What an outfitter. Get a call about a trophy elk, drive 90 min, shoot it with your 6.5 CM.

Here's the article that was written after the trial, they were found guilty of most charges. The hunter that won the governor's tag on a $25 raffle ticket and was following the advice of the guides was the biggest loser in that whole situation IMO.

EDIT: To clarify, the above elk was legally taken and these links were to a different monster bull shot too close to a road in the 2019 season with the same outfitter

Hell of a bull, those PA bulls are unreal.

So this isn't the same bull?

Nope, 2 different bulls shot about a year apart

I always forget about those non-western states where they have elk again. It appears PA has what it takes to grow monsters!

Interesting sort of back story... After the 2019 outfitter "incident", the organization that holds the raffle decided to go with another outfitter to provide the guide services for the raffle tag. So it's my understanding that the 2020 hunter went out and hired the guide with the previous violation out of his own pocket.

This post inspired me to hunt up some photos I have heck I'm guessing maybe 20 years ago? A massive 8 by 8 bull or 7 by 7 with 60 plus inch beams. He was the first bull we saw when we visited Benezette and was in the yard of an old cabin knocking apples off a tree with his horns. Crazy big

The extinct eastern elk were even bigger, excellent elk habitat and limited pressure here now. Too much agriculture for the game commission to really let them retake their range.

Not enough tags,they are fun to look at until they’re tearing your round bales apart.
