One of those 365 days governor's tags? Normally I'd say wait til he is hard horned but that'd be a fun mount to have hanging on the wall. Really cool elk.

They generally fill that tag on velvet bulls because that’s when they can pattern them really well before the rut has them running all over and possibly getting busted up.

It’s way too far from elk hunting to start seeing giant bulls hitting the dirt! Amazing bull! :tup:

I'm no expert or anything but I wonder how much growing he had left in the last few weeks of summer before he shed the velvet.

Bulls are pretty much done growing now and will be stripping velvet usually within a couple weeks. They’re about a month ahead of deer.

I know imagine how cool he would have looked out of velvet! I guess they had to get him before someone else?

Pretty sure this would have been last year's tag holder.  I believe the season runs from August 15, 2018 to August 14, 2019.  Last year was a drought year, so makes sense they would have waited til the end.

:yeah: Anybody know what the going price is for a tag like that? I’d imagine it’s quite spendy.
