111 Report post Posted June 13, 2011 I went out elk scouting yesterday to see how the antler growth was looking this year. These are pics off a video camera taken yesterday June 12th. From what I see the antlers are looking pretty good for it only being mid June, what do you guys think? Overall the grass in most areas looks good, but there was a lot of dry tanks so hopefully the monsoons will come early! Anybody else have any pics from this year or reports of what kind of antler growth we should expect for this years elk and deer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesFanatic Report post Posted June 13, 2011 Nice bulls you found. I think we need some rain. The feed has been fine up to this point but we need some rain now. My opinion anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
izquik72 Report post Posted June 13, 2011 I have only seen one bull this year. He was a branch Antlered bull but nothing like the ones you are showing. Some of those might be real nice next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azpredator@work Report post Posted June 14, 2011 I am following a little over a dozen bulls and none are full 6x's yet like you have. Check out the trail camera section for more pics from this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

111 Report post Posted June 15, 2011 I thought a few of these bulls looked pretty good for it being mid June, give it another month and it will be a lot easier to tell what these bulls will end up being. If anybody else has any scouting pics of bulls over the next couple months post them up! Hopefully I'll have some luck over the next couple months and I'll be able to post some better pics!

WOODSAZ Report post Posted June 16, 2011 I went out on Tuesday night and glassed up about 7 bulls, Biggest being a little smaller than the size of that first pic. He was a ways off so it was hard to tell with him but a handfull of the other bulls were still at about a 5 point but they had big nobby ends. im sure they have a good amount of growing left to do. Its stinking dry out there though! Pray for some rain fast! Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
111 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Here's a link to check out which parts of Arizona received more precipitation over the last year! This map was as of March 21st 2011. Flagstaff Airport was at 102% of annual precipitation while the Grand Canyon was at 113% of normal. It dried out quick going east of Flagstaff, while Winslow was only at 57% of normal precip.
