Have you seen this bull? I've seen a crappy picture of it and it sure doesn't look like 400 to me but it could be the crummy picture I got. It's a great bull but I was thinking 350 maybe. Admittedly I'm not an expert scorer but I can usually tell 350 from 400. It's an outstanding bull either way and I don't want my comment to be taken wrong. I just was wondering if it really was 400".

Rosies are technically WEST of I-5. Most of the west side is Rocky Mt elk. Unless you count Cascade rosies...I'm not sure B&C does :dunno:

B&C has no class for a Cascade Roosevelt. It's either a Rocky or a Roosevelt.
That Mt. Adams bull is a Rocky per B&C.

Roosevelt’s elk are acceptable from Del Norte, Humboldt and Trinity Counties, California, as well as that portion of Siskiyou County west of I-5 in northern California; from west of Highway I-5 in Oregon and Washington; from Vancouver Island, B.C.; and from Afognak and Raspberry Islands of Alaska. The Alaskan animals are the result of a successful transplant from the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. To date no trophies from Alaska have been entered that reach the current all-time records book minimum score of 290. Most of the entered trophies to date have come from coastal Oregon and Washington, with a smaller number from Vancouver Island.



http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgRecords/records_boundaries.asp?area=bgRecords (http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgRecords/records_boundaries.asp?area=bgRecords)

NW Big Game Records does have a classification for Cascade Roosevelt Elk, same with Cascade Blacktails.

There is a website that lists trophy categories and they do seem to differentiate between cascade and other westside animals.  They do this with elk and deer.

Hmmm interesting..seems harsh to compare a Winston bull to a daton bull but I guess that's how it goes..

I wish there was a category for DIY, public land,OTC elk...an maybe move the I5 boundary east based on genetics

My buddy got a nice 6 point in the Yale unit years ago. Typical rosie, however we were 10 miles east of I-5 and his bull was scored as a Rocky Mt. Had we been West of I-5 it would have made B&C.     Location, location, location

Maybe she and her husband don't want a bunch of Internet trolls putting in for that permit now that had no idea of the quality it held prior to that picture being posted. I'll bet that you see the number of applicants for that hunt go up next year. And the number of general season report chasers in the unit will be up as well.

Perhaps. But this is all under the assumption the OP of the pic did not have permission. And while I agree that pics shouldn't be shared without permission, I am also a realist when it comes to todays data sharing devices, and would be willing to bet pics were flying around behind the scenes last time the conversation of this bull came up.

Does anyone on here know her?  If so would that person know if when taking car of the animal if she found either arrow or broadhead in this animal? This would have been from a full year prior so probably grissled over if this was the same animal.  Just curious.  Probably an extreme long shot......but those big sweeping eye guards aren't on that many Adams bulls.......especially with the rest of the antler behind them.

Thanks for any info

Well that's where l was curious about.  Right behind the front left shoulder and he looks clean as a whistle in the rib area.  That's a neat pic.  Looks like a half a beef at the butcher.  He looks like Excellent eating!  Congrats to the hunter on a bull of a lifetime!

Nice bull.  It always amazes me seeing whole animals in the back of rigs.  I've never had the luxury that I could get a truck close enough to a downed animal, nor have the energy to lift one up there.  Nice work!
