I'm excited to hunt Roosies for the first time next year.  I'll be happy with anything, wow you must be stoked about that.  Congrats.

We cut 4"to 5" thick chunks of fat out of him in the field.

Beautiful Bull! Nice job!
As for the fat... Out of 13 elk Ive never really seen maybe more that .1" thick of fat on an elk before. Can they really gain that much body fat??? (Serious question) Sound like a Wal-mart elk then.  :dunno:

Likewise...never seen that much fat before on an elk except for this year my bull had a ton.  Was easy a few inches thick on his hind quarters

Thats crazy. Make it more of a pain cleaning/cutting the meat? What about taste? More fat more flavor? Either way great food!

I should have taken picks of the fat chunks.  My hunting partner who has many, many, elk kills under his belt said he had never seen anything like it as we were cleaning it out.  Below is another photo of him that shows his body size a little better.


lol yeah looks more chubby that way. Real nice bull man! Congrats!!!!
