So Today I took pictures of the two antler sheds that Steve picked up in his meadow. The smaller one was from last year and the larger one, of course from this year. Same bull elk just a year apart. The picture of the bull facing the camera was our bull in winter 2007/2008 the side shots are the same bull this winter. Last winter he broke a tine sparing with another bull, I have pictures of that sparing match.
Last year we were fortunate enough to be able to watch 7 bulls throughout the winter. This year we only had two return, the 4 point from last year, and a bull calf. The 4 point was a much bigger 5 point this year and the bull calf was a small spike. We had to wonder what became of the 6 point herd bull that wintered over last year. Possibly in a freezer, along with the several other bulls that did not return. We also had to wonder what the 6 point might have looked like this year had he shown up.
