No tell um creek!
I will be hunting in the Text Creek zone! That is all you need to know!
I do feel a 260 class bull is a shoote,but there are somenice 350 class bulls running around the Diamond Creek zone. But there are also a lot and I mean a lot of hunters in thatzone. I am use to Central Idaho where we had few hunters and a lot of big bulls. Well the wolves have now ruined that for us.

Amen to all those hunters in Diamond Creek. Sure is alot of them. I have noticed that they are still like most however, lazy and stay near the roads. Fine by me! Idahoelk- I like that.. umm creek, yep, I hunt there too!
I would agree that a 260 in that unit is a shooter, but bigger bulls to exist. We usually set our sites on a 6x6 or big 5x5 and just use that as our criteria. With my LE hunt here in Utah, this year anything with horns will get an arrow. Last year we chased a 350 class bull to the point we pass on a few others we probably shouldn't have!
Remember to have fun and enjoy it either way.

I took some video of a dandy bull in 76 a couple years ago while deer hunting. I guessed it at about 400. definatly the biggest I've ever seen. Maybe I can pull a still off the video to post. The video just don't do it justice though, too hard to see the tine length.

elknut, you got that right, desperate! I have been gearing up on your videos, and counting down the days for Labor Day weekend, can't wait to throw the "threat" on those bulls, Good Luck also on the Elk Hunting,
