Saw that bull last year at Oak Creek and he looks smaller in these pictures. I'm assuming they were taken this year. I haven't been out there yet this year to see him in person. I would like to hear someone elses thought though.

I was there today. And saw the 6x6, and this bull but he was bedded down a ways away and couldn't get a good look at him.

Not many raghorns there yet, did see about 4 spikes though.

Last year the big bull liked to hang out in the upper section of the feed lot away from the other bulls. He was fun to watch come down the trail at feeding time, all the other elk were pretty quick to move out of the way. Awsome bull for our area. Hope he spread alot of genes around last Sept.

If that is him two years ago then he is going downhill. He has lost some mass and based on his body look he will not last many more years, he has that I am a seasoned veteran look!!

I remember seeing that bull the last couple of years and he was definately bigger before!  Still a hell of a bull but his extra pts were definately longer before and he had more mass.  I am looking for the biggest 5x I have ever seen.  He was where I was hunting this year and I would really like to see him up close.  He looked like a rodeo bull he was so big and his horns were dark and massive.  We saw him whip some monsters, but couldn't get close enough for a shot.

Yea it does look like the same bull, and yup looks a little smaller than the year before. I would not say he is going down hill. Remember last year we had a late winter and the feed was not the greatest. He has really good genetics maybe with a short winter and some early feed he will be able to grow them a little larger this year. He really does not look like an old elk, but he sure is a dandy. :twocents:

He looks an awful lot like a bull I saw while muzzle hunting spikes in there 3 years ago and I would say he was bigger then. He was definatly the stud of the area with about 30 cows and I watched a real nice 330 class type bull surrender about 12 cows to him with out a fight! The 330 took one look at him boogied the other way on a hurry.

Great looking bull, thanks for posting.

I killed a bull nine years ago near Packwood that was ear tagged seven months earlier in Oak Creek. #181.  I called the Bio. who was involved with the tagging and got limited info. (he was a 6x and had been tagged in mid-February.)  Those critters move futher than most think!
