If I scooped those I'd end up in jail. The bull is in Jasper National Park. Jasper is only a 3 1/2 hr drive from my place here in BC. We were bored last weekend and decided to go on a little day trip before the bulls shed out.
As for elk hunting, I used to hunt elk when I was a kid. Where I live now, there isn't an open season in the imediate area. I'd have to go at least a couple of hours to get into GOS season units. We do have a small struggling elk herd near where I live and that is where the bulk of my elk pics come from. That herd hasn't had a season for over 20 years now. One year the RMEF planned a transplant and had everything set up with elk penned and ready to go on the trucks but it was kiaboshed at the last minute and the elk went somewhere else. The Ministry basically said it would have just been a feeding program for the wolves. But our little herd has continued regardless.
