dr_hunt Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Actually, there were two of them, this is the biggest one. I'll take pictures of the wildflowers, you simply cannot believe the endless amounts we have after all the rains. It smells so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take pictures of the wildflowers, you simply cannot believe the endless amounts we have after all the rains. It smells so good! There are not too many sights nicer than New Mexico after some nice rain... the brown vista is such the norm that when the wild flowers get their day, it is a complete shock to the senses. I am in Iowa, and have gotten to the point of taking lush green for granted... but I still think desert green is better, all the more so for its scarcity. I have been facing the prospect of moving back for quite a while now... and there are some things that I am seriously looking forward to. Wild flowers, adobe architecture, and chili roasting in the fall..... sigh..... = ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Wow!!!! Isn't that a 6x6? In other words, a pretty nice bull? Wow. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Ahh, reminds me of when I used to live in Casper, WY!! We had the same up there, would eat out of your mouth if you were patient enough. Hand feed them apples all the time. Really cool Yasin, really cool. Typically John, the "beavers" only are out at night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slownrusty Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Thanks Doc! I never thought about hand feeding them, but I bet you are right and they would straight out of my hand! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boulder colorado has much the same, as does Yasin's yard evidently. Guess what the weather is like today? You guessed it raining. It smells like I'm in a glade air freshener factory with all the rain and wildflower smells. Simply awesome. That elk will probably die in the next two weeks. I'll post pic's, got a hunter coming in about a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannji Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 We are expecting more rain here as well.... outlook calls for mold and spore counts to go through the roof.... at least it is late summer and the pollen count should be low... We get deer within a few blocks of my house (right in the middle of Davenport, Iowa) but the only thing I have caught in my yard is bunnies.... the neighborhood is simply infested with all of Peter Cottontail's cousins. Never seen a city so full of rabbits before. You can always tell when a new cat gets loose in the neighborhood, apparently cats are born thinking they are rabbit hunters. I have seen a couple lose their "virginity" in my front yard... looks fairly comical, but sounds like mass murder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 That elk will probably die in the next two weeks. I'll post pic's' date=' got a hunter coming in about a week.[/quote'] LOL. Interesting way to look at things. That is one hell of a rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 It's not that big really, probably 380 or so. Would make Boone and Crocket or Pope and Young record books, but there are bigger bulls, I saw one Thursday morning with about 8 cows, that was a 400 class bull. But is was peaking daylight and he hauled ass. Bulls like that in the picture are less dominant, but will end up with cows, the bigger bulls have more cows and are trickier to get a hunter on. They are pretty sharp though, you'd be amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Meister Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 It's obvious to me that this elk just wanted to commit suicide. He knew where to go!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
