I told myself that I would go big or go home empty with my Observatory any bull tag. Had a lot of good info given to me by other members of this site about the Umtanum. But that was just back up info in case my honey hole for the past 21 years didn't pan out. Didn't see a live elk for the first 5 days of my hunt. Helped elkcane's friend get his 4x5 bull out of a ravine on Tuesday. Then on Saturday morning with the all the general elk hunters hitting the woods, things started to look up. Saw a couple cows cross a ridge above me, the first elk I had seen in six days! Then about 20 minutes later, heard some rocks rolling, and out comes this great bull at 200 yards. He was still trotting when the 165 grain accubond from my 300 WSM went through both lungs. He ran about ten yards, and stopped broadside. The second bullet took out his heart. He walked about 3 more yards and rolled down the hill out of sight. Could hardly believe my eyes when I walked up on him.An 8x7 bull,with incredible mass! Big thanks to Jeff, Vance, Ben and Steve for helping me get that monster off the mountain! What a great hunt! Now I get to go back and help my son fill his cow tag!

Congrats, great bull! Did you happen to notice a scab or slight wound to his left front leg? I had a muzzleloader client nic a huge 7x8 that looks exactly like yours, just curious if it's the same bull. Either way, congrats.

Norse, didn't notice a wound, but then again I wasn't looking for one.

Just did a quick measure, came up with right around 350 points. I will definitely be getting this guy measured officially after the 60 day drying period.

Thanks everyone. A couple more shots from camp. I trimmed all the bloodshot meat & fat, and still ended up with 400 lbs of hanging meat at the butchers!

hunterofelk · « **Reply #40 on:** October 31, 2011, 04:50:44 PM »

I was hoping to pick up his sheds this spring. Bulls in that range of country seem to favor an extra point with the royal.
