B&C boundaries for today... I can't find boundaries for 1980... But guessing it was cut down the middle of the Cascades pretty much... They said it's been moved multiple times... I remember the PCT being a boundary at one point... I'm thinking that bulls 340"ish... Could very well be a rosie... That's so hard to tell from the look... B&C just started accepting them in 1979... And they got it done up for someone... Who knows the story... Probably a joke for a friend or family... The 300 series gmu's that border the Cascades are full of rosies and crossbreeds... Just like the benchlegs...

There were some big bulls in the Soiuxon in the early 80’s - because most of the unit was closed due th the eruption of Mount St Helens in May 1980.

Boone and Crockett doesn't engrave a plate for you.  They send you a certificate.  Someone had that plate made.  Also, just because it was scored by B&C standards doesn't mean that it was officially scored or entered in the books.  Most likely Mr. Morgan shot a stomper of a bull elk (that he believed was a Roosevelt), had someone score it (or scored it himself), came up with 370" and when he had it mounted, he had a plate made to commemorate it.  He was also smart enough to put his wife's name on the plaque for her role in harvesting the bull.  Smart man.

Either way; it's a beautiful bull (I agree with most of you that it appears to have more Rocky characteristics than Roosy-but who knows  :dunno: ), I would absolutely have gotten him mounted, and if putting my wife's name on a plaque would have convinced her to let me hang it in the living room, I'd have done that too....
