With all the talk about the 451 bull it got me thinking. What is the largest bull ever taken on public land.

The Shipsey bull at 505 gross I beleive. Couldnt be enterd because it was called using an electric call I beleive.

The thought of a 500 bull just blows me away. I still think a 300 bull is huge.

After handling a bunch of 360 to 407 inch bulls , 300 dont look so big anymore until reality sets in come hunting season

They're always bigger on the hoof and on the pack out.

Buck what was the score of the bull at your house on the pedestal???

bucklucky · « **Reply #7 on:** May 28, 2008, 08:19:10 PM »

396 or 397 gross, something like that.

A 200 inch bull is big for me

Jackjr · « **Reply #8 on:** May 28, 2008, 08:22:58 PM »

any bull is good for me

rosscrazyelk · « **Reply #9 on:** May 28, 2008, 08:59:26 PM »

When you have shot alot of spikes like I have any branched bull looks good

Jackjr · « **Reply #10 on:** May 28, 2008, 09:02:18 PM »

I wonder what the largest scoring spike would be

M_ray · « **Reply #11 on:** May 28, 2008, 09:11:07 PM »

They're all big as far as I'm concerned!

Never hunted them so honestly Id think a spike would be extremely large! lol

Well, when you are used to gutting a deer, they certainly are when you walk up to them. Then you go moose hunting.....

I hear you Bone. I have been on many a moose kill and those things are huge..

bucklucky · « **Reply #18 on:** May 30, 2008, 08:27:29 AM »

Heres more on the Shipsey Bull. This bull was killed on the San Carlos in 1997. The gross score is 502 6/8 and netted 487 and is a non-typical 9x9.I have a book calledThe golden age of elk hunting by John Caid that I bought at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation show in Reno about 5 years ago. It has hundreds of pictures of monster bulls and a story for most of them. Pretty cool read.

A 300 bull is big in my book.
Dealin w/ a moose is a whole other ball-O-wax. They put a whole other spin on logistical nightmare. I can't fathom how hard it'd be to handle 1 by yourself. Hell, it took me and another guy over an hour and a half to clean one and we had a come along.

Pretty much have to crawl inside ne of them big alaskans to cut the esophogus. I bet that a huge pile of guts!!
