I have one of best hunters on here looking at rams . If we find the right one we may be dodging snakes, I'm really looking forward to all three ruts aswell. I know what I'm looking for in a bull so it could happen on the first of Septor the 31st of dec. We pasted 65 plus bulls on shootems hunt so we can hold out. I really believe the buck will the toughest to harvest the right one.

We know whitpirate is a great cook but he hasn't cooked a sheep so I hope he is up for the challenge

has anyone seen a giant bull that smells like smoke ?
-
Well it's time to get serious. We have put eyes on 20 to 30 good bulls three that where shooters with almost any tag. You buddy's have been super supportive and now the woods are going crazy with love struck elk. Back out tomorrow .
-
I need more vacation days! :chuckle:
-
I think a bull is going down this weekend! If I see another 370 plus bull walk Im going to need meds!!
Good thing we gave a Trauma Surgeon in camp this weekend!!!
Shoot It!!!!!!!!
Rtspring
-
We passed a 8x8 last night. On a herd with two 350 starlight bulls
-
hope the trauma surgeon has his defib paddles charged up for RT!!!! :chuckle:
-
dang, what did the 8x8 score?
-
dang, what did the 8x8 score?
Alot!!!

you guys have one bigger scouted out than the 8x8 or something? :)

Cant wait to hear this one. :tup: :drool: 9x9????
Sounds like you are going to kill a pig.
-
Had to leave the guys early today because of a little business travel but they are still hard at it. Got on a possible shooter yesterday but he is a smart old bull. The 8x8 that coach passed up is a satellite bull of this herd bull. Left him be after the morning and hit up a different area. Saw a big 7x7 and a beautiful 350+ 6x6! Coach is a patient man! My tag would have been filled by now! Lol. This is a crappy scope pic of the 7x7. Heat waves were really bad. I need a phonescope bad! Hoping they lay eyes on the herd bull this morning. Hate to waste anymore time hunting a bull that isn't "the one".
-
I really wish I was calling elk, not sitting in Seatac :chuckle: :bash:
-
that's the satalite :yike: I don't know how anyone could pass that bull....can't wait to see the big one
-
I will let coach update but, he got in on the herd bull with cows and could only see the great fronts the bull had, he said he was ready to drop the hammer but chose to wait!
With peak rut just starting he is waiting for just the right moment. He is crazy patient!! No big bulls in washington? I beg to differ a whole lot!!! There are some great bulls this year, with any general tag they would of all been shot!!!
The 8x8 would be on my wall without a doubt!
Getsum....
-
I sure hope your taking pictures!
Also have you guys had any pepperoni sticks yet :chuckle:
-
Well it's time to work for a couple of days then back at it. The 8x 8 was wide and heavy with short tines . Passed a 6th that had 24 plus g2, s but his mass was weak and his fives. Went after a deep bugle this afternoon we had just pulled up to a gate and let out a bugle a bull responded so RT and I went after him . Ended up being two bulls so I climbed a cliff and snuck into 100 yards while Kurt beat the hell out of a tree worked great. Bugled him into ten yards but he was only a 320 class6x6. There's no doubt that I will shoot a bull at some point. , so I figure that I'm going to enjoy the run just in case we find that epic bull. It was really hard to not drop the hammer on the herd bull this morning I was into thirty yards of his cows put he was in a blow down field I only could see his fronts so decided not to shoot. I'm SURE HE, S NOT going any where. Huge thanks to all my buddy's for keeping me on track. The will happen. I have set a standard so hi it might not be realistic , but you can't shoot a 400 bull if you shoot a 350 first. I know there's a handful of them so I'm gonna keep steping.
-
Thanks. For the update.....can't wait to see the bbd post :tup:
-
I hope you guys get a true trophy of a lifetime :tup:
-
Keep at it, gentlemen. And good luck.

but you can't shoot a 400 bull if you shoot a 350 first.
Go Big Or Go Home Right! Keep after'm Coach! Good Luck! As far as Im concerned, your hunt has already been a Complete Success!

The pressure to do this tag justice is crazy. On any other bull tag would have been filled. No doubt I will kill a elk it just may be December. Anyone that has ever err hunted the whole rut would understand why a guy wouldn't wanna end it.

