Just had a good camping trip, was looking for an antler less elk, seen 12 elk in total. This is a muzzle loader hunt and I have till the end of the year. From what I heard once the snow gets deep the elk really move down into this area. There was very little snow.













Here are a few pictures of the trip.

Can't fool me...that ain't no elk!

Where were you exactly?! Looks like good fisher country!!!

No fishers here, this is the Cathrine Creek unit, in eastern Oregon. No Carl, didn’t have time for pictures of elk! But the mule deer are starting to rut. I seen about 20 4 point bucks. That’s 8 pointers to you white tail guys. The bigger framed deer seemed to be 4x3 but heavier wider and taller. I’ll be going back next month after a quick Mexico trip.

Definitely doesn’t look like Fisher country lol

I see conifers and I think fishers! I don’t know nuffin

Kinda an odd find

Looks like someone shot it and only took the quarters.

Cut marks are jagged, seems odd a cat wouldn’t eat the heart first.

But leave the back straps? No poacher worth their salt would leave those for the scavengers.

I agree. I bet the legs were taken for bait.

Is that the Wallowa Mountains area?
And that doe carcass looks like poacher to me, too.

That little doe was probably worth letting the state troopers know about.
