sampson · Mar 15, 2004

Yea, but did they get any big ones?

RLH · Mar 15, 2004

that's a nice bull, but the hunter looks like he was bobbin' for guacomole'.

fletch · Mar 15, 2004

How do you get that big of an animal out whole?

GrandpaNasty · Mar 15, 2004

Beast of an elk! In my dreams I could find one like that.

fletch

IT TOOK AN F-350 TO GET THAT ELK WHOLE!!!

ANY OTHER BRAND,YOU'D OF HAD TO CUT THE ELK IN HALF!!!

THE ONLY bobcat NOT KNOWING IF I'VE GOT RIG ENOUGH FOR A BULL LIKE THAT OR NOT!!!

Notice he's parked next to a tree....
Old bowhunting trick, pull your truck up next to a tree and winch him up using branches on the tree and lower him into the bed.

fletch · Mar 15, 2004

I hear a fork and a bottle of A-1 works well too! nice animal any way you cut him!

BUGLELK · Mar 16, 2004

Yeah, all those low hanging limbs on the Ponderosa Pine make it really easy to winch a bull elk into the back of a truck...

Craig · Mar 16, 2004

Nice bull from Washington.

Cass · Mar 16, 2004

I'd suppose so, since he is hanging between two of them in the bottom picture.

BUGLELK · Mar 16, 2004

If you look very, very closely at the bottom picture, Cass, you'll notice there is a house about 3 feet behind the elk. Also, the 2 trees that are about 4 feet apart would make this location a great place to erect a meat pole.

However, a lone Ponderosa pine with no branches would make it very, very difficult to "winch the bull" into the back of the truck. Don't you guys have Yellow pine down there in Vegas???

Next time, try saying something like this... "Old Bowhunter trick...notice the dark shadow on the ground next to the truck? This is where they placed the pre-dug hole that they backed their truck into, which enabled them to drag the whole elk into the bed of the truck." It's more believable...

you have to remember cass is only 16. and he has been hunting all his life. 3 years at the most,
with all that knolage behind him, its understandable that what he says is either jiberish or coppy cat, being that he has never encountered such experiances himself.
I try to use the truck to hange them in the tree,
with that said
i will comment on the bull, heck of a nice bull.

nvhunter · Mar 16, 2004

cmon cass..old "bowhunting trick" ????? do you really think that bowhunters were the first to come up with a way to load an elk?? maybe...just who was this first "bowhunting genious"? and maybe you missed the christmas lights hanging from the house in the second picture. Very, very nice bull, super wide!!

RLH · Mar 16, 2004

i have a 2000 lb winch on my headache rack. works real well for elk. won't tug an adult walrus tho. elk ain't that hard to load. 2 guys can put one in a truck pretty easy. if it ain't jacked up sky high. there's a method to it, but it ain't hard. i like to load em head first tho. lot easier to handle when you get to where you're gonna hang and skin em.

Buckrub · Mar 16, 2004

To hell w/ the truck, the house and the "ol'bowhunter trick", let's just enjoy look'in at one big trophy Elk !!!!

LAST EDITED ON Mar-17-04 AT 01:12PM (MST)[p]There might have been a bunch of dudes present to help load that bull whole. We loaded two big bulls whole in AZ last year but there was five guys present to help. One guy on each leg and one on the head and up they went. It also helps when you're 6'3 and weigh 245-LOL!!!!(Hey antlerboy-you need to hit the weights brotha'-LOL!)

The pictures of this bull it on a couple of other sites. They say it was shot around Ellensburg,WA and is said to score around 417 shot during the archery season.

I don't know anything about this bull and have no idea how to judge the size of a bull so everyone that thinks this bull is not that big I am just passing on the information that I seen about this bull. Not many people think the bull is that big but the ones that have seen it say it's bigger then it looks.

RLH · Mar 17, 2004

i'd be surprised if it scored that much. especially net. no doubt it is a nice bull. about as wide as you ever see and super main beams. real heavy too. but i don't see tine length to add up to 417. it's just a couple photos, and they can be deceiving. and i ain't trying to take away from it. but 417 seems little high. hope somebody that has the dead skinny will tell us.

chinochief · Mar 17, 2004

417? I don't think it'll score that high either but it is still an awesome bull and congrats to the hunter. That is one hell of a trophy with a bow.

yeah it is nice when you have to load them big boys in them, my dads 6'4 300 and im 6'2 265, when ever we get an elk down, we tie a rope around his antlers and connect it to a winch, tie a rope to the frame of the truck and then to the winch, we have grandpa use the winch, and dad and i lift the ass and push the old bastard in, works realy well we have only got the pleasure of using the winch in the tree trick one time

oh boy that makes my sticker peck out
is it september yet

SticknString · Mar 26, 2004

I'm from Washington and my hunting buddy knows the guy who shot it, and the story goes something like this, as far as I know...... The guy was going to where he was planning on hunting and drove past this old couple parked and the man was looking through some bino's, so he stopped and asked what the guy was looking at? The guy said, that elk right there, so he looked up the draw and didn't see anything, so he said where? The man points off the road like 40 yards and there is this monster bull standing in the open feeding. Apparently his jaw hit the ground and stayed there for a bit, but when he got his wits about him again, he said,"man thats a nice bull!" The guy says yeah, its too bad no one has a tag to shoot that thing, and fortunately he did, and said,"well I do." He said he felt bad about shooting the thing right in front of the couple, but the guy was like, yeah go ahead. So he used there car of all things to hide behind, drew, and the big fella walked out, still feeding, and he whacked it! The bull ran like 50-60 yards down the hill, and about died in the middle of the road, so he called some buddies and they loaded the beast into the back of the truck whole, I think it took five of them. Man do I wish I could see a bull like that just feeding 40 yards off the road!