Got to be intense being able to experience all of that and being able to pick and choose exactly what kind of bull you'd Luke. I expect great things to come from this.

Thursday can't get here soon enough for me, and I am not even doing anything!

Good luck!!

Patiently following....good luck!

I got my rig totaled on Wed last week and still headed out to camp for the weekend to stay on the fun..... Coach is a patient man and we are having too much fun to pull it on just anything. Lots of new stories to go with last years tales.... some you just have to be there to believe. Mining camps, bears, apples, yellowjackets, blue shop towels, Silverado parodies..... I love this crew.
-
I wish I was closer I wouldn't mind helping out...sounds like a great time :tup:
-
Remember guys, this is just the tip of the iceberg! We still have sheep and deer after Corey busts a bull! I can't believe Chris mentioned the bear :chuckle:
-
Forgot about those.....I hope he has lots of vacation...the taxidermist bill is going to be spendy
-
Those are just for the raffle tags....he can still get general season tags too.
Sounds like a dream season!
-
hush about the taxidermy bill ! my wife may be cruizin :chuckle:
-
My bad :chuckle: taxidermy is free now I forgot :chuckle:
-
Did someone say "pepperoni sticks"?????????? :chuckle:
-
Can't wait to see the outcome! Tagging.
-
I will not mention anything about a bear that is still alive sucking on trailer drag chains due to the gravity of the earths spinning causing massive amounts of bullet drop at 30 feet...
-
Anyone asking for pics, please dont ask him to post them! You will be instantly sick knowing those bulls are still alive!!!
Its total madness..
-
throw a guy under the bus here ! what happens in miners camp stays in miners camp. plus the guy pointing the bear out holding the 44 magnum might otta shot him huh ? IN THE FACE !
-

I mentioned them but there was no reply...I figured out of sight out of mind maybe? :chuckle:

No pepperoni , but Chris made some killer pork chops. That boy can cook :tup:

Holding my breath for a update

Just got off the mountain. Passed a 350 class bull this morning and a 310 class animal.tonight got on a herd bull right at dark 360_370. Now for my rant thanks to the jerk that drove right past me three miles up a road in the dark . He drive a burgundy ford with a canopy. Pretty sure he was on his way to Gatlinburg.
-
He goes there....a lot.
-
U were in a walk in and this guy drove by you? Pretty frustrating when that happens sorry to hear this
-

-

No Coach ripped a bugle about 45 minutes before the end of shooting light, took off at the reply without flashlight, pack or water bottle and ended up about 4 miles from the truck in the dark. The jackwagon in the Ford on the way to Gatlinburg saw him humping down the road about 2.5 miles from the truck on the road in the dark without a light.... Coach said "hey!" and the guy drove on by. Breaks every backwood code I know. The jackwagon then came down the hill where I was sitting in the truck with shootem hoping to hear a signal from Coach waiting for him and he stopped on the road and then drove off when I opened my door. Never did know until we got a signal bugle from coach and headed up the other road. Jackwagon in a Ford I hope I don't see you again.
-
That's even worse....sorry that happened coach...how can anyone just drive on by without at least stopping to say hi.....I met up with 2 guys on a walk in and they were a few miles from their truck and just hiked their butts off, I walked out with them to my truck and offered a ride back to theirs and they were very greatful and gave me some tips on the area since it was my first there.....some people can be real aholes

He possibly could be deaf or looking for a deer in the headlights. Either way numb deal

well getting fired up for another extened weekend of chasing a needle in a haystack . I cant think of a better way to spend the fall . First 380plus bull I see is going down :chuckle:
-
Good luck Coach!
Your latest issue with the guy in the ford reminds me of 2011 when I shot a cow and my partner grabbed the bows and headed 5 miles all up hill to get the packs and drive the truck down. 5 different rigs drove right by her and never offered a ride. A couple even stopped to chat and verify she had an elk down then said adios and drove off.
Code of the woods be damned when there's road huntin' to do.
-
Good luck!!
-
I think someone may pull the trigger this weekend
-
I have to take the wife on a trip this weekend... Whine...... They will drop a monster and mock me in text. At least I don't drive a Ford.
-

Had a six x at five yards tonight ! Fun times !

