Doesn't look like the same bull? :dunno: :dunno:  The bull from the referenced thread has a lot more mass and less tine length from what I can see, unless its just an optical illusion from the different angles?  Both incredible bulls but it doesn't look like the same bull to me?

I feel like you want to hear that the state paid for it.
The bull is going to RMEF, so I assume they paid for it.

The picture of the mount in post one looks exactly like the sheds from two years ago, not the dead bull from this year, same Elk, but different years of antler configuration.

The bull in Bone's picture is the sheds from the G-3 bull and obviously not the original cape. It was mounted by the RMEF taxidermist and paid for by them. After I caped the G-3 bull it was decided that RMEF wanted the bull and agreed to pay for it to be mounted in exchange for having it on the RMEF elk tour next year. Unfortunately I can't compete with "free". :(

Definitely NOT the same bull. Looks like similar genetics though. Look at the bulls left side. No big flat palm.

  Yup, that's me in Las Vegas last fall at the rocky mt elk foundation elk Christmas/formally known as elk camp, I been meaning to wright up a great story about the G-3 bull since I found his sheds,  but  story telling and conveying it on paper lets just say I'm no Hershey. The elk foundation mounted them for me free of charge, although I did contact Ric about trying to come up with a cape from central Washington,  the foundation has capes donated to them for there mounts, they work off a budget and keeping costs down enable them to keep the program going.

I was in Ric's shop a day or 2 after the bull was killed. He caped him and scored him and that was it. He said the took it all and RMEF got it. Last I beard he wasn't doing the mount.
