i had just driven 14 hrs on a return trip from new mexico,i'm 30 minutes from the house and
there he stands.

been there done that murphys law strikes again

i've heard this bull was killed on the 11of sept and grossed 427 b&c.
will try and get some follow up pics

The way my luck goes, he would have been crapping in my back yard when I got home, then turned and walked into the park across the street.

I am sorry, I thought this was about what a person's Dream Bull Elk would be and I was gonna say a legal one about 100 yards uphill from camp on opening morning.

Really great looking bull, Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Well Congrats to whoever did shoot him. What a great bull.

Speechless! Wish ya could have gotten him.

That is an incredible bull.

Wyoming has it right when it comes to elk management. I enjoy hunting mature bulls in WY every other year during the rut. Always a chance to shoot herd bulls.

Thanks for the follow-up photos.

I heard about this bull from the game warden out of Worland that acually checked that bull in. He told me about this bull while I was up bowhunting in the Bighorns this fall. He stated the same thing you did that it was a 427 class bull and it was the biggest bull he had ever seen.

I can't believe the wolves didn't get that big bull. Thanks for sharing the picture's and how was you're trip to New Mexico, were you Bear hunting again?

Steve

Congrats to the Hunter

Holy Moley Ravenr! That is a dream bull for sure!

If you had been 'home' would you have been hunting the area where you spotted him?--not trying to rub it in, just figure that would be my luck, I would have been hunting right where I saw him on my way back home, if I'd of stayed!