This has been amazing to say the least. So many hours in the field and over thirty elk passed up. The rut is slowing down so I feel I will be onto the next Qwest very soon. I have passed up so many elk that I'm sticking to my standards and will get back at them when the snow flys . If you guys new how many miles I'vem logged this month you would call me crazy. Thanks to so maneuvers along to help out the info has been outstanding. I'm on a labeled beast now and will hunt that area for the next week . Here's hoping !
-
Patience Daniel son! You have mastered it haha
-
Thanks for keeping us updated...you get that monster bull soon :tup:
-
Hats off to anyone who has a goal and sticks to it.
I believe all the hours you have faithfully put it will result in the bull of your dreams.
Good hunting sir !

Another long weekend of pounding the hills , We had a few good encounters and I was amazed that the wind stayed in our favor. I was hunting some really thick cover and had two different bulls at ten yards or less, one young six had me held up from moving into the herd right at dark so I threw a bugle out and he almost ran me over . If you have ever seen a bull elk fall over without being shot its a hoot. with twenty minutes of light I decided to scale up a hillside that would turn a sheep back when I got up to two of the four bulls I was pinned down as I said when this bull came in I ducked behind a big fir clinging to the hill side , he stopped and bugled from oh eight yards as he got just past me he caught my wind and turned inside out he slipped and fell rolled two or three times before getting his footing he ran abut thirty yards and stopped wondering what the hell was going on . then yesterday I worked in front of a group with a raspy bull the last second I move about ten feet good thing or im pretty sure the lead cow woulda stepped on me . the seven cows past by as I was just down wind the bull stopped and trashed a tree for five minutes then slipped by through the trees at 12 yards very nice bull but just not a shooter. I'm debating hunting elk one more week or going to look at sheep. the rut has really slowed down for sure. thanks to my buddy chris smith for coming along this weekend and and Vaughn for making us lunches ... Dark in Dark out is starting to be a serious pattern !
-
They know your pattern. The elk just fall over when you get close to show you "look I would just fall right over, shoot me already!" I say a few more days and the 422" bull gives you a shot.
-
Thanks for the update Coach, fun following along with your hunts!

Coach, do you drive a chevy?

We decided to go after a ram on Sat so I could focus on finding a good buck in the next few weeks. On top of clemans at daylight we where seeing sheep.Right away. With A few deer hunters on the ridge we wanted and seeing sheep way down the canyon we.decided.to hunt Stanford canyon . Setting up a ways out the ridge we where glassing tons of sheep at this point we had seen 25 plus rams . I saw one about half way down the ridge that needed a better look. My brother was with me as the posse decided to hunt deer and where tiered that I hadn't pulled the trigger. My brother said.he wood drive my truck of the mountain and pick me up on the hwy in a couple hours ( yeah right ) . As I worked down the ridge the wind really kicked up to 35_40 mph. As Got near the ram five more popped up and about ten ewes. On ewe was hot and they chased her for an hour or so. Once they decided to bed up I decided to make my move. Ussing a rock pile as cover slipped into 300 yards of the group. The wind howling so hard I had to cling to the hillside. I was able to hold my spotter still enough to count age rings and new be was at least seven years old. Tough call to decide.to shoot but I figured I needed little victory for all my days in the field. As the moment of truth came I settled in against the rocks and steadyed the 6.5 for the shot steep down hill with a crazy wind I held two wind hashes and let it run high.threw the spine he rolled from his be
d as the other rams jumped up.be could not . I chambered another round as I.made sure he was clear Iowwered my cross hairs and send the vld Right threw both lungs anchoring him for good. Now the work begins. After skinning him out for a half body mount and boneing the .meat out my pack was loaded at 3.30 Two hours of pure he'll through rock slides and brush. I decided to gain elevation and spent 45 min scaling the five hundred yards to the top of the ridge. Only carrying two bottles of water was a huge mistake after I split half of o.e. I got. 3/4 and My brother packed water to me and carried my twelve pound rifle the rest of the way. Let me tell.you at 45 packing 100 lbs pack of of there was one of the most. Challenging event's of my life. But also the most rewarding. He's a good ram and a throphy in my mind and I'm sure Ric will do a great job preserving him for years to come. Sorry to my posse for pulling the trigger when they where gone. After getting back to camp and showering had a drink and a few ibprohin and hit the sack . Five am came soon and I drug my ass out of the rack keeping my string of getting up all season intact. Today I only put a few miles on getting into about 30 elk and a 7x7 with a caller on. Good weekend of hunting in my book.
-
Here's a few pics.
-
My pack was so heavy I was on all fours climbing out of the bottom. I didn't see any snakes and was just trying to keep from falling of the mountain. Pics don't do it justice how steep that *censored* is. My truck is gravestone/ ,blueish crew cab. Got a honey badger sticker on back window. That canyon sure sucks to hike down the peak but the bottom is just stupid Rocky. My suggestion would be to shoot one near the bottom.
-
Outstanding work buddy!!!! Super pissed I missed out on the killing and packout! I'm carrying your whole deer next week! I call dibs! :chuckle:
-
Good work!!!! :tup:

