Post by: Ngutzwiler on December 05, 2017, 04:49:22 PM
The bull I harvested this fall went 420 6/8 non typical there may be another review but as of what I know he will be the new wa state muzzleloader record!! Super excited about this and thought I would share with fellow hunters!!!

OMIGOD   Can it be scored as a typical?
Title: Re: El Whoppo
Post by: Ngutzwiler on December 05, 2017, 05:04:32 PM
It sure can be scored typical but as you can see the G4 on the right isn’t quite as impressive as the left G4 and then it goes down hill from there! He scored 386 typical his gross non typical is 438 and some change..
Title: Re: El Whoppo
Post by: elkinrutdrivemenuts on December 05, 2017, 05:09:12 PM
What am I missing, he looks typical to me?

Nevermind I see now. 

Thats not his G 4, thats a G 3.5. 

It looks like he grew an extra point there, which is really impressive.  Great bull man!

Uh oh....... did somebody bet a brick of 22 ammo?

Someone placed a $500 bet saying that the bull could not possibly have been from Eastern WA bull because of the color of his mane.

True story.
And In case there’s ever any question...

That is awesome!!!!!!

I hope he's man enough to pay up. 

Dude went on and on for a long time about how positive he was that the bull's coloring was indicative of the Margaret/Mt St Helens area based on his 27 years of elk hunting experience.
He was fired up.
And the OP here was posting in the same thread.
Title: Re: El Whoppo
Post by: Dan-o on December 07, 2017, 09:19:39 AM
Wow....

Dude needs to PAY UP. 

Any indication if he plans to pay up?

Post by: trophyhunt on December 07, 2017, 09:30:20 AM
Margaret St. Helens , lmao !  There has never been a bull of that caliber in those units!  Lol

Post by: Ngutzwiler on December 07, 2017, 10:16:10 AM
Yes I did post on fb for family and friends to update the outcome of the score. There was a few non believers which is expected the bull is unbelievable.! I take the comments as compliments as should washington hunters El Whoppo is proof of great management! I’m going to put this as lightly as possible.. if you guys followed the first thread on this forum there was actually worse slander and assuming till that was edited out. I thank the person who reported them. This forum is awesome and I am so grateful of all of the positive comments you guys are all great!!
