Re: If I only had a tag.....

I feel your pain. One year deer hunting, I literally almost stepped on one like that. He was napping behind an amazingly small bush, & neither of us saw the other till he woke up, took one look at me & scampered off. It was 3 days before elk season; surely had to think on the 4lb issue as to whether to unleash a Nosler Partition that day.
 
Re: If I only had a tag.....

hehe ..it was all good though...

Had the young boy with me and he was just tickled!


Cinch, funny you mentioned humble.... I took a pic for him too. I didn't want our resident expert to feel left out!

I have to say I'm more than impressed with the Nikon D90!!!

Re: If I only had a tag.....

Hey Thanks guys! We had a great time... no bullets or blood but he's still going on the wall ;-)

ffl,
I only have 2 and havn't really seen a need for more

18-105 VR
70-300 VR

for a small lighter camera man this thing can do it all.

I only took one card with me or I would ran some video...

maybe next time ;-)

If the weather cooperates we'll head out next weekend too.
 
Re: If I only had a tag.....

Yeah, we went there yesterday afternoon. Bit frosty in the Am and a dusting. Cleared up a bit though. Headed there Wed again.

Here's the pic from Estes.

If anyone has computer skills PM me. I have a question about my computer.
 
Re: If I only had a tag.....

Thanks Ric. You gonna man up admit these pics were taken in RMNP? What would be the odds of me driving down there this weekend and getting pictures of the same bull? I am betting pretty good.

My camera doesnt take nearly as good pictures though.
 
Re: If I only had a tag.....

I'll even meet you introduce you to my son and if I have permission show you where.
Think about it Brad.
Odds are real good.
you might also have to venture out a bit. ;-)
 
Re: If I only had a tag.....

Venture out! Funny....

I think I can find Horseshoe Park on my own...

So... you found a stud bull like that, in a meadow, with your family, during the daylight, was able to take pics and he wasnt in RMNP? Right..... A bull that stupid just wouldnt make it very long in an open hunting area, you know, one where you could have a tag.

Would you like to see internet links to at least two other pics of that bull? Those people all admit he was standing right in RMNP.

Nothing wrong with taking the family out and showing them some elk. You took some kick ass pictures, pretty good quality. Just admit to where you took them.
 
Re: If I only had a tag.....

I'm not saying he doesn't go to the horseshoe... I'm just saying he doesn't just live there. I took those pics Early in the morning. When was he at the horseshoe?

It isn't that hard really...

For fucks sake, relax a bit and quit trying so hard to make an issue of this... so many fucking internet experts will try way to hard to make an issue out of nothing, read more into it, miss the point, try to make something of nothing and miss the reality, and why, cause they've nothing fucking better to do.

Wanna make a bet the super dudes on "as real" are having a field day with this. And why...???

If the weather holds we'll be in, or near there again this weekend. However, once we went in the park on Monday the crowds we a bit overwhelming. Maybe we'll head to Red Feather and shoot some real Elk, not the pets.