Awesome ram. And heck of a hunt. Congrats!

Great hunting. Awsome job Getsum more

I thought the Bowtech was finally going to get some work :dunno:
Darn fine ram. Congratulations!
-
I really had using my bow in mind intill I didn't harest a elk yet , so I figured it would give me more time to find a stud mule deer before I get back on elk , I am thinking of using a pistol on my bull how ever.

Great ram Corey! The country looks steep even in the pics. It could have been worse. Packing uphill. :chuckle:
-
First and foremost! Where is the short short pics? One heck of a ram buddy... Well deserved..

Nice ram.
Which Rick is doing the mount? You said half mount. Are you going to have it jumping out of the wall or some sort of a rock below it that it is standing on?

hell I had to go up to go down. so I got to enjoy both. the most memorial part of the hunt isn't the trophy but what it takes to pull it off.
-
Nice Ram Corey. I was almost there Saturday too. I had to choose between soccer and that, and that was almost the winner. Now I am glad I chose soccer. I'd have felt obligated to carry that damn thing out for you. Congratulations.
-
Great work pal. Challenge accepted on making it taste good. Thinking of Merguez sausage and a braised application or shepherds pie. Rest up your legs got more work to do.

Nice ram Coach. November 5th can't come too soon for a couple more of us! I bet that's the same ram I was watching on Labor day. The broomed horn looks the same anyway.

Congrats on a nice ram coach.
-
for the guys that have been scouting remember these rams will move from one end of the area two the other in a day this time of year chasing ewes. there was a bunch of sheep on the bottom half of the mountain . please be safe up there , the upper road is sketchy and those draws are not for giving . Im a big guy that can hike and pack some weight and let me tell you it was all my mind and body had in me to pack that ram and my gear off the mountain. don't take it lightly and bring a friend if those slopes freeze and ice up you could get in trouble quick.

Glad you made it off there safe :tup:....get fixed up and go make that taxidermist bill bigger :chuckle:

:yeah: end of oct Temps drop and clemans can get nasty fast (just like those Asian masseuses', or so I'm told :chuckle: ) I 2nd coach's advice about a pack partner. I went downhill evening just before dark and it was slick with over 100 lbs on your back. Be safe and stick a big one. :tup:
-
Nasty places? Hmmm thats the only places he hunts!!! Easy Packout? Wth is that?
I have some asians on hot standby for when that 400 bull hits the ground!! We may all go to jail bringing the massage ladies to Dairy Queen, all of us dressed in pink undies!!!
What a year of hunting!!!

THAT WAS THE PLAN :chuckle: YEP HE HAS HIM ...

Let me tell you Ric is one hell of a stand up guy . Today he's getting my ram plugged and saving me a days work . and don't worry bocat he has a couple banana's picked out for you. :chuckle:
-
That's what I was wondering about, if I had to hang out over there waiting for a biologist to show up, especially if I were to kill a ram late on Friday or the weekend. Ric did say he could probably help with that if necessary. Good to know!
Did you get a rough score on your ram?
-
it was late so we didn't score him . low 160s 8 1/2 years old
-
Don't get caught up in score . find a ram that looks go to you and take him . the sheep in that area are good representatives of cali big horns but not giants . enjoy the hunt and seeing them . I'm sure if I'd have put days into my hunt I could have found a ram that scored a little better , may be days per inch . I really felt this ram was of age class and was a good ram to take off the mountain. now I'm able to focus more time on these little deer Karl has found .....
-
Good advice. :yeah:

