Anyone harvest this bull????
« on: October 15, 2014, 10:21:48 PM »
Had this bull on camera for quite a few years and this year he did not come home.... :'(  Anyone know if he was harvested last year?  Easy to identify with the collar.  Hope he went to a legal hunter and not a poacher.  Also hope he didn't die of old age....if so it would be a huge waste of such a majestic animal.

Nice bull and general area? Not exact or honey hole location.

I think I killed him a few weeks ago!  Might not be the same bull but they look about the same. 

Shot him at about 5 yards with a Bowtech Experience.  Watched him go down within 20 yards.  Then as I was packing the first load of horns and meat out I had what I believe to have been a heart attack.  That was about the time I woke up!! :chuckle:

He sure is.....I looked forward to seeing him on camera this year and was sad when he didn't show up.  I was hopeful that the rut would bring him out of his hole so left cameras out.  Needless to say he never showed.  I have some nice elk on camera but this guy takes the cake.....he is huge bodied and his rack is just amazing.

This was post main rut.....I just assumed he had worked hard through Sept. fighting other bulls and mating with cows.  I will see if I have pre rut pics to compare.

If so that explains why I didn't have him on camera......He was not in the 329 unit 3 years prior.  How do you pass on a bull like this????  Not to knowledgeable about scoring bulls, but his is a wall hanger and a bull of a lifetime.

I'm curious why you would consider this bull dying of old age a huge waste? In my opinion, today's world of technology in hunting, I think its pretty rare for a bull like that to make it to old age and die naturally.

I really feel that if thats what happened, it's a wonderful thing that the bull lived a full life avoiding predators and spread his genes just like he's supposed to.  :twocents:

Totally agree.....other than I like the idea of his legacy living on while displayed in a shoulder mount.  If he died a ripe old age, I hope someone finds his rack and finds a legal way to obtain them.

You must have never eaten antler stew, its delicious.  The bigger the better, heck some guys only eat the horns and give the rest of the elk away. ;)

I agree, definitely not a huge waste.
