Well since I haven't taken pictures of any of the floppy eared deer or elk I've put on the ground this year, I got permission to post a pic of my Dad's NW MT Bull. He killed it during the second week of season, no snow on the ground yet. Not much for story as he tells it. "Spotted the bull with about 20 cows and a couple raggy 6's(which may not have been so raggy judging by the size of this guy) at about 800 yards out. Made a play on'em behind that real steep ridge where you came off the mountain in the deep snow that one Thanksgiving, you remember that spot? Got to about 130 yards and he walked outta the timber and I dumped him. He was a little better than what I thought." Far as I know this is the only picture taken of the Bull that wasn't taken with an old film camera. Brother took it with his cell phone when he met Dad at the Taxidermy shop, so if it's kinda crummy, sorry bout that.
Despite having killed a lot of bulls, Dad has decided this one is worthy of his first shoulder mount. Taxidermist who has been working in the Flathead Valley for 38 years scored it at 373 2/8 as a 6x6, and 386 gross with the 7ths added in. All in all Dad is pretty happy with this bull, although I think he was even more excited getting his Grandson and Granddaughter cow elk later in the season. Like I said not the greatest pic, but for reference, Dad measures in at 6'2" and weighs in around 275. Enjoy.