-
Hey, you killed my ram! Nice! Can I see him at Ric's shop?
Bobcat, your hunt starts Nov 1 correct? If so, they're going to be rutting and fighting still. When I harvested mine the last week of oct a few years ago they were in the middle of rutting and man, it was awesome listening to the headbutt, the cracking and bashing echoed all day throughout the canyons while I was searching for the one. I have pics of 3 rams I settled on for the afternoon and the bigger 1 i passed on for the uniqueness of mine. Like coach said find the 1 you like and you'll be happy. I walked in from the bottom and packed out downhill which wasn't fun and I also suggest a pack partner for safety. Best of luck.

My hunt starts Nov. 5th, and they should be rutting still, from what I've been told. Score doesn't concern me at all. The only reason I asked about it is that it's a good way to get an idea of the actual size of a ram that you only see in a picture.

:yeah:
I don't enough about sheep to know what they score or what is a good sheep. I have stopped and glassed them on Canyon Road but have no idea what they would score. If I ever get drawn I am just going to shoot the one that I think looks the best to me.
Congrats Corey on a great sheep and good luck to you Bobcat on your upcoming hunt.

That is a great Ram....Congrats :tup:

Well, from comparisons of my own and all the ones I could find on-line I'm comfortable enough to say if it curls above the top of the jaw its in the 160's range. Good luck and shoot straight. Study them thoroughly front, back and sideways because different angles can be tricky. It may look big from behind but then it turns, or sideways, you get the idea. :tup:

After noting the size of some of the elk he is passing on, I can see why his hunting partners abandoned him.

I would be getting nervous about some of the big ones that showed up today on the 2014 bucks thread. There is some pretty good bone hitting the ground, that one from Kittitas was a dandy and right in your permit area.

Karl and I hunted bucks this weekend , all in all it was a good time , the guy can pick out der at a mile with one eye, We saw tern bucks two in the 150 class just no shooters . the good thing is they are getting interested in the ladys ! should be productive in the next couple weeks . Thanks for the help buddy and slay a giant in Colorado next week .

I think buck and hen terns are a protected species. Though finding even one with antlers is freakin' amazing. Usually just a black head cap and a long narrow bill. Do see them with a Zoro mask every once in a while :chuckle:

Your tag is just the 300 units correct? What size are you setting your eye on? I would think 160-165 would be pretty nice and tough to find in those units. Do you have a honey hole that holds 180's as the weather gets colder?

Good luck in Colorado, if it weren't for an ex-wife I may have stayed there after my time in the military. Beautiful state for sure.

They are really starting to fire up. I saw a 180+ in a 300 series unit today.

Just tagging along, waiting for an update.

Also tagging along...

Sorry for the lack of updates , I'm trying to get a little work done between hunts. So far It's been a blast all in all I have pasted in the neighborhood of 40 good bulls looking for a giant . truth be told I've past a few jaw droppers in hopes of a 400 class bull . one bull I was on may have been him but in really thick cover I just couldn't id him (35 yards). so as of right now I'm resting on elk waiting for a bit later in the month. My focus has been on deer the last three weeks . it's been good and my friends and I have put eyes on some really nice bucks but just not the one . With the rut ramping up I'm optimistic something good will happen in the next couple of weeks . All in all I have spent 35 days in the field since sept 1st and haven't slept in once . I have been able to spend time with good buddy's new and old and speak with some members on here expanding my network of good guys . Ric has my ram and did me a huge solid by getting him plugged so I could get back to work , Thanks again buddy. I have been hunting some areas in hopes but really waiting for two or three to open up for entry so we will just see how that goes. Thanks for reading along and following the journey . by the way if any of you know of a good way to keep the wife happy let me know .. :chuckle:

Thanks for the update coach! I think your best bet to make her happy is put a god buck on the ground asap for us all to See! Great hunt and thanks for sharing! Awesome ram also!

