Post by: JackOfAllTrades on July 01, 2009, 02:12:11 PM: Incredible bulls! On the ground, on the hoof, mounted. Awesome!

Only time I've been as close to any like that was one in the path of the hood/grill/bumper of my truck while I was standing on the binders. (no impact with him or the two cows with him, not during season.) That would have been messy. Most of the mess would have been in the drivers seat of my truck!

I almost forgot to mention, that is a mighty nice looking mount for only your second elk mount.

Title: Re: lets see 320"
Post by: bearpaw on July 02, 2009, 01:00:39 PM: Hell of an Idaho bull, possibly top 5 for Idaho, I hope the guy realizes what he has.
Title: Re: lets see 320"
Post by: bucklucky on July 02, 2009, 01:03:59 PM: It is 407 gross, 389 net. It would have been top 15 I believe at one point. The guy that killed it had it offocially scored but never entered. My budy purchased the antlers from him as he was old and sick of moving them around the garage. He gave him the pictures of the hunt , score sheet, and location of kill. Even the outfitters name. He paid 700 bucks for that set, it is an incredible bul! Only had 47-49 inch main beams!
Title: Re: lets see 320"
Post by: bearpaw on July 02, 2009, 01:12:09 PM: That's the reason I don't really care for the scoring systems. A lot of guys live by them and that is fine too, but I always figured an animal should be scored by what it grows and not penalized because one side is different from the other. That's just my opinion, I do understand the oposing views, I just don't agree with them.

Post by: bearpaw on July 02, 2009, 04:15:40 PM: A friend of mine that writes for Peterson's Bowhunting just wrote a really good book last year about elk hunting. For his book he researched all the records for all the states and while Idaho has produced tons of big bulls, it just doesn't grow 400's. That bull in your photos is a top notch bull for Idaho, yet with the deducts he reduced signficantly in standings. Notice only 2 Idaho bulls over 400.

Title: Re: lets see 320"
Post by: bearpaw on July 02, 2009, 05:14:18 PM: I can remember some hunts where a spike was a darn fine bull. I sell nearly as many cow hunts as bull hunts because we have 90-100% success on cows and for someone who just wants meat or hasn't been lucky enough to kill a bull, that cow is a darn fine elk. :twocents:

I have always maintained it is tougher to kill the herd cow than the herd bull, she is the smartest elk in the woods when they are being hunted.

Title: Re: lets see 320"
Post by: Crowns on July 02, 2009, 06:55:15 PM: Its VERY close lol. This one scores 141 1/4. So It could possibly gross in there. Odds of the other side being a perfect 5 are pretty slim so I would doubt it would net that well. My best so far.

I'm thinking finding the big one won't be as hard as getting past all the dinks. I seen 2 herds the other day each herd had about 50 bulls each. So many but so few of the really big ones. Spook 1 elk and everybody is gone!!!

No idea what they score, but dandy roosevelts.

Title: Re: lets see 320"
Post by: nwhunter on July 05, 2009, 11:00:58 PM: Heres one that really is closer to 320 I never got the real score on it maybe closer to 310. Guided an archery hunt last year in the same area I killed my bull in and we killed this bull on day 3 of the hunt. The rough country was pretty hard on the hunter and he decided to kill a bull and get the heck out of there before he couldn't walk anymore. Defenitely a nice Washington bull for a guy who was hobbling on a bad knee. nwhunter

Title: Re: lets see 320"
Post by: elkspert on July 06, 2009, 11:55:49 AM: The story with that rosie is I drew a west side tag in 06. Passed on a little smaller bull on the first day of the hunt. That night back at camp I was kinda kicking myself. Second morning we bugled this guy up. All I could see on him was his horns. (crown up top, good mass, white tips). That was enough for me. When he cleared the brush he was 25 yards out and still coming. He took one to the chest and it was over. I honestly think he would have walked right on me.

Post by: Guy on July 07, 2009, 04:34:21 PM: To tell you the truth, I've never measured/scored this bull. He's a 6x6, 51" wide. Suppose I ought to have him scored one of these days, but it doesn't really matter much to me. Biggest darned animal I've ever shot, and one heck of a good hunt with a good friend:

He broke 12-13 inches off of his left eyeguard, but in spite of that still gross scored 340. Intact would have been 350-360 gross. It had a WDFW radio callar on him. He was the biggest bull coming to the elk feeding station on White pass for 4 years.

A gay bull huh. He must be from the west side :chuckle:

Well, he was in Eastern Washington when I took the picture, but I think he had King County plates... :chuckle:

Yes, the one with the lighter colored antlers was definitley the bigger one. Second time I have seen him this summer. The pics don't do him justice. You kind of have to see him from the side. Here's another one. A little hard to see, but you get the idea. My 10 year old was so excited when we snuck up on him, I thought he was going to pop.

Post by: rosscrazyelk on July 26, 2009, 03:57:16 PM: I am alittle late in getting this posted but here is friend of mine bull. It has never been scored and he won't let me get it scored. I am sure however it is bigger than 320. Any guess on what you might think
Title: Re: lets see 320"
Post by: bucklucky on July 26, 2009, 04:34:48 PM: Now thats a cool bull right there! It has a good sized cheater on the right horn. Too hard too guess that one but probably 350ish give or take 20 :chuckle:
Title: Re: lets see 320"
Post by: bearpaw on July 27, 2009, 10:33:36 AM: I would say he definitely breaks 350 and with the length of those tines might go 360+ gross.
