We got thoses mangey things all over the state. I had to shoo one bigger than that out of my garden this morning.

 

[Ol Bull Shooter]

Damn nice Bull! Congrats to the hunter who got him

 

[T Bone]

Is that a Rocky Mtn or a Rosie? Can't be a Tule

 

[feclnogn]

and to expand on Tbones ?? is that a free range elk or a ranch kill elk. I don't know squat about Cali elk. At any rate that is one really nice elk.

Maybe not, the Tejon ranch re-introduced the elk back a while ago. The tejon is a huge ranch (10's of thousands acres)and is not high fenced.

Central and Northern Cal produce some big bulls, both Rocky Mtn and Roosevelt. But that thing has grain-fed written all over it.

The picture is in a wide open pasture, dont know if that is where it was killed though as it has been caped out.

The elk does have a tag on the horn though which leads me to believe it is a real hunt.

 

[JoseCuervo]

The tag on the antler is actually the MasterCard receipt.

The Tejon ranch is a 270,000 acre cattle ranch and is only fenced for cattle...5 strand barbed wire. The elk are rocky mtn. and were released on a neighboring ranch in the 60's. They are free ranging but live in a very mild climate for elk. No bad winter, no migrating to winter areas and virtually no hunting pressure. They are not fed or fenced . I wouldn't consider it a real tough hunt though. He wasn't killed in the pasture he was photographed in and the terrain does get fairly rough. It is a pefect hunt for someone that can't or doesn't want to tackle a very strenuous hunt. I believe the cost is $16500 which is alot of money but reasonable for a very good chance at a 400" wild bull. B&C does accept bulls from his ranch.
