Hunting & Fishing Roosevelt bull in velvet

[M700]

Got over to the coast last week and came across a few Roosevelt elk. It was pretty dark back in the thick rainforest, and my camera didn't do real well, but took a few photos of a feeding bull and thought I'd share:

I think he's going to look pretty doggone good by September!

That sure is a beautiful animal. How close were you to him when you took those pictures.

Are they bigger or smaller than a Rocky Mountain Elk?

That is truly awesome. Makes me look forward to elk season even more this year!

They are bigger in body but smaller in horn length.

Very nice, looks like maybe a 6x7. Bow hunting elk is an addiction, don't get me wrong I love my guns but there's nothing like being 10 yards from a big bull just before you stick him.
Good luck, post pic's if you get lucky.
