My 2017 Elk

[Fella]

I still think this is HBC's #1 story....

Did you ever score it?

Gotta be some sort of record no?

[Bugle M In]

we have had records taken for rosie's here in bc for sure.

Also, wasn't there another member who is believed to have taken a new record bull on the island?
Wasn't he just waiting for the dry out period, and then ws going to post up pics and info??

Anyways, not to take away from the OP here, as far as I am concerned, that is an epic hunt and certainly
a record elk that everyone would like to have on the wall, and to reflect back on all those memories one day.
Awesome job, again.

It was scored. It didnt go number #1. Dude said "still a 400" elk, though".

Current record in the 7th edition of the book is 419 6/8 ..... FN harvest from Pitt Lk. #2 is 396 5/8, so I assume this Indian River bull will sit at #2

yup, last I heard about the Pitt lake Bull is that they tried to sell it to Cablea's/Bass Pro for something like 80g's.
but due to it being an fn harvest, the sale was not allowed.
it now is sitting in a yard somewhere, all chewed up by rodents etc

I'm sure they found some rich sob to buy it legal or not.

Nope, from my contacts, it was sitting there, just rotting away.
A local taxidermist wanted to do something with it, but took one look at it, and said it was a waste of time.

[twoSevenO]

Pardon my ignorance but why is it illegal to sell it because it's a FN harvest?

If its mine I can do whatever I want with it, no?

Dont wreck this guys epic thread with FN crap.

Final score on the bull was 382 I believe after deductions because it wasnt very symmetrical. 400 gross. Was hanging out with the OP on the weekend and sounds like pictures of the mount may be soon to come aswel.

Well 300, 400, 500, who cares in the end, that’s an unbelievable bull and it’s awesome to see something like that! Definitely a once in a lifetime bull.
