Moose Elk and Coyote, no Turks.

[Ugly Sauce]

Turkey season opened yesterday, but they ain't gobbling yet. Great day in the woods though, I jumped up three Elk, saw a moose (the moose have no fear, they look at me and just kind of wander off) and when I was calling, it looked like Coyote might come and try to eat one of my decoys, as he started heading my way, but he vanished in a small fold in the land, and never emerged. Big guy, still had his fluffy winter coat. Weather was nice, although a bit windy. Oh well, I'll start hitting it about every other day or so until they decide to start to gobble.

Yeah, I always see more wildlife out of their "season", than in. If they have had any pressure on them.

Nice photo. What's your gear there?

Yes, the elk pretty much, most of them, leave that state land during hunting season, then come back in the spring. (there is a wildlife preserve nearby where they winter) The three I saw were very "jumpy", they were laying down, and once they figured out I was a people, it was full speed ahead. I did take them a minute to figure me out as I was able to slowly squat down and remain motionless. Yeah the moose, as we can't hunt them, I see them all the time. Don't know where the turks are hanging out, saw some last time/a few days ago, two big Toms.

That is my Brown Bess "Ranger Carbine", 11 gauge/.75". Three Turks so far with that gun. Primos slate turkey call.
