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.

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

What do you think?

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

Judging by the way he crowns off at the top and his large body size would you say he has some Roosevelt genes in him? I'm told that most of the elk on the east side are Rocky Mountain or at least a crossbreed.

Nice. Can't wait to get out west.

All I can say is WOW!

His body looks like a Holstein, just massive. Every once in a while you see an animal that is a physical specimen.

The first time I saw him on the hoof I was in shock...
I bet his live body weight was double the MT bull I killed earlier this year.

This bull may have similar genes and also looks like an old warrior. I posted a few other pics of him in another trail cam thread.
