MAN Thats a Brute. Congrats.  

What a bull-congrats-gives me the fever.

Man oh man!  

great story and bull!

I just enjoyed it all: the story, the pictures, the bull, and the thrill one feels with someone else's successful hunt. Good job!

ONCE MORE,JOB WELL DONE,,,,AWESOME

Outstanding bull and you told a great story. The pictures are great. That bull is the trophy of a lifetime and you earned it! What are the specs on your your bow, arrows and broadhead?

Found your specs on page 3. Nice setup, a lot of FOC and you put the arrow right where it needed to be.

I am jumping on the bandwagon way late but it has to be said...HOLY SMOKES! That bull is unreal! Way to get it done.      

Awesome Trophy!!!

Well I was pleasantly surprised to see someone brought this thread back up.

Yes tradshooter you are right...lots of FOC.

One of the disadvantages of spending three weeks in the mountains like I did last year is that I missed out on a lot of great threads like this one.  I don't think I saw this before today.  But on the plus side it sure is cool to see it now!
Absolutely a stunning animal Randy - congratulations!!!  You sure give us something to dream about as we wait for the tag drawings this spring!!

I also missed this thread I hunted Elk the hardest I ever had last year I came close but no elk. This thread has put the rush back into me hurry up Sept. That is awesome Bull CONGRATULATION!!

great story, thank you for sharing.

Heck I missed this one also, as I was out chasing them at the same time.  What a great story and elk.  Well done!

Trax and Randy,

Not sure you guys are really on opposite sides of the coin, but that is only guessing from what was posted and how I read it.

I think there is wisdom in wanting "better management" than the "oh, poor fuzzy bears" attitude that has seeped into even Western game management by a very vocal minority.

I think Trax also makes good points, but I don't see the two views (asperceived by me)as actually opposing viewpoints. Both are viable in the same situation.  FWIW.

Randy,

The animal is an incredible dream come true, but to have the chance to DO what you did in the country you were in, and do it all on your own, is at least as awe-inspiring to me as the bull itself!

Lived in MT for 6 yrs...and never felt like I could take a deep enough breath to drink in all that my eyes saw and memory tries to relive.

Congrats on you. The entire experience is what many of us dream about into our aged years. To have done it must be something that will take years to become totally REAL, even to you!

     

Good job, congrats..♠      

awesome

MAN!  I have seen that bull in my dreams MANY times!  CONGRATULATIONS!  Steve

Incredible bull! Great job!