Disclaimer: yes, we're joking around so please nobody take it serious and start derailing this thread. Pink shorty shorts does not deserve that. :chuckle:

Two and a half months in ! might be time to get serious :chuckle: , I've only gone through , one truck , one wife , one back , the friends are dwindling something about pulling the trigger :chuckle:, a set or tires , countless truck stop coffees . nearest as I can tell I've passed between 30-40 different bulls and possibly the one but could not id in thick cover. and 40-50 bucks two of which where nice bucks but just had weak forks . I have seen one really large buck in a area that has been off limits for a while . hopefully with this cold weather and rut a big guy will show up soon . I've done the time , every weekend , one week , extended weekends , since the end of august . now it's time for a little bit of the luck that brought this tag too me . You can spend for ever digging through a hat stack that you know has a needle in it but it still takes just a bit of that dumb luck to find it . I've found most of the giants are big because they know where they are safe IE private land. Next time I post there will be horn porn ! well maybe..

Best wishes for ya Coach!

I figured I would see a pink shorts/big bull picture in this thread at sometime :chuckle:

In l honesty my wife and buddy's have stuck by me and never once said just shoot. Today we had to wrap the morning hunt way and move trailers . We had a couple hours of daylight left and whitpirate and I figured we might as well hunt till dark instead of calling it a weekend. I felt a little nuts for passing a long shot on a different 7x7 in the morning and a real heavy 6. When we found this bull it just felt right hard to say why after passing so many . He was heavy and mature . I knew he had our wa g3s but the rest out weighed that. Once the 140vld ran there was no regrets. In reality the pressure starts to weigh on a guy. But passing so many just makes it that much better. I have , met even more guys and spent the fall in the woods with good buddy's. What more could a guy ask for. Next mission a good buck...
-
Congrats Coach! Great bull.
-
Congrats Coach. Nice bull.
-
Fantastic bull for a fantastic guy. Well done coach. Nobody hits it harder than you. You have earned it all.
-
One more before I sleep as I have him cooling in the woodshed.... No one I have ever met hits it as hard as coach, rtspring, and blrman. Coach earned this bull this fall and I got lucky enougj to be there and enjoy the packout. This fall has been all about making new memories and this bull is the cherry on top. Shootem and I are lucky to hang with such a dedicated hunter.

oh hell no ! we got him to the road and took him apart ... Dr Bob (shootem) had to do an autopsy to see just what the lil 6.5 did inside . Thankfully Denton and Darcie where over in the Valley , He ran up and was a big hand too , pretty cold out out but we took turns warming up .

Thanks for all the kind remarks folks . It's pretty cool when you work hard and try to do it justice. I'm kinda bumbed the whole crew wasn't there to share the fifty yard pack and milkshakes . I heard that RT was at home in front of the fireplace on a bear skin rug (something about eating Mexican food too ;) ). Whitpirate has really been a trooper the guy just flat has put this hunt and I in front of of all else . pretty cool that he was there for the harvest. Hard to think a guy that I only met a year ago would sacrifice so much time for a guy. Although I am or have been told I'm a lot of fun to hang out with . Shootem has been like a pillar and just missed the shot by a couple of hours . I'm glad that he was able to go to the rugby game and buy his wife lunch with time to still get his hands bloody . It's so cool that he gets so excited when we are in the moment . Apparently blrman Karl is on a mission to kill even more deer and is almost out of touch from technology he is going nuts not being able to load pictures .

I pulled a tape ...... lets get some guesses tonight , winner gets to buy me a milkshake :chuckle: hint 66 inches of mass
-
372 7/8 :tup: Very Uneducated guess. Its a pig whatever it scores! :chuckle:
-
344 gross :dunno:
-
another hint brow tines are 7 inch in circumference.
-
to see him standing there I didn't figure he would go as well as he did . but I added inches for the proximity to the road . fastest field judge ever and I know that usually hurts with ground shrinkage.
-
387.5 figure the mass might make up for some of the shortness in tine length! Don't really care much what he scores...that's one dang fine bull for sure :tup:
First impulse was 360-365, but I want to be an optimist! Plus it's the intra-net...everything is bigger on the Intra Net :tung:
-
380 2/8 Mass Rules - And you buy the milkshakes hehehe
-
346 gross
-
364 5/8 hard to judge off some of the pics
-
I shot a bull pretty similar minus a bit of mass but made up for in time length...340
Changed my mind 348
-
352 7/8's
-
389 6/8
-
363"
-
Gotta be 60 inches of mass there
-
369 gross
-
I pulled a tape ...... lets get some guesses tonight , winner gets to buy me a milkshake :chuckle: hint 66 inches of mass

:hello:

382 if he was near my cabin you owe me a milkshake

368 1/8

384 gross, 370 net, awesome bull either way!

