So we were in the mountains and spotted 5 elk about 2 miles out. 4 we could tell were bulls but one looked like a cow. Couldn't be so we decided to get closer to see if it was a legal spike. We moved in and a 1000 yards out got a good look. It looks like a really old bull who's right antler grows down the side of his head with a brow tine. The left side is about a 6-8 inch spike.

My son really wants this elk. We were 400 yards and closing when the wind changed and they busted us after climbing close to a mile up this canyon.

So what do you think? Is the flavor of this meat going to be bad and worth it for a wierd rack. It's definately worth the memory for us.
 
Are U in a spike only unit? cuz if U are i'm not sure that this bull would be legal. However, this bul needs to be culled from the herd

We've got them pegged I think. We relocated the group a couple of hours after getting back out of that canyon, but by then it was too late to try again. They didn't go far.

I'll be looking for him again. The group is in a spot no 4 wheelers can go and it takes alot of work. Noone else in the unit was going to that area.
