2019 Roosevelt Elk

[NMO]

We all want to see pics, and these days folks don't share them much.

I drew a limited entry tag this year for Roosevelt Elk - honestly never thought the day would come. Always ran into bulls when I lived on the island, and put in for areas with decent odds, but we all know how that goes. Plan was to come in off the saltwater, get dropped off and backpack for 14 days or until we connected. Killed this bull the 5th day ~6.5 miles up one of the drainages. Lucked out with great weather (longest sunny stretch the south coast of British Columbia has seen in 65 years), a solid group of friends, and a great bull. Both photos taken by Peter Gutsche/Tatlow Creative. Photo is a little grainy as I had to resize on imgur to fit the screen.

For any interested parties, The Journal of Mountain Hunting documented this hunt for their "Beyond The Kill - Elk Series" which can be found on their website/youtube.

So is number 3 out tomorrow or did I miss one?
Nice bull! I got a tag on the island just over a hour from my house. But had acl surgery in the fall and was bedridden through most of my hunt.
Was heartbreaking.

You're on track! 3 is out tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about the ACL, that a tough pill! Hope you're able to get back at it this season.

Awesome bull! Congrats, loving the series so far!

[NMO]

Thanks all. Appreciate the support for the elk series too! Lots of luck went into this one, between weather, drawing the area, and actually killing a good bull.

[NMO]

Nice Bull!! Love the size of the crown on his left. My buddy smacked this on this year North Island

That is a hell of a bull! Always used to joke when hunting blacktail that you were guaranteed to see the thing you didn't have a tag for (rosie's)

Neither did I, had to consult your score sheet! :cool:

Well done! A Rosie hunt is truly a special hunt. Great 1's and 2's, monstrous 3's and awesome crowns. All you could ask for in a Roosevelt. The videos so far have been a fun watch. I eagerly look forward to number 5.

[dogger]

Wow. What a cranker. Well done👍

[44inchStone]

A true Rosie!! Congrats. I can only hope for one after been applying 25 years!!
Love the hard work you put in to getting this giant too. Sure paid off!
