I went down to the Lewis unit for three days. It was hotter then I could bone out an elk and get it out of there before it would spoil. So I packed up and went back home. I hunted local to my house so that I could get the elk out before it would spoil.
I hit some of my places and found three bulls. I snuck in at 3:30 AM and crawled in to the grass to were they were feeding. Some other hunters came in at about 6:15 AM and started bugling and the herd started to move right at me. They did not know I was there. The bull put his nose up a few ladies tails and they ran by me then the bull walked by a 20 yards. I never called once and I used the other hunter's call to push the elk to me.
But they were kind of calling with questionable wind direction.

That rack will make a killer euro mount.. can not wait to see it done.

I was soo close to saying that I pulled that bull out of were you hunt. But I could not type it in... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
I agree the euro mount will really look cool with those dark horns.

Were you by yourself? why is your smiley face not in the pic?
I hunt by myself. My camera does not have the timer function.

Is it just me, or did the string come off the cam on your bow? masher bull!
Ghost,
Nice pick up... Yep I was trying to follow up with another shot through some wild plumb and when I let the arrow fly it took my string off my cam. It was an easy fix.

Post by: FSTaxidermy on September 11, 2011, 06:42:59 PM
After all the weight was measured it is offically my largest weighted bull. I usually get about 300 to 320 lbs of boned out meat per small bull and 337 for my largest bull. But this one topped them all by a few lbs. 346 lbs is what we got out of this bull. The backstraps were almost 6 inches diameter at the thickest point of the strap.
six inch diameter straps :yike: awesome!

Nice bull! What GMU?
I would almost bet money he got it in 652. I think I seen that bull a few weeks ago, but Im not positive. Regardless, 652 is hard to hunt unless you can get access to lots of private land.
By the way beautiful bull and congrats! :tup:
