hopefully he passed on those genes to many cows this september

He probably did that for several years.

Cool, I hope they display that somewhere for everyone to see!

Wonder what that thing scores.  Fronts are good, thirds and fourths are in the 20" range, long and wide, good mass...has to be over 400", but by how much?

I am no expert on scoring elk but I am REALLY not an expert when it comes to big freaks like that.  I can guess up to about 330" and then it all looks the same to me   :chuckle:  huge bull though, I don't see how it couldn't be 420"   :dunno:

I had him at about 380 last year when I saw him.   Not sure if it is the pic but he looks like his stickers are a little longer but he lost a little mass. :dunno:

yeah good call on the mass being average, still though if he's ~380 then those fronts must be underwhelming compared to how they look...I'd like to see a view of the back.  I love the crowns.

What car? It blew up into smithereens and scattered all over *poof*  :yike:

Sad a bull like that is gone, but I also hope the people are okay.

That's amazing that the rack wasn't busted up....

Then to think that they DO break when they fight   :yike:

Elk are strong critters you could say.

I have a feeling I underestimated him last year, though I don't think he was as long.

If that was roadkill and he "harvested" the antlers, I'd probably suggest taking the pic off facebook.

Nice bull by the way
that pic is at the fish and wildlife office in ellensburg.
