Title: WA top ten
Post by: sternwarning on January 28, 2017, 06:47:56 PM: My mom found a pair last year and got them scored at the sportsmen's show today. They scored 191 7/8 and 191. I know not everyone records their monsters, but that puts them #7 and #8 WA state all time.

Post by: danderson on January 30, 2017, 06:53:19 PM: Nice sheds Sern, I saw them Saturday great bull for sure, those genetics are sweet, I get excited just thinking about the possibilities for future bulls, my sheds ranked 7th and 8th in the non-typical category, now that the G-3 bull is dead I can share a few pictures.
Title: Re: WA top ten
Post by: Watimberghost on January 30, 2017, 08:08:10 PM: Danderson, that bull is out of this world! I'm glad you posted him, and it's funny you did. On the way home from the sportsman show my brother and I talked about Mr G-3 and wondered what his horns scored. We thought he would be neck and neck with my mom's set. The genetics in that whole general area are limitless.

What did G-3's antlers score, if you don't mind sharing?

Thanks for posting the pic. Hope that bull did some serious lovin in his day!

Title: Re: WA top ten
Post by: danderson on January 30, 2017, 09:30:45 PM: My set scored 433 5/8, with a 40 inch spread credit , when he got hit he scored 424 5/8, its spread was 43 1/8, both were mounted by the Elk Foundation.

Sternwarning- sweet that you got a pic of him on the hoof before finding his sheds.

Danderson- did you have history or know of the g-3 bull before you found his sheds? (Seems like I remember reading something from you about it..?) Great finds!!!!
Title: Re: WA top ten
Post by: C-Money on January 31, 2017, 06:43:59 AM: Amazing sheds!! Took an amazing animal to grow those sets of antlers.
Title: Re: WA top ten
Post by: danderson on January 31, 2017, 07:56:13 AM: I had pretty much found his bedroom, winter and summer range, many great game camera pictures in different velvet and hard horned stages since 2012, yeah we had history, I have some great video of him at 30 yards bugling and tearing it up during the rut also, i'll share at some point.

The sheds photo has been around for a few years now.

Amazing bull that I never get tired of seeing photos of.

Post by: danderson on January 31, 2017, 10:02:04 AM: I made a mistake and posted the picture on face book, back when I found them, a good learning experience for me, teanaway slayer took that picture, I have a bunch more live photos still working on a water mark for them

Title: Re: WA top ten
Post by: hunterofelk on February 26, 2017, 07:24:14 AM: I got to see the pair of top ten sheds at the Sammamish Valley Chapter RMEF Banquet last night. Very beautiful antlers. I am always impressed how some Washington elk can grow antlers that big. Thanks for displaying them, it made the evening more noteworthy.

Post by: Ironhead on February 26, 2017, 07:54:13 AM: Thanks for sharing your sheds gentleman, two true Washington giants.

Post by: Watimberghost on February 26, 2017, 02:13:38 PM: It was our pleasure to share them with everyone! Washington state has world class animals. You never know what you will come across when you spend time outdoors. That's why we enjoy it so much!

I've got a set I'd like to score and compare to this list. I see the base circumference listed on there, does anyone know if that is a measurement in addition to the four circumference measurements or just the one between g1 and g2?
Title: Re: WA top ten
Post by: Old Man Yager on September 27, 2018, 05:15:27 PM: Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the base would be the 1st of the 4 circumference measurements.
Title: Re: WA top ten
Post by: Watimberghost on September 27, 2018, 05:34:14 PM: Yeah, the first of the 4 circumference measurements "H1". Between the "G1" and "G2".
Title: Re: WA top ten
Post by: MtnMuley on September 27, 2018, 06:46:05 PM: :yeah:
Between G1 and G2 is a whole lot different than the base measurement for the H1. You could be talking 4-6" in many cases.
