LAST EDITED ON Dec-09-13 AT 10:00AM (MST)[p]A family friend Howard Sorensen of Oakley, Utah shot this beautiful bull on the 8th day of his late Boulder (not beaver, sorry I can't edit the title) Elk hunt. Short story below. Scored 375" with a 57" spread.

Written by Peter Sorenson (Howard's son). "This hunt was a harder than I think any of us anticipated with as warm and mild as the weather was the whole time (great camping weather). We had blue bird skies with 60 degree weather, no snow, and a full moon every night. This had the elk bedding early and getting up to move almost at dark. We didn't hear a single bugle the whole time and only saw a few cows in the area we were hunting.

My dad had two of us spotting for him most the hunt and usually we would see either a lone bull or as many as about three or four bulls together right at dusk or dawn. From our vantage point we would try to radio Howard into where they were but my dad hunted the first five days with never so much as an opportunity to take a long shot at a rag horn. On the sixth day we found a nice bull (345ish) that gave my dad the slip when he was within shooting range on a few different occasions. On the eighth day the stars aligned and this monster bull made the mistake of feeding back to his bed too late in the morning. We never saw this bull prior to my dad shooting it. He scored 375 and had a 57 inch spread. The guy who scored him for us estimated he has about 5 inches of broken horn as well. This bulls 4th 5th and 6th points are what make him such a cool bull, they are just heavy and long."

I sure am impressed with these guys sticking it out and getting an amazing bull! Does 375" seem right? Either way, beautiful trophy!

Awesome bull...I'd agree with the 375 give or take a few. Good job for sticking with it.

awesome bull! congrats to your Dad.
I'd agree with 375" Big tops like that always make people think it scores more than it actually does... The 3rds aren't great and the 2nd's don't look terrific either so that is where it "loses" inches. If a person can really say a 375 is short on inches, lol

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?
 
Congrats to your Dad. Great bull and don't get all wrapped up in inches. Great looking bull and for what you were seeing totally awesome bull!!!
 
Do you have any front pics? I'd like to see the width. I shot a bull in 07 that has a 63" outside spread.
Sweet bull!

Mntman nailed it with his synopses.

Great bull!

Just one small thing though, It came off the Boulder late hunt,
NOT the Beaver .....

Thanks for the clarification Goof.

Whether it's the Beaver or the Boulder - that is a smoker bull!

HOOK 'EM!

The pictures are up close of him and he still a monster. I cant see him going less than 370 or over 390. Score him and let us know.

Wow Great Bull, Congrat to the hunter. That is sure going to look good on the wall.
