One For The Record Books

[Bear Brawler]

Well it's been long enough, his wife said he wouldn't be bothered if I did this and that he would never do this on his own, sooooooo.

My buddy shot a world record Elk this past fall!! Know the guy through our wives, kids etc. Have spoken hunting a few times with him but we've always been amidst the family chaos of children, even at our house for Xmas dinner we only had about 5 minutes to talk shop but we hope to hunt together this coming fall. By his wall of mounts, I may learn a little from him also haha. Ok, here's what I know.

He was fortunate enough to draw a very desired LEH for bull Elk this past fall. He went out and found a brute haha Rosi Elk to boot. So, he did what he could when it came to measuring and I was very excited for him. Knowing he had to wait 70 days or so we kinda forgot about it till this morning. His wife called this morning saying he had taken it to the city for an official score. So, he is going with the SCI standard and scoring. From what she knew, they were sending it to be re-scored by a panel. He wouldn't let her say the score they gave him, all she would confirm is that he is definitely in the world top ten for non-typical Rosi Elk. I am not about to suffer through attempting to load the couple pics I have but if some savvy member wants to assist me, get me your email and I will send them to you to post to this thread. It's a hammer, my buddy is roughly 6' 200lb for reference in the pics.

I am just guessing here but......
"No Roads, Hard Access....No Poaching!"
Don't think that's the case in Squamish....won't say by whom;-).

It makes me REALLY HAPPY to see that bull elk like that can exist in BC...given the chance.
Just wish we could transplant them more in the province without them being poached by certain groups.
Also, I know the ranchers don't like that idea.
Anyways, too far off topic now.....but that pictures brings me a smile.

[wideopenthrottle]

what a knarly old rack on that monster...I often have wondered what a "typical" roosie racks looks like cuz all the big ones seem to be really knarly..the kind of branching that would get you deductions for other species racks yes/no? Do any roosie rack experts or peeps familiar with them know how to tell a non-typical roosie from a typical?

[guest]

Great post Great critter, congrats to the Hunter.

whats really cool about this guy is the non tippy junk ....... Love that.
