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!

Nice.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

That is simply amazing... I am in awe.
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

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...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

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.
Disappointments are inevitable, misery is optional.
