Post by: JPhelps on October 07, 2009, 05:38:27 PM: NICE BULL!

Never Mind the PM - couldn't tell that it was a rifle in the pic (awful small on a cell phone).

As for all the guesses about, mudflow, toutle, and even the olympic unit are off.

The only units open to a rifle in the olympics are the clearwater, matheny and wynoochee.

Post by: billythekidrock on October 07, 2009, 06:40:13 PM: Here are a few more pics.

I needed a bit of help getting the pack on. We long necked it and with the rack/head/cap it weighed 140 lbs. :o

(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hunt101.com%2Fdata%2F500%2Fmedium%2FwebIMG_6823.jpg&hash=2b79421708de04c2466683228d72b04373849e80)

Check out the nose...looks a little goofy don't it?

(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hunt101.com%2Fdata%2F500%2Fmedium%2FwebIMG_6927.jpg&hash=5abb17e9eb8ea8f6812e59f47e1285f2ef12c8c5)

There is a large scar on its lip and apparently a hole through the roof of the mouth into the nasal cavity. It was missing the ivory on this side.

:tup: :brew:
Title: Re: Oly Rosie
Post by: M_ray on October 07, 2009, 11:41:51 PM: Real nice Rosey there BTKR! Congrats ... I don't doubt the weight of the head and cape, some people scoffed at me when I told them mine weighed 110 but I guess they'd have to be there to see the scale since most have never carried one they know how much they weigh right??? :rolleyes: I had some neck meat and scraps in with mine though ... yours looks heavier to me, Congrats again! :)
Title: Re: Oly Rosie
Post by: billythekidrock on October 08, 2009, 06:24:15 AM: I knew I shouldn't have posted the weight and yes, we did weigh it...twice..
I only packed it about 300 yards. :IBCOOL:
Any farther and we would have taken the neck out and probably not kept the cape.

Like I said, we long necked it and I left a little extra hide on the cape. That is all neck and it is resting on the pack shelf.

I needed a little help here.

Just a bad attempt at sarcasm on my part towards the type of people you were refering too.

No real reason. That is just the way we parted it out. We took off the hind first, then the fronts, then we sawzalled down the spine.

Title: Re: Oly Rosie
Post by: LongTatLaw on October 09, 2009, 02:04:36 PM: damn it...

tried to reply to this like 3 days ago and it didnt take for some reason

any way

I love to talk hunting and Rosi's especially and I saw this elk in person the day after BTKR killed it. Let me tell ya...the pics look good but dont do the mass on that fat *censored* any justice!

I hate to say it because everyone knows I dont like BTKR but damn that was a pig!

and it carries the mass all the way out to the tips so it gives the illusion that its not that thick but it is!

I was very proud of the mass on my 2007 rosy...and its mounted on a 28 inch form... but putting this bull beside my form made it look like a damn black tail!

its a nice bull with great mass and great color to the horns...

the nose was interesting as well... it had an odd...not elk like hump in the nose. Reminded me of a moose snout... very big..very unique with tons of sign that he liked to mix it up with other big boys!

nice elk willie...it will look great in the back of ur shed under a tarp next to ur old auto trader magazines! :bash: :bash: :bash: :bdid: :yike: :bash: :'(
Title: Re: Oly Rosie
Post by: billythekidrock on October 10, 2009, 05:25:45 AM: LOL. Thanks Dave.

Actually it will probably go IN the tin shed, not under the tarp. As for the mags...they are old hunting rags back to 1995. Just got rid of most of them..except the old F&H News..you guys remember the quad fold newpaper version? You never know when an old spot becomes good again.
Title: Re: Oly Rosie
Post by: Michelle_Nelson on October 31, 2009, 09:43:27 AM: Very Nice Bull. I measured the bases at 11 or 11 1/2 inches. I got pictures of the skull after it was cleaned. Nose was busted pretty good. I will post pic's of them later.

I think he took a tine to the mouth. A bullet would have done a lot more damage. The scar was on the left side of the face but there was nothing indicating and exit wound.

The left nostril was collapsed.

A section of the bone was gone BTKR. The other bone had been broken.

Post by: Mike450r on November 02, 2009, 12:39:01 PM: I have seen 3 elk like that, they all came out of the Bear River GMU, I think they were all born with the defect just like people, cleft palate, AKA hairlip.

Post by: sagerat on November 08, 2009, 03:31:28 PM: Hey BTKR, just curious, how many points did you have when you drew this tag. Also, damn nice bull but it seems like YOU would have held out for bigger? Did you see any? Still, it's an awesome Rosie, he'd be going on the wall if it was mine.
