Now what?

Is the pic real or photoshopped?

go4itlab · « **Reply #2 on:** November 15, 2009, 04:31:40 AM »

I think it is real I found it on outfitters out of Wyoming web sight. You can see blood on the rocks right next to where the guy is standing. Looks like where it face piled in

That original pic looks like it was the same bull from a hunting show. Guys couldn't find it for a while, then... good thing they had half dozen, or so, helpers.

LongTat that's exactly what I was thinking. Call in MEDIVAC and airlift it out of there.

New definition to in a tight spot!!

Have fun with that one..

Similar situation. I BELIEVE that they were only able to salvage portions of this bull since it kept falling deeper into the crevasse. I cannot confirm it though.

isn't it funny that they never die in spots like these on those "hunting" shows. always dead with the legs and head all layed out nicely

Well, at least they can get to the backstraps.

Thanks for posting the pics!!!

I saw a situation similar to the first pic on the Outdoor network. They had enough room to get a guy underneath the bull and gut it from there. It made it a lot lighter, and could then use log pole pines to lever it out. It was either a female shooter, or female guide. They found another guide in the area to help with lifting it out.

Saw that show. It was a female guide. They called in a half dozen other guys and they "levered" it out of there with logs, ropes, and pulleys. Was fun to watch them figure out how to do it.

That first pic was from a Realtree video. That is Miachal Waddell in the picture if im not mistaken. Yes its real. Bad luck right there!

steen · « **Reply #18 on:** November 21, 2009, 09:56:36 PM »

I saw a hunt on TV that ended like that. Could be the same bull.

actionshooter · « **Reply #19 on:** November 21, 2009, 10:23:31 PM »

The 2nd set of photos is a year or 2 old and if I remember right, the meat couldn't be salvaged.

alanger · « **Reply #20 on:** November 23, 2009, 08:31:59 AM »

tough situation. that would definately suck and only be able to salvage parts of the elk.