377

360-365" is what I was thinking.

I'm thinking 368. Congrats ona great bull.

Congrats coach great bull.

Remember all the big bulls are in the blues

Bigfoot ate all the big elk in the Blues.

I got a big 6x7 in 04, 328 score , locker room weight 512

392

Great bull, congrats. :tup: 355 is my guess

Looks like Rainer10 was the winner!

Dandy bull elk you gots there! :tup: I'm lovin that pack out... You getum where you getum!

Nice bull Coach my guess is 372
-
Your making the most of this season!
375
-
382
-
Great Bull! Congrats!!

my first post was 369-373 then changed it to 369 only. I say 372 with your hint of course

So I was asked by Karl while out hunting in sept what it would take to pull the trigger ? I always told the guys that if I saw a bull that we where sure would go 380 that i'd shoot because I knew we would get a good bull come later . I also said that I would be happy shooting a 350 bull in dec if we couldn't find better. So when this bull ran across the road on me I was like greased lighting going into action waiting for a possible shot . I kept thinking what a member on here told me about mass and how it can fool you. lets just say after so many days in the field my trigger finger and lack of patience was wearing on me . So it only took a few seconds to make my choice . After I pulled the tape last night I was pleasantly surprised to come up with 382 gross netting well over 370 . So am I just that lucky or that good at judging ? my guess is the latter ! :chuckle: :chuckle: when I taped him and came up with 220 on the frame I knew he had a chance at 380 and just to think if he had one inch on every measurement he would be over 400 ... that's how close it is when they are that big a inch is tough , I just don't know how guys can be so good on scoring those huge bulls . a big thanks to a secret member on here that gave me some great pointers this year ;)
-
Congrats again! Sharing your expirience has been a blast to follow :tup:
-
:whoo:
-
Wow, great bull coach. Congrats!
-
Not only mass, but that one extra point per side adds up quick! It not only adds the two extra length points, but also gives you two more mass measurements. That makes up for those weak thirds in a hurry! It's like adding another three inches to those thirds or more. Ask any big whitetail hunter how important that fifth point on a ten pointer is to the score! It's Huge!!
Amazing bull Coach!

Unfortunately you don't get the extra mass measurements regardless how many points it has.......There are only four mass measurements off the main beam. Tine mass doesn't help you either. That's why score is worthless on some bulls like this one.

Yes it would be. I will leave it up to the OP to pm me and ask me where I found the shed. To see if were even in the same unit.

I've had an absolute ear to ear grin on my face reading this entire thread over the past few days. I am at the beginning of week 2 of an 8week recovery from a pretty major foot surgery and the only thing helping me get through the monotony of day to day is elk and elk hunting. Hell I even started a 1000 piece puzzle called Elk Anthem this morning. Congrats Coach an a couple of Superb Washington trophies and one more to go. Seeing the way the folks on this site help each other out really gives me hope that I may be able to reach out to a few of ya if I ever draw a quality tag. Hope I see a few of these monsters at the Puyallup show in January and some of the great stories in a magazine or two.

Way to go Coach, you sure put the time and effort in for a Beautiful Bull. Congrats

But seriously, now is the right time to be out there chasing trophy bucks! You haven't worked since August so what's a few more weeks :dunno:
-
ok ok I'm on it , once we get phools truck back on the road I'm gone. I havn't taken one weekend off since August and don't plan to yet . I'm going to pick a area apart this weekend . I know there was a couple dandys in there and it is accessible now , hint hint wink..... it's been killing me knowing the tribal guys could have been in there for two days . I hope the big guys tucked in a nasty spot till tomnorrow . I'm gonna hit it alone so you know whats gonna happen IE sheep ... once I kill a buck I'm gonna have H5 measure it to make sure its in the book :chuckle:
-
Better hurry up, their horns might be falling off soon....... :chuckle: Or the rut is going to end and you'll never find the big one. Or, you might only have access this weekend.
I'll be thinking about you while I'm in Montana sipping on Milkshakes and waiting for a deer to run across the road. Kind of nice to be stress free by Thanksgiving.

