370” Siouxon Bull elk

[LucasSmarrties816]

1980 Siouxon bull Boone and Crockett score @ 370”
Killed by Mark Morgan of Kalama wa.
Anyone else have experience with a Roosevelt of this caliber in the region or western wa in general?

Beautiful bull. Not to take anything away from the bulls or hunter but Roosevelt elk boundary is I-5. Anything east of I-5 is classified as a Rocky Mountain elk.

So do you think the Boone and Crocker plate is fake? Just curious because I searched the records book for this bull under his name and all the different elk categories

Agree with redi. I’m not sure when I5 became the divider for Roosie/RM elk ID but I will say that the elk in the image has a lot of RM elk characteristics

And the pictured bull is 330” tops unless those mains are 60”

I've always called them Cascade Roosevelt east of i5 and west of the Cascade range.

370 is generous judging by those pics but definitely a shooter any day of the hunt.

I think there B&C boundaries are kinda askew imo... Rimrock for example is full of Rosies... Then I've seen bulls that look more like Rocky Mtn in Storm King and Skookum... Great bull either way though! I'm sure the plaque is made at some trophy shop... Or even the taxidermist... Not some official B&C plaque...

I’m not disputing the score or trying to take away anything from the Bull. I agree the boundary is a line that elk can cross at will. Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young record books have established that boundary.

That’s a great bull (even though it’s not 370)

In the past 15 years we have only found four cascade Roosevelt bulls in that 350+ range and only been able to kill one.

One of these is from B&C the other just from google
