:  

 One more weekend Stan....I had to work last Saturday,but so far they are saying no work this weekend...I killed a nice bull the last hour of the last day a few years back so you never know...I am looking forward to the late season though.....

Robin, I have a saying..

 "Theres always a lot of elk around until you want to shoot one.."  

 Same can be said for branch bulls it seems...  :confused:    :confused:
