Thanks for the link SSS .Farmed or wild , ait is still one big bull .I rank it a little lower if it is a farm bull .

[todbartell]

dont rank it all, its not a trophy, just a tremendous animal raised in a farm

steroid fed ..shoudlnt count

[Schmaus]

must of ate a lot of big macs to get that big.

[NEEHAMA]

i wonder how many people shoot an elk like this then take it in to get scored a while later as a wild animal?

[dana]

I doubt too many because growing bulls like that is big business for the so-called farm. They use the big bulls as their advertising. It's pretty easy for the B&C to do a background check. You get caught lying to the B&C you are banned for life on ever entering anything else.

Irregardless of the controversy - High Fence vs. wild vs farm raised,

THAT IS ONE BIG FRIGGING BULL.....

[dana]

Not that impressive when u consider all the chemicals and roids that bull was poppin'.

[tangozulu]

I am totally underwhelmed................. I do feel sorry for the pathetic life this elk has lived.
Fenced, fed steroids, probably kicked in the nuts every other day to promote the non-typical extra points. Then used for target practice by some looser who wants to impress you and me.
Who they kiddin?

I am more impressed to hear of someone taking their first grouse or antlerless dear, than I am by that. No question it is big. Shooting something behind a fence which was farm raised is by no means hunting...

[Geo.338]

tangozulu don't feel sorry for him(the elk) .He is in a better place now:lol: I agree with you guys that this is no big deal and anyone with the $ can buy one .

Worst part about it is SCI accepts these articial pets into their books. It shoud go into a farming record book. Not hunting.

LOL.... Tell you what, someone get all that meat shipped up to my house, and I'll volunteer to find out. :)

To each his own, but I don't see any appeal in a hunt like that. Has anyone seen the story about the t.v. show there trying to make, ware "profeshinal" hunters traculise fenced in bucks in a compation. I can't even start to tell you all the things I think are wrong with that.:evil:

[hunter1947]

Thats why they never got back to me ,i guess they might be a little ashamed on telling people where they got it ,i give the person a private message but he never got back to me . hunter 1947.

that elk wasnt shot by a member on here....a member just posted the pic...

[tangozulu]

SCI is very much a big part of the problem. These mental midgets would not shell out tons of cash if they couldn't get their name in a book somewhere. SCI uses this as a cash cow, more listings, more entry fees.
Anyone belonging to SCI should question their managers on how they justify this garbage.
They do a dissservice to the grand hunting tradition and to all hunters.
