Last pictures of an Eastern WA Giant
« on: October 18, 2013, 12:01:31 PM »
I posted a couple pictures in the elk hunting forum, but had to post these ones in the trail cam section.

I have been after this bull for 3 seasons and finely shot him with my muzzle loader on Oct 8th.
It was very bitter sweet knowing I would never get trail cam pictures of him ever again.
So when I went to pull a camera on Oct 10th I was VERY happy to see one last set of pictures of him.  :tup:

I still cant get over how his body makes his antlers look so much smaller, he was a GIANT bodied elk!

Big, old, heavy bull.  Has he lost any length over the past couple of years?  He does look like a kissin' cousin to Cory's bull...

I think in places he has lost length, but he has also gained mass..
I believe last year would of been his highest scoring year :twocents:

What do you think?

Congrats on a tremendous bull, that bull and Cory's do have some strong similarities.
