JMG: I went back out to the giant herd of Elk in question this afternoon in hopes of getting some close-up ictures. Unfortunately the Elk had moved a bit further from the public road (now 600 yards distant as compared to 300 yards distant last week).
So I got no pictures today but did do some counting of Bulls only - there are now 46 5x5 or better Bulls and the rutting (mounting of cows, bugling, chasing etc) is still going strong.
Maybe the number bugles per minute is down slightly but still plentiful and very entertaining.
The distance to the Elk today now made it difficult to count the non-antlered Elk as they are "thick".
And unfortunately I do not possess the ability to post photos here - I will gladly send you an E-mail containing five pictures of the Elk herd/circumstances.
You would be more than welcome to post them here after you receive them.
Just send along your E-mail address via E-mail to me (VarmintGuy

Hold into the wind
