[XMP]

I woke up this morning to find this guy on the porch. I didn't invite him in though

I wish. No, I'm in Colorado for the month of November.

I'm painfully jealous of the view from your back porch! Amazing.

Wow, great pix. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful. That's pretty lucky. Looks pretty tastey.

He's already nice but another year or two and he'll have a real trophy rack. Of course, he'd probably eat better at this age....

They are always more tasty when they are younger. I don;t go for trophy racks, I hunt for the meat :thumbup:

 

[DWK2]

The meat is my primary goal, but if the first bull I ran across happened to be a 6x6 340+ point animal, well-----I guess I'd just be chewing a bit harder for the next year!

Hey XMP,
What part of Colorado are you in? Looks like the Estes Park area. Wish I was there, Seattle is one dark drizzly place this time of year.
Great pics by the way.

Thanks,

Ric

Too cool! Could be postcard material.

Yes, I'm in the Estes Park area right now. Its funny in the past month while hiking or driving I've probably seen 2000 elk and the very biggest bulls are right in the town of Estes. I guess they know they can't get shot there; that's why they're big.

Nice !
This freaked me out. Back when I was growing up there weren't any there.
This idiot apparently wants it that way again.

nice elk. When I read the post title I pictured elk on the dinner table instead of turkey.

I like a little mystery in my thread titles.

Here are some pretty big fellows a couple of days before Thanksgiving. Not quite so "up close and personal" but still fun to see.
