Incredible bull and story. Any one know the habits of the bull? Mostly lived on private or public? It just seems surreal a bull can live to be that big. A bull of dreams.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

They can live a long time when it is spike only and special permit for big bulls. Especially when there is so few quality bull tags to be had.

Well not really, when the tribes are targeting them

The tribes typically get the ones within site of a road. There is a lot of ground in this state that has limited access and even more that is private where these bruits can hide for a longtime.

It has long been said that the big ones don’t migrate all the way out and they don’t come to the feeding stations. Just goes to show you that even though you see some hogs at the feeding stations and with the cows in winter there is still some big ones that you haven’t seen.

Yeah the guy holding the sheds is most likely the one who got the finders fee for the bull this year, probably just added the sheds to the bill.

Yeah I would be “good buddies” with someone who just paid me a ton of money for a bull’s location and horns. Not saying that’s the case here, but not every story is as it seems every time.

But you are definitely casting aspersions that it was big money making friends in this case,  aren't you?

It's not big money every time, but agreed that it often is. However, if @coachcw said it's not in this case, I'm betting is not.

You killed a masher buck this fall - why you mad, bro?  It just comes across like sour grapes on your end, and it's comments like these that further reinforces people not wanting to post up pics.

Who drove the tractor to move it?🤔
someone always has to have something negative to say. And then wonder why people don’t post pics of truly incredible animals.

I just asked who drove the tractor?  That thing was big enough to need one, why are you so defensive?

...and the picture is all over every channel of social media...

I’m not mad at all, that’s an incredible bull. (And honestly elk don’t mean near as much to me as mule deer) like I said, I’m not saying that he paid someone for the horns. I just said, there’s often more to the story than what people will say. Whether there is on this bull or not, I honestly don’t really care. As long as it was killed legally, which it sound like it was, I have 0 problem with it. Whether it was spot and stalk, shot on hay, or shot in someone’s backyard, it doesn’t matter. It was a free range bull that he killed with a bow. That is a feat in itself, but he killed the biggest of all time. Anyone can say “well if I had the money…” which may be true or not, but he has put himself in positions to kill giant bulls time after time and continues to make them count. For those that don’t know, that was his 12th 400”+ bull. So obviously he’s doing something right, governors tag or not.

So in short, I’m not “salty” or a “sour grape”, I’m just saying, if someone paid me big money for some horns off a 200”+ buck I was chasing, I’m assuming I would be friends with them too. Maybe that sounded wrong on my first reply, but that’s what I meant.

My phones been blowing up from friends who do the instagram Facebook thing. Amazing elk figured there would be a good thread on this site. Do we know if it was actually from sw wa? Ive heaed rumours of it being out of the teanaway/clockum. And do we just assume this was on private land? Not that it matters but I love getting all the little details/drama about such an amazing animal from our state

Such an awesome bull, what a dream! I saw A pic of him eating off a flake of hay tho, next to plowed snow like a driveway 🤔 heard rumor he was shot eating off a pile of apples 🤷‍♂️ I would love to hear the actual story, regardless, he’s incredible! I’d shoot him off bait too  :chuckle:
