Once it gets to that point both are no longer interesting.

High fences are Jurassic Park for cervids.

Note the early Sitka loincloth.

Any pics of he/she using the chop saw?

Price not listed for what he shot. Over 9k for a 340-360 bull.

Not to take away from the guys hunt, but he said it's not like they just kick it in a field and you go shoot it. It's only a 10,000 acre ranch, in relation to a wild elks habitat that's really not that big. Maybe they didn't kick it out of a pen for him to tag it, but it wouldn't be relatable to an actual wild elk hunt. Tamed elk don't belong in the record books in my opinion.

SO gross.

Is this the ranch that likely brought cwd into idaho?

Odds that its part red stag?

Tamed elk don't belong in the record books in my opinion.

But...from the article:

"The bull elk could possibly set a new world record in Safari Club International’s Record Book, which is considered the gold standard of encyclopedias of big-game animals."

/sarcasm

I'm glad the guy is happy with it. I also wish operations like Broadmouth Canyon didn't exist.

He might be able to pull his story off with city people who have never seen a lawn… maybe.

I would have shot a yuge bull this year…damn economy is down…couldn’t afford a spike. Maybe next year

Edit: I feel this should go in the unsuccessful excuses thread

I have no problem with the guy killing a penned elk. I do hate that they are included in records.

Maybe I'm just an asshole, but I have no interest in shooting an animal like that. That rack is ugly AF.

Now, that bull @NVLongbow shot with Randy is another story. That's a beauty bull and rack
