How's this for an Elk turd!?

[steeliedrew]

While everyone was feverishly typing away on the Governors Tag thread and or watching the football game I was actually out hunting elk. 

Anyhow, in my travels I came across this triumphant Bastid: 



That's a size 10.5 boot for reference.

[grundy53]

That looks like it hurt.

[2labs]

It's dead.

[steeliedrew]

It's dead.

pics or it didn't happen. 

 

[RadSav]

Think I got a picture of the guy that left that!

[full choke]

haha!!! I was picturing something like that when I walked up on it. Coulda been a manbearpig also. 

[2labs]

Dang Rad, that's a cool critter.

[WapitiTalk1]

That's a trophy turd right there.... something the author has a right to be proud of 

[Smokepole]

Did you green score it?   

[2labs]

Built for the tape, don't see a lot of deductions

[dreamunelk]

Isn't that what happens when a bull hits it a little high?   

[steeliedrew]

Did you green score it?   

  I seriously laughed out loud a little when I read that.

[WapitiTalk1]

I've heard of long arming, but if the boot shown is from your 6 year old son, well... that's just dishonest

Haha. I don't think Kuiu makes pants that small. 

[NOCK NOCK]

Just think of the gas bubble that pushed that one out.....Todays forecast is for high winds 

[pianoman9701]

How did it taste, fresh or not?

[deerhunter_98520]

Is it hanging on ur wall?

[steeliedrew]

Is it hanging on ur wall?

Na. Couldn't afford the Taxi bill so close to Christmas.

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

So did you see the beast that layed  the log?

[deerhunter_98520]

after the 60 day drying period you should be good to go..no taxi necessary

I agree, this trophy turd needs, no deserves a place above your mantel!

Not unless it came from one of the two cows I was on when I found it. Spotted them bedded in a cut a good mile away at 1:00pm. 1:20 and I was working my way up a creek bed to cover my movement and had closed to 160 yards.  Wind was swirly so I didn't want to get closer until they moved. 2:00pm they got up and unfortunately started feeding towards the timber opposite of where I was set up. So as a last ditch effort I crawled on hands and knees through the clear cut keeping what stumps I could between me and them. I closed to 60 yards before they busted out. Windy enough that they didn't hear me but it's probable they winded me or saw my pack moving around as I was crawling.  It was a fun, adrenaline packed couple of hours at least.

What nickname did you give this guy, Lumpy?  Definitely not "Krusty 2" although "2"  or "deuce" isn't a stretch, I mean some stretching was obviously involved.  Man did this thread take a tur   n.

Wait...before we go any further with nicknames...I need to know if someone killed this turd and pics or it didn't happen.

If you PM me the general area you found this I can let you know if it is the same one I saw and confirm if it is dead.  It looks like it only migrated a few feet in elevation to where you found it.

[2labs]

Dead

[Rainier10]

Dead

Man he is all broke up in the photo, I would love to the masher that he ran into.

[2labs]

And don't start the high fence,farm raised, special draw, gov.tag paid for access crap!
That's free range, fair chase, public lands and over the counter. Just takes scouting and hard work!
I'm out.

[The scout]

that's a dandy! no ground shrinkage there

[Rainier10]

Careful who you take that to for the mount.  If you don't use the right tannery they won't be able to stretch it over the form and you won't be happy with the outcome.

Lol!

Lol! 

I bet he can thin its hide out on a fleshing machine and get a little more stretch out of it 

[Fullabull]

I'm surprised you didn't hear whatever lade that screaming as that came out. He our she needs more roughage!

[Skillet]

Where's the umbilical cord??

[Dan-o]

The rut must be late.

Look how swollen it is.
