I really don't care for velvet, I would have loved to see the elk all rubbed out. It would look way better during september, I wonder why he shot it so soon. Anyway, what do I think, almost dissapointed that it didn't breed or rub his antlers to a nice polish. Not my money though, so my opionon really doesn't mean much.

A dandy bull. It was probably in a area that other hunters could have had a chance to killed him. So they wanted to take it as soon as possible so someone else did not take him. That would be my guess.

It was the 2011 gov. tag, but just shot not too long ago. Not sure of the last day of the season, but I think time was running out.
