Those look very nice, the elk should be in full rut now and chasing cows like crazy.

Gerry I saw six branch bulls in one section of land, the biggest one had 1/2 dozen cows. I didn't see any others. Makes me wonder where the heard bull is and how big!

What's Oregon's wolf policy re hunting them?
They're still off-limits here in Washington!

Guy wolves are still off limits. There are a lot of them. I don't understand how they count them. It's obvious there is a distinct difference in reported number and what's out there.
Gene the area we hunt is a limited entry hunt. Drawing a branch bull tag is tough, no one has other than a spike or cow tag this year. In any event I love watching them.

Deer season opened yesterday. In addition we had a couple of depredation cow elk tags to fill.
I'll attach photos later but I have a couple of observations.
A rifle that has a scope mounted with the elevation turret rotated all the way to the left is not zeroed.
A 180 SST at 200 yards out of an 06 will put a big hole going into a deers chest.
A 180 SST at 300 yards will break the rear leg of a cow elk, will continue forward entering the chest at the sturnum allowing you to eventually catch up with her.
A 7mm mag on a cows shoulder works.
A 6.5 creedmore, 129sst will kill put a big hole in a deers chest.
And the refrigeration unit will go out in the meat room on opening day.
I was busy last night.

Sounds as if you had quite the day! Congratulations to you and to your clients.
It sure sound like your first day was a full one :wink:.
We had my Son's GSP out yesterday and he did really well but seems he only points hen pheasant and here is Saskatchewan we can only shoot Roosters :shock:.
The birds here really took a licking last winter with so much snow,cold and then having the drought this past summer.
PS. Pheasant season opened yesterday
They are talking lowest numbers in many many years.
Blessings,
Dan

Well we missed some dandies, including one that dwarfed anything we've ever seen, a drop tine buck that easily went 180. Watched him come in to 80 yards. watched the bullet hit the ground right underneath the deer.
We had several other missed opportunities. Ended with one good buck, one spork, and several fork horns.
And two cows

The missed shot must have been Buck Fever but the rest seemed to know what they were doing with well placed shots.
Thanks for the pictures.

My mission is to get a photo of him before he moves back to wherever he came from. The season is still open for a few days, boss has a tag and is sitting down by the river right now.
Hell I had buck fever, worried the hunter was going to have a heart attack.

The boss spent an hour looking at three bucks about 300 yards away. Close scrutiny showed this guy was past prime while the others will be better next year. 257 B 120 gr Partition. In the throat out the ham.

A fine buck, nevertheless. He has left his genes in the population.
