2021 Bull Elk Scouting Photo Contest - Daypack for Winner!

Founder · Jul 17, 2021

How about a fun elk scouting photo contest?!?!

Share with us some of your scouting photos for a chance to WIN a nice daypack! Our friends at Bad Ass Outdoor Gear have got a Badlands Superday to give away to one of you who shares a cool 2021 Bull Elk Scouting Photo.

Feel free to post 8 or 10 or so of your best summer scouting photos for the contest, but post them in separate posts, as only the first photo in each post shows up as a thumbnail above. The photo needs to be from this year. I trust you.
Share a little detail about the pics too!

We'll run the photo contest for a few weeks and then I'll randomly pick a winner. Each photo shared will count as one entry and every 10 reactions that your photo gets will get an extra entry. Just a fun contest. We all love seeing the photos.

Thanks to Bad Ass Outdoor Gear for donating the prizes for the contests and PLEASE everyone, when you're in the market to upgrade your gear, please shop Bad Ass Outdoor Gear and give them a chance to earn your business for good. They've got a large selection of hunting gear for you to look through.

Here's the prize that's up for grabs.

Here's some early season bulls that are off to a good start.
This one looks like he's going to be wide.

ridgetops · Jul 17, 2021

Love the devil tines on this one.

ridgetops · Jul 17, 2021

I love the mass on this one.

ridgetops · Jul 17, 2021

And I really like the looks of this one.
He's off to a great start.

Drew a HAMS this year. The top bull is the first bull I came across and so far only one that I'd shoot. Picture isn't good due to being over a mile away and holding phone with my hand with no phone skope.

This is the first bull to show up at a spring in the area I've spent the most time in. Not big enough for sure.

Found these 2 bulls at first light the other day, not great pictures, but awesome bulls. Sadly no tag for the unit they was in.

I know this is not eligible for the contest because it was 2020 but I thought I'd share it for fun. Fatrooster.

Crappy old cam but a funny pic.

Elk photobombing bird or vice versa? Fun summer of scouting so far.

Finally got the 6 point bull on camera just after watering. This is the same one in the first post in the scope from a distance. This trough is empty and water is in the bottom behind this bull.

Took this video on 7-11-21. Slowed it down to get better look at all of his angles.

Will be checking cams this week.

Been watching this bull for the past several years and always look for to see how he finishes out every year. I’ve nicknamed him stubs due to the short 5th.

Another great Utah bull that I’ve been keeping tabs on for a number of years. This big 5pt. is known as #whips

3 of the 4 bulls we found yesterday. Road trip with the family to scout for my cow elk hunt. These guys were out for a noon snack. Horrible smoke.

Coolest bull I've seen in a few years. Crazy is I have tags in Utah, Wyoming and Montana this year. Acutally another tag from AZ that will be using point guard on.

May have to make the low rider extra a priority

Hope everyone is making the best of the smoke inferno to find some of the dandy's that are growing out there this year. The more I experience these crazy years the more I'm convinced that with just enough water and feed, the hot dry ones produce the biggest critters !!!

Just my $0.02 I'll hang my hat on

Cheers, Pete
