Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on December 20, 2008, 05:12:09 PM: Yeah I would never shoot a bull that looks so sickly. WTF!!!!!!! There aint a dang thing wrong with that bull and why are they always going to be bigger next year. Maybe he is already regressing. :dunno:

Post by: Elkstuffer on December 20, 2008, 05:20:14 PM: Saw that bull last year at Oak Creek and he looks smaller in these pictures. I'm assuming they were taken this year. I haven't been out there yet this year to see him in person. I would like to hear someone elses thought though.

Post by: 270Shooter on December 20, 2008, 06:14:46 PM: I was there today. And saw the 6x6, and this bull but he was bedded down a ways away and couldn't get a good look at him.

Not many raghorns there yet, did see about 4 spikes though.

Title: Re: 7x8 stud
Post by: Elkstuffer on December 20, 2008, 07:05:20 PM: Last year the big bull liked to hang out in the upper section of the feed lot away from the other bulls. He was fun to watch come down the trail at feeding time, all the other elk were pretty quick to move out of the way. Awsome bull for our area. Hope he spread alot of genes around last Sept.

Post by: cascademountainhunter on December 20, 2008, 09:22:16 PM: id say hes already a big boy :drool:
Title: Re: 7x8 stud
Post by: luvtohnt on December 20, 2008, 09:25:36 PM: If that is him two years ago then he is going downhill. He has lost some mass and based on his body look he will not last many more years, he has that I am a seasoned veteran look!!

Post by: Skinner on December 21, 2008, 07:46:22 AM: I remember seeing that bull the last couple of years and he was definately bigger before! Still a hell of a bull but his extra pts were definately longer before and he had more mass. I am looking for the biggest 5x I have ever seen. He was where I was hunting this year and I would really like to see him up close. He looked like a rodeo bull he was so big and his horns were dark and massive. We saw him whip some monsters, but couldn't get close enough for a shot.

Post by: fc2038 on December 21, 2008, 10:04:42 AM: Yea it does look like the same bull, and yup looks a little smaller than the year before. I would not say he is going down hill. Remember last year we had a late winter and the feed was not the greatest. He has really good genetics maybe with a short winter and some early feed he will be able to grow them a little larger this year. He really does not look like an old elk, but he sure is a dandy. :twocents:

Post by: robb92 on December 21, 2008, 11:51:21 AM: Nice bull for sure!!!
Title: Re: 7x8 stud
Post by: M_ray on December 21, 2008, 12:11:25 PM: He looks an awful lot like a bull I saw while muzzle hunting spikes in there 3 years ago and I would say he was bigger then. He was definatly the stud of the area with about 30 cows and I watched a real nice 330 class type bull surrender about 12 cows to him with out a fight! The 330 took one look at him boogied the other way on a hurry.

Post by: HardCorpsHuntr on December 21, 2008, 12:17:56 PM: Great looking bull, thanks for posting.

I killed a bull nine years ago near Packwood that was ear tagged seven months earlier in Oak Creek. #181. I called the Bio. who was involved with the tagging and got limited info. (he was a 6x and had been tagged in mid-February.) Those critters move futher than most think!
