He's not the biggest bull on the mountain but he's mine! At least I'm eating this one and the wolves aren't.

was that on a late tag?

Buckhunter1955 · Dec 4, 2010

Yes, this was a late tag that I drew with max points. I'm catching hell for shooting on the first day, but I couldn't walk away from this bull.

Trust me, I know what you were thinking! Nice bull.

COSA · Dec 4, 2010

Nice bull for sure. This was one of the areas I was mulling around for next year's application. Unfortunately the 2011 brochure does not have this hunt listed any longer. Looks like they did away with a couple of late hunts?

Looks like a keeper to me! Nice bull! Congrats!!

Very nice bull. I had the same tag once upon a time and shot a nice bull. I remember the bull I shot, but it's the beautiful country I remember the most.

great bull...

Nicely done. That's a great bull! If you don't mind saying, what drainage did you get him in? I had that tag about a decade ago and spent most of my hunt in Green cr. and clocktower.

Buckhunter1955 · Dec 7, 2010

We were probably less than 2 miles up Elk Fork. We saw a couple bulls bigger but they were pretty well broken up.

nfh · Dec 7, 2010

nice bull for that area. i do a lot of riding there. gets pretty crowded up there for people that have lete cow tags

Nice bull. Looks like you were one of the last to enjoy this hunt.

Looks like they did away with or moved into October all the east side Yellowstone migration hunts...Can we cry wolf?

Here's an update on this bull. He had an ear tag when killed and it was turned into Wyoming Fish & Wildlife. As it turns out this bull was tagged in 2005 as a two year old in Kemmerer Wyoming. That's 184 miles as the crow flies. This was one well traveled elk, and maybe the last one taken out of unit 56 on a late tag.

Whats the Weatherby chambered in?

Buckhunter1955 · Jan 13, 2011

It's a .300 Weatherby Mag that I bought new in 1974. With 3.5x10 Leupold scope I payed $615.79, I saved all summer to buy this rifle. It's been from Africa to Kodiak Island to Wyoming and all points in-between.

184 miles! Are you kidding me! Wow thats impressive. Very nice bull too, congrats!

rmanwill · Jan 14, 2011

Sweet bull. Hope the wolves chock on his rib cage!!!

Gator · Jan 14, 2011

Nice Bull, That alot of miles to travel, If that bull could of talk and told us of his travels that would be a heck of a story.
