[Kody94]

Awesome bull. Those sword tines go on forever. Hope he spread his seed around well in September!

[Jetboater]

I have seen that bull quite a few times... even when he was younger... he always had 20 cows with him....

Thats too bad, Nice big Bull.:icon_frow I almost hit one south of Lytton back on Oct 8th. Not that one but a nice even 7x7. Scared the hell out of us.:shock:. the bugger was trying to cross the road..

[BlacktailStalker]

Lotta mass on that boy, nice bull.

[ElkMasterC]

Hit by a chip truck?
Hope it wasn't a Lay's..

...betcha can't hit just one......... :rolleyes:

[knighthunter]

Did he get to keep the antler's?

[humble hunter]

AWW that really sucks. Hopefully he had bred a ton of cows and his genes will live on. Really strong 4's would like a side pick. the second guy looks like he has to go to the bathroom or maybe just did.

Nice set of horns........I wonder where there at now??

Unfortunately I've watched plenty of trucks that don't even slow down when wildife is on the road shoulder.....

So elk hunting is good by Lytton? lol.

[bsa30-06]

When i first started hunting my partner lived in lytton and worked for the highways he would often see elk down in the high school field during the winter.I would be curious to see how many elk are in that area?and if they are increasing in numbers in the area or just maintaning the herd?I know there is no open season, or leh for elk in the Lytton area.

[Rackmastr]

Sweet bull for sure!

Not as good as it was LAST week! ;-)

[wighty]

Thats a really nice bull... thats really unfortunate and such a waste...really nice thick tines on him hopefully he bred a lot of cows this year!

[guntech]

It looks like a 6 x 6..

Are you counting that little blip on a brow tine as #7 ?

[Gr8 white hunter]

I thought it was against the law to pick up road kill and take it home? very nice anyway.

[trigger]

He manages the highways. Thats part of his job is to remove the roadkill. My dad does the same thing for LDM in Houston and Burnslake. He is always either sending guys out or going himself to remove the roadkill.

So did I...:???:

[kennyj]

I hope someone scores that thing.What do you think H47.

[ElkMasterC]

317........... net

[ELKOHOLICBC]

Thats a beauty rocky mountain elk. I would love to see one like that in my crosshairs next season. To bad it had to die, like everyone says, hopefully his genes got passed on. I think it would net higher then 317. He looks like a 330-340 bull for sure.

[trigger]

So did I...:???:

do you not read posts ? :-?:-?

[trigger]

I'm not sure what they did with it. I know if they want to keep the horns they have to apply for a permit. dunno though

[Salty]

Looks like they've kind of made their mind up about what to do with it by skinning it out? :confused:

[eastkoot]

Ya. I read posts.. The point being, they work for the road maintenance company and that doesn't allow them to do what they are doing with the elk (skinning and retaining the antlers, if they are, I don't know).. Unless they have/obtain a permit.. No different than me picking the elk up on the highway and doing what I want with it.. They can dispose of it as the contractor BUT cannot keep meat or antlers.. That's all I was getting at !!!

[mark]

lol.....laughing at the hunting bag and roll of paper towel in the back ground.

Trying to see the humor in that :confused:, Why do you find that funny??? :confused:

[835]

who really cares what he is doing with it, he works for the highways removing animals. Would you be happier if he did what he was supposed to and threw it in the dump?
as long as it was hit by a car and not a magnum (unless it was a dodge magnum) bonus for him and where he works.
permit is a govt money grab it does nothing for the wild life

[MikeH]

damn nice Bull, hope the head is still ok to mount.

Did you see, The muley known as the Walhachin warrior that was hit by a train last year by Semlin has huge antlers like that elk.
Jel -- Hot newz on that elk, it was quick, thank$ for sharing --

[Kapow]

Of all places why the heck were elk put in that area anyways ( iknow they were introduced a few years back). One major highway, two major railroads and over five Indian reserves. I travel through the Fraser canyon atleast two times a week and every year there has been atleast one elk hit that I've seen or heard of. A few that have totaled some cars and sen't people to the hospital.

Like 40 or 50 years ago. They were not put there but many miles away in the high country between Lytton and Merrit. Some of them wandered around and decided they wanted to live in the hills and canyon around Lytton.
