I don't post on here much, but I figured this might be worth sharing since I enjoy the pics and stories shared by everyone else. This past weekend my dad and I took a scouting trip for the LE elk tag he drew for Utah this year. The first morning we glassed a bull that caught our attention from over a mile away. We were able to get a bit closer before taking these pics as he walked into the trees.
We decided later in the day to take a closer look at the terrain they were in. After waiting three hours and numerous mosquito bites (apparently OFF doesn't work too great) they finally came out of the trees for their evening meal for a closer 350 yard photo session.
This bull on the left is by far the nicest one we saw all weekend. As soon as we saw him my dad whispered that is the one I want!
As it got dark, I took this last picture and we quietly walked back to the truck undetected.
Now as for a few questions to you MM's out there. We've been debating if the bull in the first few pictures is the same one as the big bull in the last few pics? Looking at them we kind of have our doubts that they are but we could easily be wrong. The other questions out of curiousity are, what do you think the bull from the second set of pics would score and about how many more weeks of growth would he have? I hope you guys enjoy the pics as much as I enjoyed taking them. It was my first time digiscoping out in the field so the pics aren't the best.
