Elk of a lifetime

[Elkwhisper]

Best scoring...but not the one with the most antler.....

 

[npaden]

No cape in the bed of that truck. I half expect a larger score sheet to appear

Probably not many people doing euro mounts on 400"+ bulls.

Well I guess this is the thread and guy comes to if he wants to drool all over himself...lol

You guys have taken some impressive bulls to say the least!

I'll throw up a couple of dinks. I've never taken a really big bull, these ones are pretty typical of what I find most years

But this is my " best bull" it was the first year hunting after brain surgery and I was thrilled to just be able to take an elk with my bow again

No monster but right at the 300 inch mark. First elk hunt in Colorado.

Waiting to see @psinclair and his traditional bow bull. Can't remember the score but with traditional bow adds at least 50". I need to really up my game it appears.

Gardenswartz?

You got it! Lots of nice mounts in that place. That bull stands out, though.

Cool place for sure.

I've been a pretty terrible elk hunter. Lived in the land of giants and this was the best I could muster up. Can't remember the exact number but was in the neighborhood of 285. Best part was I had a guy try to take it from me. Thankfully I was shooting a 2 blade and he was shooting a 3 blade otherwise I don't think he would have dropped it.

I’ll post up my bull from 2013 again since I already posted it in the “best” category.

Official score shows 369 4/8 but that doesn’t count the devils tine of 2 7/8 that just goes in as a deduction for the official score. I count it in my version of gross score which gets it to 372 3/8.

Most of the tines are long but what gets him in the book is the way his main beams go forever after his 5ths.

That top one is pretty close to the one at Te Anau NZ, 55 is great

A few I've brought home for the larder and gable end. No impressive numbers ... but they are all trophies to me!

 

[SC Living Outdoors]

Some absolute slammer bulls in this thread. I'm ready to get out there and get after it.

 

[MNElkNut]

A really fun hunt. North of 300.

 

[sclancy27]

Biggest is 336" or 338", I can't remember. Smallest is 300" (of my 300+ bulls). 3 Special tags, 2 general. All MT. Here's a couple.

 

[Drake4]

Never had him scored. Wish I would have. Don't think he'd quite make 370" though.

 

[Carnage2011]

Hunttalk has some killers! Awesome bulls all around on here.

I’ve been pretty lucky and have killed quite a few elk. This one is one of my favorites.we busted our asses killed him second from last day in an absolute shit hole. About 20 min after this picture was taken he only had one main beam as I decided I wasn’t worth trying break him down in a rock face and gave him the boot and when he stopped rolling he was missing a main beam. Ow ya Oregon rosie

I got pretty lucky on this one....

Hope that thing was headed in the right direction

I'll get schooled soon enough...373 and change gross and 358 5/8 net and entered in P&Y. I'm sure lotalotaBS will be along to challenge the score.
