500+ Bull Elk
« on: November 21, 2016, 08:52:34 AM »
A friend from work sent me this as she knows I'm an elk hunter.  Quite the beast of a wapiti!  Posted for your viewing enjoyment  :rolleyes:

He's kneeling about 8' behind the bull, pretty much par for the course for a guy posting pics of his farm bull.  If you look closely, you can see marks from where the collar was rubbing it's neck.

It's a farm animal. The picure has been floating around a while now. At least a couple years.

Is it a possibility that something like this guy could actually exist in the wild?  By wild I mean the mountains, not any bulls running around the Hanford reservation or on farm land.

If the genetics, habitat, and next to no predator pressure are there, then there's no reason one can't be but it's unlikely.

Lol, my friend sent me this last year from someone that told him it was shot I siouxon hahaha. I told him it was a load of bs and broke his hopes and dreams of a local unit with a bull like that. Kinda like when you stop by gas station bragging boards and someone posts a Internet picture and puts a local unit down hahaha

Too funny.  It would take several to many Siouxon bulls glued together to make up the mass of this guy  :chuckle:

All that is needed to go with this farm bull is a 1,200 yard shot.   Such an exciting story that would be.

Possibly before the internet or say the cell phone or back when they managed predators. Not anymore.

Moooooooooo

 Looks like it took a elephant gun to take it down too, his rifle is longer than he is. :rolleyes:

 The photographer should have stopped down to f18 for that shot!

 This takes "long arming" to a whole new level :chuckle:
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
