A Eastern Oregon bull. The guy is from Elgin OR. Friend of a friend scored around 400. Good story on i-fish.net
Oregon raffle tag bull?? Awesome bull, thanks for sharing.
Does mine count?
They all count.
I thought it would be cool to keep a running tally of all(or as many as we can get anyway) the bulls killed by our members this year. There's one of these threads in the Deer Hunting forum and another in the Other Big Game forum as well.
Thanks for sharing all the pics and keep em coming!

He got his 6X6 bull the morning of the second day and I got mine the last day morning of a five day hunt a 7X7 but he broke of his fifth, lost about 9 inches. I measured mine at 352 gross and 338 net, wish he had the other 9" and less deduction.
His first bull and first hunt, below is a pic with him and guide and mine is the second pic.

Okay, not a monster, but after waiting 7 years for a peaches tag, and having this guy run broadside by me at 100yds, opening morning, a mile from the truck, (that NEVER happens for me) I could not look a gift horse (elk) in the mouth and pass on a shooter and risk getting skunked. Beautiful dark color, candle flame tips, green scored 276 but still a nice animal.Great looking bull, I'd love to have a branched Washington bull, if I could ever draw it.
Love the dark rack.

There have been so many huge, beautiful elk posted up this year, it blows me away! It was making me think there wouldn't be any big elk left for me by the time my Observatory any bull tag could be used. Glad I was wrong about that. I found a pretty decent bull that made it through the archery and muzzle loader seasons!
Great elk, we are seeing many more branched bulls the past few years. Maybe we'll see a few more draw tags some day.

Chased several bulls in the morning, only catching glimpses of them even though I was within 50 yards multiple times, just no openings or shooting lanes. In the afternoon things were kind of slow so I made a plan to head into the wind to another area. He crossed in front of me at 40 with the wind in my favor. Had one shooting lane he paused in as I kind of spit out a whistle to stop him.
McKayla was not impressed but I am very happy for a first bull.

He shot it at noon on opening day in the Quoilmene unit. We found it at 250 yards and we had to watch it for 20 minutes because the left spike had a piece of velvet hanging from the the left antler and in the wind it would look like a 2 point, spike only unit.
He laid my 30.06 over his pack frame and shot it, the elk fell to its knees and then stood back up, he put another shot in it and it dropped in his tracks. He listened to his Dad when I told him to keep shooting at the elk until it goes down for good.
Then the fun began it took us 6 hours to get him to the road. All in all a great day and a very proud dad.
He was quick to remind me that he killed his first bull elk in only 2 years of hunting when dad has been hunting for 30+ years and no bull elk. I plan to remedy that Monday with my Peaches Ridge any bull tag.
We had Coulee Creek Taxidermy do the European mount.
It was the biggest spike elk I have every seen, 39" spikes.
Picture is not that great and I lost all my field pictures when I dropped my cell phone in a tank of sodium hypochlorite.
