pew pew. Elks is some tasty meat. I wish we had elks running around here. All we got are whitetails and deadtails on the interstate.

Great shots. How old do you figure a bull like that would be?

I wonder how many have drowned doing that.

On my last Canadian fishing trip, there was a moose carcass in the water about a quarter mile from the cabin. Best guess is that he broke through the ice and drowned about 30' from shore.
That is a beautiful animal, Willie.

I wonder if you could make a pet out of one of those?

Look in his eyes, Butch. You see that? That's all survival instinct there. No way would an animal like that ever allow himself to be kept.

I'm talking about raising one from a baby, NOT capturing a grown adult, lol!

I've known a few people that have raised red fox kits that were orphaned .They will forever remain wild and have the wild instincts irregardless of being in proximity with humans .
The problem with getting a baby anything wild and raising them in captivity is they trust humans too much . Even the fox kits developed a little trust around the people they were familiar with . A little testy around people they didn't know though .
To release a captive is about the same as giving it a death sentence .

And so many people don't realize that.
The secret to raising wild critters is you can have only ONE. If there are two or more they will never really bond with you because they realize they are different. When they are alone they think they are human critters and become domesticated much easier.

Wild animals are amazing but they make lousy pets.

My God would I be excited to see that monster bull in my crosshairs.
I've seen many bulls that big... just not when I'm hunting for them.
