Elk pictures

These are some elk pictures I took sometime ago.

Dori found this little fawn and took its picture.

This is a little buck that Dori took the other day

This is getting boring...just more pictures of bucks. When in a little while the horns will fall off and then it is not as easy to tell the bucks for the does. There is getting to be not too many deer left in Utah. It is time to shut the hunting seasons down for a couple of years and build the herd back. But that would mean no or little money for the Fish & Game to buy more pickups and people to ride around it them. Or they could just got to a total lottery with very few permits and build a herd again.
I can remember the the 1980s in Nevada they went to lottery on all permits. This resulted in a great increase in the deer heard. I can remember on hunting season I saw 68 head of buck and did not fire a shot. Did not find the one I was looking for. There were some pretty good bucks in Nevada at that time. What they did worked. Nothing beats success like success.

There are 2 bucks hiding in the sagebrush

I like to see large sagebrush. The fine example is between the loading chute and the cabin at the Wolf Den ranch. I wish I was a man of sufficient means to own a place like the Wolf Den. I would probably not come to town very often. There would be not need. I can live with all of the China made gadgits and dodads that you find at Walmarts.

The branches with lichen on them in the foreground are in focus....to bad the buck is not. He was a nice buck anyway.

It is getting dark and took this one with the flash

Caught this little buck in midair

The bigger buck looks on while another spooks and leaves the area.

A young 2 point checks out the area.

It is getting almost too dark to get a picture. This is the same buck as in the last picture.

This a nice buck, tall and slender

Caught this one as it was taking it easy

I believe that the wheel will have to be repaired in time for Spring plowing.
