You have a date/time stamp and LOC for that?

I hope you understand that I do not desire to share the exact location of the land. The date stamp and time is 7/8/2023 (I have the year wrong on my camera) but it was obviously 2022 at 6:31 AM.

We have elk in every county and a statewide season. The zones are controlled by a quota. It might be a good idea to check quotas before you head out for a hunt. Wonder if we all need to pony up and hav our elk license purchased? Looks like a resident tag is $51.

Check this out which was captured yesterday morning in one of my cameras.

South central Oklahoma about ten miles off I-35.

Very cool! A niece of a friend of mine shot a good bull in that area around 7-8 years ago IIRC. I believe there are plans to introduce elk to the west side of the interstate sometime soon.

This may sound crazy but didn’t that population start from Jimmy Houston’s private herd? Just something I had heard a long time ago

I agree and I did when I saw the picture. I could not imagine seeing one while hunting.

This is an area with zero elk history of the years I have had cameras and have never seen one before while out on the land. It was a nice surprise for sure.

There was one hit on I-40 just west of Yukon probably 20 years ago. Comer was still the game warden at the time. Then about 4 or 5 years ago, I caught one about this size on a trail cam just NW of Piedmont. Only had one picture of him and no one else ever reported seeing him.

First fawn picture for this year, and it’s got a double white throat patch too.

You can see the growth weekly…

Really nice big boy. They are sure growing fast and a lot more than what I have seen. Nice!
