I sent this to Trophy Hunter with my story but asked about posting the pic and got the ok. By some unbelievable stroke of luck I drew the hybrid tag. This was my Colorado Area 2 early season either sex rifle hunt. Which by the way is crazy to me. Who in their right mind would shoot a cow with that tag. Tons of mass and some cool devil points, though it is hard to see from the pic. The hidden one on the opposite side is almost 5". Still had some velvet which gave it some character. Not that giant elk need any more "character", but it is kinda cool. (I have never shot anything even close to his size, so everything about this elk to me is cool.)
He ended up scoring 388 5/8's gross.
A once in a lifetime bull for sure. Even better that I was able to share it with my dad (in back)and uncle (taking the pic.
