well Im back from my 10 day elk hunting excursion

I only wish i had taken some pictures to show off to you all here at hunting net

first by the title of this post you should know i was not successful but our group as a hole did very well
out of 11 of us there were 5 bulls and 1 cow taken(4 5x5s and 1 spike)

i however passed on several opprotunities to take an animal as i wanted a large bull 6x6 or better

I did however fill a few limits of grouse and caught a beutiful 21 1/2 inch brown trout(wich a picture would have been nice) it ate well

i also had a run in with a very large cinimun fase black bear in which i didnot shoot cause i thought it was a grizzly(size and color) however as it was leaving i made the identity as a blacky but could never get into range with a clear shot again

for anybody that can guess a weight for me he was around four foot high in the shoulder and bigger around than santa claus
