Elk Shedding Pictures!

I'm going to give this a shot. I have a series of 4 pictures showing before during and after. Please remember I'm an amateure photographer who was practically in shock at the time!

This is the bull about 5 minutes before he shed:

Here is the second antler in the air:

This photo is a little dark but it shows the blood red pedicles and the second antler is laying behind him:

This last photo shows the two antlers where they fell:

If anyone wants to use these, please email me first at: [email protected]

I'm a little dissapointed at how they scanned - the actual photos are a little more clear and sharp. Anyway, enjoy!

Re: Elk Shedding Pictures!

I'm having a terrible time with this and I gotta hit the road. The pictures are in my member gallery on this site. Can someone else go in there and post them for me? They are under whitetailtrax. If that's not possible, I will try to deal with it tonight when I get back in town. Hope the wait is worth it.....

Re: Elk Shedding Pictures!

I was taking the pictures from the road, looking down and across a small drainage at the bull. There were 3 other bulls in the general area. I did not want to disturb the bulls and so I left for several hours to go watch wolves etc. in the park. When I returned, some @$$ had picked them up already. I really wanted to get some close-ups, but didn't happen. I have a feeling there are people down there who feel it's worth it to take the risk...it's a shame. I'm guessing the bull was in the 320 range give or take - nice but not huge!
