After three months of scouting and hunting with a short break to take a ram Bob closed the deal Sunday on his central raffle tag elk . Good thing cause my hall pass was running out.

We burned some seriuos boot leather in the last couple of months and bob showed seriuos restrain in passing on atleast fiffty bulls in during the hunts . We found this guy on Sat and put him to bed . took till nmoon on sunday to find him , well worth the wait . Not only did I have a blast but found a new friend in the process. We will score him at a later date .

It's been a ride and the wives had been very understanding . the bull came from no tellum canyon in the kittas valley and the ram came off clemans . The buck may be a lil tougher too close the deal on but he still has time and is gonna deadicate the first week of dec on finding a good one .

we passed a 330 bull on day one of sept and from there on its been crazy into bulls every time out we could have taken over fiffty bulls five point or better with a few nice sixs and a huge 5x7 . bob held out and stuck to his guns there was acouple of times early on that i had to yell no dont shoot but he quickly learned what he was looking for and when we found this bull he knew it was the one . I was so hard going to bed saturday night knowing he was right up on the mountain . Every morning we were up at 5 am same routine hunt day light till dark and work the scouted areas hard . It wasn't till the snow flew that we looked into this area thinking some bulls would be moved in . It has been great hunting with Bob He is a stand up guy and a good hunter never once complaining about the hell hikes , he always said " I got in here I'll get out " . my buddy Dan has been great dropping us off and picking us up plus sitting in the truck for hours while we chased elk , if not for his limitations he would have been along on all the hikes , trulley a great friend to put up with all the waiting. Dan was begining to wonder if Bob braught any bullets .

I would say that Bull was worth waiting for. His top end is incredible. Congrats to the hunter. Looks like he has made the most of the tag. Big pressure with a tag like that.

Coach, do you have any additional angles of him (frontal shot). It would be nice to see how wide he is. What do you think 365"-375" range? Again great bull you guys have worked your asses of this season it sounds like. Good luck on the mule deer.
Title: Re: almost three months ! BBD
Post by: coachcw on November 22, 2011, 04:19:22 PM
I dont have a staight on shot , I think bob may . It's kinda wierd his beam length is strong and some points look short cause his tops are so strong , he carrys his mass well and I know his fourths are 24 and his week lil threes are 11 . I'm not gonna post any numbers since I dont wanna get slammed if i'm of by a coupple points . but I'll say I have a 370 bull hanging on my wall and this bull is bigger . we will pull a tape but it really dosn't matter we looked at so many bulls since september I was going rummy thinking , sizing and wondering if we'd find a better bull . we passed two bulls in sept that was wondering about for the last month . After the first week of passing bull Bob got a good idea of what he wanted and wasn't gonna settle . He hiked every inch of this bull and earned the throphy .

hey coach my son and I met bob one weekend in november.  I put him on a bull that looks a lot like that.  Would you mind asking him if thats the bull we stared at for quite some time.  I would give better details where we were to help him remember me but it looks like your keeping it hush hush.  He did share some of his ram jerkey with us.  he was a great guy at the very least tell him hi.  Thank you!  Brent

Hey elkstalker , the bull bob shot wasn't in the same area where you met him .not even the same unit west about fiffteen miles. he told me that he meet you and you seemed like a good guy . It's cool how we can meet somany good eggs while in the field . do you have a pick of the buck your son got ?
Title: Re: almost three months ! BBD
Post by: Elkstalker on November 24, 2011, 10:56:10 AM
It is funny.  I was talking to my dad after bob left and said i love hunting for so many reasons but being able to meet strangers in the field and consider them somewhat friends is pretty awesome. this site is another good example of meeting strangers that are really good people. I got drawn for the wenaha elk tag this year and met some guys on here that also got drawn, then i met them up there in person, also good people.  I do have some pics.  I will have to download them to the computer.  give me a little time.  happy thanksgiving
