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!
