MT 2014 OTC Bull

[Stubaby]

Here's a pic of the bull I killed with my general elk licence. Heavily hunted public land in nasty A$$ county. Can't say enough about good glass and determination when it comes to this type of hunting.

Another pic.......

He was with two other bulls when I spotted him. Long ways of. Did I mention the terrain was a beotch!!!

 

[Stubaby]

One more for the road.

That is some ugly nasty country when it is littered with burned down fall that is covered with snot-slippery snow. Congrats.

 

[JohnCushman]

Congrats!!! My knees hurt just looking at that terrain

 

[Lv2hnt]

Thumbs up on your bull! Challenging pack out even without all the snow --- my quads are burning just thinking about it. Enjoy your steaks --- you earned 'em!

[LCH]

Great bull.. Congrats on your hard earned trophy.

 

[L. I. Yankee]

Nice elk....Congrats.....

 

[Slam]

Stu, that country looks real similar to what I hunted in 2008, 2 yrs after the fire. Treacherous stuff. Nice bull. Hope you had pack animals to get it out.

 

[Gr8bawana]

Great bull and that nasty looking country is awsome. It keeps all the lazy hunters out.

 

[Stubaby]

Kids were super stoked to get thier hands on it

 

[Stubaby]

Then started the putrid-smelling part.

Very nice!!

Are you using a water heater element for the boil? I've looked at a few plans for making my own as I have a few skulls in the freezer that need cleaned up.

 

[MT_elk]

Congrats! I'd be interested in your boiling setup as well. I'm looking for an easier way to boil my skulls.

 

[Stubaby]

It's my buddy's setup. But this is what he says:
"
I used an out door thermometer with two water heater coils ran in series it works really good temp sits at about 180 degrees! Used a pipe fitting with a gasket to attach the heating coils to the drum "
I know it's s 25 gallon plastic drum from tractor supply.


I know it pulls a lot of power because at another friends house the breaker kept blow in when the wife turned the tv on he same line : )

Nice bull. The MT guys on this site do a better job promoting the state than the MT Office of Tourism could do.

 

[oldillini]

Congrats on that very nice bull. You had to have a great deal of dedication to work through that terrain.
