Update us when he's up on the wall at the fly shop, I don't even fly fish much but I'll definitely stop in to see this thing in person!

You bet, plan is to move a big bull elk out of the way and hang this bad boy up there. It will be about 2 years before the mount is done I believe.

Stellar bull  :tup:. Congrats....
But don't you feel just a little cheated....I mean in the road...all that planning, preparation and you didn't even get to pack it for days on end in miserable conditions.. :chuckle:

A little bit yes.... but I am getting over it  :)

Congratulations.  There has been a lot of people after that bull for several years.  I think I know of several sheds from that bull too.  I will be curious of the age once you find out.  I have heard it has green scored around 195".

A really nice dude that I have gotten to know gave me a pic that might be him a few years ago, so hard to tell. Would love to see a shed side by side.

You should name him the Incredibull. Fantastic.
