It's been kind of boring in here lately, and I'm sure we've seen a lot of the pics already, but what the heck. Let's see some elk camp, elk country, elk harvest photos!

Tortilla man usually makes an appearance towards the end of our hunts, funny the things that seem funny after 2-3 weeks in the backcountry! We did have a thief in this camp however, we blamed it on a wild crafty rabbit, but now I'm wondering if Tortilla man wasn't behind it :)

Ok...Ok...it's not camp IN elk country...but in my imagination, I'm listening to bugling bulls

Rob, wow what a bull!! I never drew that tag we were talking about this winter, maybe next year!

Next year's the year! Believe me, I thank God every day that I'm a resident so I can chase elk in God's Country every year!

A friend let me hunt from his Yurt on the edge of the Flattops wilderness. I was hunting Shiras Moose but all I saw in the area was elk and bear.

I've always wanted to experience the golden aspens like I always see on the Truth Big Bulls videos. After I killed my bull in 2010 I headed North to Colorado where I spent a few days with Mike. This was taken in a small stand that we went through one day, the only real aspens in color I have been in out West.

After killing my first bull in '98 I carved a memorial in an aspen tree. I returned to the scene of the crime in 2003 and found the tree.

Believe it or not, the stomach contents from the bull I killed in '98 were still there on the ground in '03!

I've got a ton of elk camp pics, but as I scrolled through all of these cool pics you guys have posted, all I could think about is that we live in the greatest country in the world.
Where else, for nothing more than the price of the tag and gas to get there, along with a bit of boot leather, can the average citizens go and do what is shown in all of these pictures?
Great stuff guys.

That last one is about 50 yards from where I had a very nice 6x6 come running up and stop 15 yards from me - no way to even get my bow up - winded me and away he went.
These 2 wallows were just stomped.
