California Northwest Elk tag success

[hntnfsh67]

Well we got one bull down on Sunday and have one to go. Here is a picture of my bull with my friend and elk caller Dave. He is a 8x9 rosie if you count the extra on his right side and the double eye guards over his brow tines. Bull was taken on private land that I leased for the hunt. Took five days to finally see his rack. Tons of cows and spikes but the only branch bull I needed to see. Will post more pics and the story when I get back from the rest of the hunt.

Great bull Matt! Congratulations! Keep after them.

Did you hear about the 355+ bull taken out by Pilot Rock? I haven't seen the photo yet.

Hey Eel,

Have not heard about that big of a bull....yet. Word travels fast around here. I finished up the hunt late Thursday with my buddy taking a cow. Then I headed straight to Washington for my dad's wedding. Just got back last night. Last two weeks have been a whirl wind.

Bull is at the taxidermy shop and am picking up the meat tonight after I go get my daughter's first puppy (choc lab). Will post score and pics when I get home.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Well I finally got time to post a couple more pics.

Eel, I did see pics of the bull you mentioned...PIG of a Rosie, green score is 342" I believe. Can't post name of hunter or pic since I do not have permission. But its huge.
