Yep, I thought so too. Then I realized how far back that rear tine came on the body of the thing and it started making more sense. Still hope to see some better pics though.

I’m guessing if it’s all over FB and Instagram, sharing pics here is fair game?

I would think so. I've seen a few other pics of that thing, what an awesome

Awesome bull! Congrats to the hunter. I caught this bull a few times last year on my trailcams (99%sure with the size, configurations of rack, and the one brow tine dropping lower than the other.)

Awesome bull, I was thinking it was close to 400 and was just great positioning for the photo.  438 sounds like somebody put a tape to it.

What a bull.  Congrats to the hunter.  Would love to hear the story on that.

I can only imagine what the hunters heart rate was at the time of shot. Incredible specimen!

Crazy big bull!!  Was this public land?  How much public land is there in the mission?  So much for flying under the radar!   :chuckle:

 This I know that bull was shot by a very skilled hunter. Their was a ton of effort put in and years spent hunting and learning to do it the right way

Honestly, to hell with any of the naysayers. I know a thing or two about mission.

Including, I ran into two archery hunters during the early season who had no idea they were hunting in a closed unit. Seriously.

Congrats to the hunter. I heard a few pigs bugling this year, love thinking this was one of em.

 Jesus Christo, that thing is a complete beast! I love the fact that this wasn't a rich guy tag,  not that I have anything against those tags. That bull, really I'm speechless not sure what to say about it except holy crap !   I don't remember ever seeing a bull that has four points below the dagger like that, congrats to the hunter on a world class elk!

I don't see any naysayers on this thread?  Heck, even if this was shot in a yard on private property I'd still post it!! Fantastic bull!

Post by: Biggerhammer on October 12, 2017, 07:23:11 PM
Way cool !! Especially for a bull they didn't even know was there. They were targeting a much smaller 6 point and big boy showed up. They had game cameras out and no pictures of this Elk. It was a total surprise! They had to get access through private property to get to this bull. This bull was whacked right behind some cherry orchards. This Elk was so low he probably grazed on people's lawns.

There's a close second to this big boy hanging out behind some orchards not too far away in Peshastin WA.

Take note of this.......This is a 440" bull with the whole package. How many of us have heard people say " Oh yeah I saw a bull yesterday and his whale tails were clear back to his a$$" haha

Absolutely an amazing bull.  Great pics.  Glad it came out of our state and a regular guy got him.  Would really like to hear the story.  Nice job and congrats.