Are you at least having camo milkshakes?

Well stop kicking your butt and shoot one.

You should have had a hunt Waget together over there and had everyone out lookin for a buck :chuckle:

It may happen. Today the slay master is coming along.

Right on :tup: goodluck and tag a monster!

Found him! Only problem is he is broke up pretty bad! Huge mass!!!! 38-40"!

Put him down, I want a better picture
-
One of these days I'm gonna get a phoneskope so I can take better picks. Passenger side G2 is basically gone, driver side G3 & G4 are both missing about 6". Pic def doesn't do him justice!
-
That's unfortunate. Sounds like you should let him grow another year. LOL

Few more.

Who can find the antlers in the last pic? It was Coach's jedi ninja spot of the day :chuckle:

about 3 oclock?

There right by that one bush next to the other bush with the branches :chuckle:

Dead center.
-
Let me tell you guys I can spot small deer with the best of them...but Karls low light spot from a mile away was the best although when we got over there the buck had vanished . I think Karl just wanted me to climb that hill with a twelve pound gun :chuckle: . Karl will be looking for a couch to sleep on if he takes anymore time off to hunt. So where's the line on sending his wife flowers ? ( shes a trooper ) something is gonna happen pretty quick I think lol.

I do like the giant two point idea. That thought crossed my mind the last time I had a permit. I think If I'd have been able to get into range, hed have been dead

Raffle tag is an extra tag.

Interesting post? Leaves ones mind to wonder? :chuckle: Maybe they had some of Plats sausage again? :chuckle:
-
RT just hasn't had a hundred plus elk try to run him over before !
-
btw if your the guy shooting at a herd of elk with a rifle out there from a county road during archery season you might be careful as to who is watching .
-
Did u get a licence plate number?

Were you in the 3911 area in GMU 328 open to Master Hunters? If so he should have been in hunter orange at least. Actually anyone in that area is supposed to be in hunter orange even if hunting with a bow.
-
Nothing like a "Master Hunter" shooting into a crowd of Elk from the road. :yike:
-
I cant even make this one up! Coach hiked from one zip code to another and chased down a herd of elk, then after he caught them. The herd decided I was just a piece of sagebrush and wanted to trample me.
You just had to be there to understand.
-
no plate # but they wernt in a master hunter area.
-
They just wanted to wish you a happy birthday RT and maybe issue you a couple spankins.
Yay or Nay on the buck on facebook Coach. Is that ballparkish tag worthy for you?
-
Haven't had much time to be on here this fall but just immensely enjoyed reading this thread. Congrats on a great bull and ram coach. It is good to see the comradery throughout the 23 pages! Good luck on getting a masher!

You should have jump on one and rode it around....it would have been easier getting up and down those mountains :chuckle:
-
It was nice to meet you both
Glad we could help get your friends elk out! He was pretty stoked..
-
Keep hitting it hard. :tup:
-
Happy B-Day RT. If you need a cane or a walker I can get you a used one from work. Coach's elk rack would be a good stable walker for ya too.

Thanks, and as long as there are elk to hunt, I will hike anywhere to find them. No walker needed yet..

What a epic year . Thanks to Karl,Kurt,Chris and Bob a long with so many members of hunt wA that helped me keep my focus along with my family's that allowed me to be gone every weekend since August plus extras. I wish I could tell a story like Hershey or snap a picture like Bone. I can give it hell and keep stepping maybe sharing something along the way. This season has renforsed in my mind that it's not the throphys but rather the journey along the way. I only hope to be able to repay the favors one day to such good buddy's. Happy holidays ! Coach
-
Btw Bergers can't kill a thing ! Three shots three animals ! Just one extra for good measure....I guess I was trigger happy :chuckle:
-
That Karl is always thinking about getting some tail

St me just say the kid can take a deer apart with the best of them.

I've never seen a deer double lunged/heart/spined/gut shot all in the same shot! :chuckle: Bullet straight up liquefied his insides! In one side and out the other with amazing internal damage and almost no meat loss. I've always been a bonded bullet fan but these are gonna get a run in my WSM next year.
