I'm in shock.  Good Lord Almighty - I'm starting to feel that a true stud bull elk is again attainable in Washington.  Between BuckLucky, Bowsandhose, etc. last year and the studs showing up this year - wow!

I believe some guy name rougheye and nwhunter shot some  monster bulls too..

We need to keep our lips sealed so out of staters don't start showing up and making our draw odds harder than they already are.
If its brown knock it down

Bone, are you for real  

Just pinched myself, Yep I'm for real. :)  Had a good tip, but couldn't connect.  One more ramification of hitting a big black cow.

by the way...think he goes a tad over 340 ;)

looks definitely well over 340, lots of scorable horn there....outstanding bull....

Tell us more about the rifle!!  Nice build!  Powder?  Bullet?
