I always thought that the people pushing "shoot more bulls to get the elk numbers down" were blowing smoke. Now I am starting to think differently.

good picture of a 344 gross bull...

Poor photo of a 355 gross bull...
by far the biggest-bodied elk I've seen, aged at 8.5 -I thought it was a 310 bull when I shot

I'm trying to bait him into posting some more bulls that are actually big...

Lots are smaller and I listed them. I’ve got a friend that’s taken maybe a dozen bigger than my biggest and most of theM with archery. He’s literally got 400” elk racks hanging from his garage rafters.

Burns? I’ve always wondered what he does with all those big guys

This is an awesome bull, looks bigger than the score you list. What do they rub their antlers on there, aspens? Got to be some trees somewhere.

not one single tree in this unit, besides the odd old shelterbelt farmyard.

 

[bonedogg]

Must score different north of the border. That looks much bigger than 356.

our group got 348" and change, the taxidermist got 356" when he did it. So pretty close to that I am guessing...

Never measured this one. Sawed the antlers off and sold them. I’m guessing 300 maybe. It’s a LONGARM picture.

Are all of your zooms .5!?! Now it all makes sense!

Now that’s a Coors Light… a tall slim can makes ‘em look thicker.

1999. I think it was over 300 even with busted right 4, but do not have a scoresheet or the antlers to confirm. I mostly remember he was a 3 legged elk (tripod). That same year my friend shot a 2-legged (bipod)elk 5x5 measured 287. It had been attacked by a bear or lion and was basically a mercy killing.

NM 1999. Lilley Mt in the background. Gila Wilderness. My friends bull was in 320s, found score sheet on mine.

2014 was the last year I thought hunting was still really great close to home. I got an elk during archery then hunted a lot of rifle with my son and friends. Top was 360s, bottom think around 300(a good picture).

Awesome bulls all around. I feel like this is applicable to this thread:

I'll bet that was a great trip.

Incredible bulls, my take aways from this thread:

1. When Greenhorn says the hunting has changed in MT, might best just listen to what he's saying.

2. Guessing score is difficult, especially with deceptive photos.

3. I don't really care about score, especially net, two totally different bulls can have the same score, and some of my favorite bulls you all posted weren't always the biggest.

My wife's bulls, 351, 352 with the broken tines. The broken pedicle bull is a favorite and in my top 5 of all time elk hunts.
