Nice chocolate antlers.

I noticed that as well. Much darker and more chocolate-y than we see here in South Dakota or Wyoming. Wonderful color!

I have worked up in Chelan. I love the area.
Had a sub contractor up there that made the claim that in that area, they only allow general hunters to shoot spikes. Only special tag holders could shoot branch antlered bulls. Is that fact?

Very much depends on the area, but in general, yes.

Awesome pictures! it is a bummer that the GMUs with lots of elk are spike or true spike only.

Great pics! They never pose like that in hunting season!

Well, I only shot 'em with my camera. There wasn't much light, so I had to use a slow shutter speed. Found these rascals in Chelan County, Washington:

Thought I'd share.

Thanks for sharing love seeing elk especially in my state Are the Roosevelt's or Rocky Mountain elk there?

My wife was driving through the Sprague area on the freeway store Tri-Cities last winner and had about 100 + elk cross in front of her out in the sagebrush. Kind of funny I never see nothing when I have to do that drive to Tri-Cities from Spokane. Finally saw a few mule deer last Sunday on the drive though it's always nice to see the critters

Ok...now I'm jealous...lol. Now I gotta get in better physical condition and look to the west for a hunt...yup I'd have to have a guide.

That, to me, is crazy. Seems like the biggest bulls will continue to inbreed, not being able to be taken out to allow the gene pool to deepen.

Lucky boys made it through the late hunt.
