A walk in the woods!

Sunday me and the Hartford decided to go out and get some fresh air and exercise. Went up into the Big Snowies in central MT. Although I came home empty handed, I could have scored in a big way had the moon and stars been in the right alignment. I found myself face to face with one of the biggest bull elk I have seen for sometime. Had him standing at 100 yds. Only one big problem! Yep, limited draw area. All I could do was drool and fantasize. But had he had some girls with him, I would have been in business. Actually the purpose of my outing was to check out whitetail activity and see if there was any signs of rut activity yet. I did get a glimpse of one whitey that might have been worth dropping the hammer on. But lots of time to the season yet. No rush.
I did find this 5 pt bull that had a bad day. Mountain lion? Wolves? Don't know as I could find no tracks. However, the bears were eating good as several big piles of crap were around the carcass, one of which is visible in foreground of picture.
