Large Game Pics - Deer, Moose, Bear...

Well I figured it was time to get some hunting done on the Diamond jubilee weekend:

I used a Voere 9mm Rimfire as the airgun wasnt quick enough and the .410 was too loud;

Trail cam pics so far this spring (taken in WMU49). Those calves are going to be outweighing that buck pretty soon, lol

Hey Thylacoleo, cool pics! Whereabouts are you located in Aus? I'm moving over there with my mrs in February and since non-residents can only get a 3-month firearms permit I'd like to be smack dab in the middle of deer country while I'm there.
 
Out scouting this morning on an old haul road, look up to see a couple of cow elk about 100 yards away, coming at me at a pretty good pace. Just enough time to get off the trail into the regen and get my camera out.

First cow came level with me, and quick left turn into the bush on the other side of the trail. She must have smelled me. The three or four cows with her followed her into the bush.

Another group of 4 or 5 cows stopped about 40 metres to my left, milled around for a bit, then off into the bush.

And then another small group stopped in the same spot, and immediately headed into the bush. This group had the bull in it--I only got a glimpse but it didn't look like a six point (the only legal elk in this management unit).

None of them were legal, but that's as close as I've been on foot to an elk, let alone a dozen or so, and the sound as they came pounding down the road was impressive. Definitely got me stoked for hunting season to open on Monday.
 
Ok folks. I know some seasons are opened, and I know there have been successes. Please help a fellow CGNer live vicariously by posting your hunting pics. I won't make it home to hunt at all this year for the first time :(
