Way cool. The antlers across your body/chest give it some impressive scale. If you can post a few more pics with different angles that would be awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I have been looking at the moose for a year, so I would probably say the elk, but I am still amazed looking at the moose.

I’m a huge elk fan, but I drew a wa moose tag this past year and it was tough finding a good bull. Your moose is a once in a lifetime, amazing bull! That bull elk is also amazing, but if I had to pick, that moose would be my favorite! Either way, you have 2 animals that most people won’t even get to see in real life, you are blessed! Congrats!

Was this bull harvested in Washington? It's a nice one for sure.

What some don’t know is that from late October 2018 til late September 2019. I became a grandfather, took two mule deer a 164” and 176” buck, took this moose and the bull. I’m not sure why...why this happened to me, but I am grateful. My thirst is quenched. I’m not done hunting by any stretch, but my focus will be more about helping others...especially kids.

Took my bull down to the Puyallup Sportsman’s show for the Horn Competition if anyone wants to see it in person.
Didn’t stick around to see what they scored it at.
-
If anyone is at the show, can you tell me what they got for a score? I would really appreciate it.

One of these? These are the 2 highest scoring bulls.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200126/8347965147b7c76fd3852ae5bb3d8640.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200126/033fcd928b725aeb60a049c112e44ac1.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200126/4908bec75d90b4dc755fde158e547133.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200126/98ffe65b51dbd1432ee917453e3afa6d.jpg)

Was that a 388 Rosie! What’s the state record Rosie?
-
Correct me if I am wrong but by the state the division line between roosevelt classification and rockies is I 5. If that elk was shot east of I 5 by state regs it is a rockie mountain elk. So I would think it wouldn't qualify as a roosevelt state record. Yes I know that there are plenty of roosevelt elk east of I 5

According to boone and crockett's definition, youre right.
"Roosevelt’s elk are acceptable from Del Norte, Humboldt and Trinity Counties, California, as well as that portion of Siskiyou County west of I-5 in northern California; from west of Highway I-5 in Oregon and Washington; from Vancouver Island, B.C.; and from Afognak and Raspberry Islands of Alaska. The Alaskan animals are the result of a successful transplant from the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. To date no trophies from Alaska have been entered that reach the current all-time records book minimum score of 290. Most of the entered trophies to date have come from coastal Oregon and Washington, with a smaller number from Vancouver Island."

The NW big game record book, which is what this was all for, has a designation for cascade Roosevelt elk, which is what that bull would be.

Didn't realize that it is called a cascade roosevelt.

so the discussion of that bull doesn't keep diluting the original bull killed by the OP.

It has only been a few comments and now back on track. I wasn't sure which bull he was looking for so I posted the to pics. Other thread will remained locked. Enough said on other bull. Awesome bull buckjunkie I would assume a first place? I did see a monster shoulder mount wheeled out Sunday that I hadnt seen so I was wondering.

My bull was the highest scoring Non Typical Rocky Mountain Elk entered for Washington at the Puyallup show this year. Based on the current on-line records, it should be #10 in that category. I don’t know who took best of Show or what place I came in. It was noisy and hard to understand. I won a archery target and some broadheads.
The way I understand it, the entries that score the highest in their category place the highest in the overall competition. There were some amazing trophies down there. New state record Black Bear, new state record archery Cascade Roosevelt, a giant youth Rocky Mtn Elk to name a few.
Good competition...Congratulations to all!
-
That youth one must have been the shoulder mount. Young kid was pulling the wagon with a huge smile. It was a beast. Congrats again.

The way they do it is they have a formula that compares your animal to the current #1 in the books. Not the current ones being entered at the show.
So say your number 1 elk may have been biggest and been the top one entered in that category at the current show. However you said it would be number 10 in the books.
Some guy could have like a # 1 bear at the show that is going in the all time books at #5 so even though your both first place for that show in each of your areas. His bear would place higher in the completion and prizes then your elk.
Hope that makes sense.

Beauty of a bull! Where did you get him scored? I shot a giant in AZ this year and I'm struggling to find a SCI measurer.

If the bull was a draw tag on free range why is it scored sci and not Boone and Crockett? Kinda looks like a ranch bull

#1 Because Boone & Crockett wants to know everything about the location, creek drainage, gps coordinates...
#2 It is definitely not a ranch bull
FYI - SCI is just the gross score. No deductions
It was a free range harvest.

Many SCI members have their animals scored by SCI rather than B&C, SCI has categories for free range animals or estate animals and some hunters think the SCI system is a better system as the OP has stated.
-

Are you serious? Certainly not a ranch bull, lots of people knew where this bull lived and have seen him year around on public ground.
SCI is just total gross without deductions. OP is probably a member of SCI
-
I wasn't trying to offend anyone it's a awesome animal regardless, I think all animals should get credit for every inch they have, just haven't seen public land bulls scored sci. More of a question I guess

Congratulations on all of your bulls/bucks you have harvested in the last couple years. Truly amazing animals. I was wondering if I could borrow some of your magic dust for my applications this year? :chuckle:

His bugling was weak. He sounded like a rag bull. When he stepped out at 80 yards I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I thought this bull was dead already. Four steps forward to get a shooting lane and shot one time. It was over quick or I would have probably missed😉.

They should add Kodiak Island too. Animals from the Afognak/Raspberry herd have managed to make it to Kodiak. ADF&G isn't very happy about that, but hunters who have gotten into them are.
