WA State Record Non Typical Bull Elk.

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

Was at the Tualitin OR Cabelas and got to see this beast of a bull elk on display. It was shot 9/3/2008 by a fella named Dan. 436 4/8 inches of bone!!!! Thought it is a super good mount. I thought I'd share for folks that don't make it that way to often.

Yeah, that's Agnew's bull.  Antlers look a little goofy on that mount to me?  Tipped forward to much and to far forward on it's head.    

I think that's a replica mount too.  He had that bull mounted as a shoulder mount at the Portland sportsman's show back in early 2009.

The mount from the shoulder up looks funny to me.  The antlers are set weird and as said above, more than likely reproductions.  The color is nothing like the original.

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

That is interesting how the antlers are set? I'd like to take a euro mount and hold it up to it for reference? Just to see the difference. Never thought it would be a replica? But again if that was my bull the true set of antlers would not be far out of my site....

I think cabelas does a lot of replicas now.  I wish they wouldn't.

Something is defi itely off about that mount. I saw it in october. Looks screwed up.

Mount choice ruins a WA Legend.

It's true that they use some replica's but few and far between. I know that they strive to get local mounts to place in their stores to go along with the murals and such that are also themed from local area's.

Can anybody pull the pick of that bull that was posted here and stick it next to one of the above as a comparison?

The problem is that the horns need to be laid back a touch ..they are to straight up and down ..other than that , that's one hell of a mount 

[steeleywhopper]

Nice bull, goofy looking mount.

[jackelope]

Definitely a replica.

I agree with the rest of you. As soon as I looked at it I thought. Beautiful mount. Then I looked at the horns and thought. That aint right! How did they do such a good job on the form and hide and screw up the placement of the horns?
