Dunkley elk!

[big game chaser]

Hey just curious if its a fact or rumor i heard a huge 8x9 non typical possibly new b.c. record bull elk was taken out that way the other day! anybody else heard of this?

[Jagermeister]

I wonder if it was one of the Novaks.

[muleychaser]

Rumor around PG is that there was an elk taken out that way that will be pushing the #1 spot in BC, apparently a few guys laid eyes on it in town.

[dana]

So let me get this straight, pushing the #1 BC spot means pushing the #2 World Record Spot. A bull that gives the Arrowhead bull a run for it's money and sits just behind ol' Spidey? This is one time the saying "This thread is useless without pics" really makes sense.

[kootenayelkslayer]

That's a heck of rumor! I've been hearing about it in the last couple days too though.

[springpin]

Need pictures!!

[dana]

Still no pics? Come on now people, lets get them posted so we can see the rumoured beast. :)

[kgriz]

God I hope not......who knows how much pressure that would bring to the area.....I like sharing my pics and I always give info to people that PM me about specific spots, but you will never see me say where I got something or provide enough background to guess ever again....I've learned my lesson hard on a fishing site that is obviously monitored by people that are in the position to shut places down.

[whitetail assasin]

Their was a monster shot in Alberta this year...but the score hasn't been revealed yet

[OutWest]

Saw pics today of a Cranbrook bull. 8X7 that I've been told goes 410. Judging from the pictures that doesn't seem like a stretch at all. It is hands down the heaviest bull I've ever seen with incredible tine length. Dana, your friend showed me the pictures this morning. Amazing BC bull.

[Sub zero]

I talked to a fellow co-worker on Monday and he's friends with the guy that shot it and he has laid eyes on it and it's true.cheers.

[Elk-Aholic]

ahhahaahhahahhaha, rumours without pictures are just like guns without bullets!

[WKCotts]

whats the word on this? been hearing some good rumors from some pretty credible sources! 3 bulls over 400....

where there's smoke there's usually fire...

Or just a dust storm.............

[big game chaser]

A friend of mine says he saw it in the back of a pick up at bonvoyage sports weather its as big as they say who knows!

[billjc33]

I've seen a picture of the so called 8x9 and if it is from around dunkley it is big but not BC record big. But viral pictures are just viral pictures, could have been took in the cute knees for all I know.

[Caveman]

It wasn't hit by a train was it?

[WKCotts]

the bull i am talking about is supposed to be bigger and from the wk

[Jimmy4x4]

The pics I have are of an 8x8 maybe there is a sticker I can't see in the photographs that would make it an 8x9. Anyway, it is well over 400 with huge circumferences and long tines. I have no details on where it came from.

[dana]

This kind of reminds me of the Selway/Bitterroot bull. ;)

[swamper]

My son works with a guy that shot a big monster up behind Dunkley and he saw pics of it. I highly doubt you will see pics of it here in the near future. It wasn't a Novak, but someone very close to them.

[Wrayzer]

Hope the pictures never see the light of the internet, for you guys' sake that hunt Dunkley area.

But since I never have and never will hunt there, and some pics of a gagger are on the internet, Jimmy send some photos my way!

[Jagermeister]

My son works with a guy that shot a big monster up behind Dunkley and he saw pics of it. I highly doubt you will see pics of it here in the near future.
It wasn't a Novak, but someone very close to them.
So chance are that the average hunter, unless associated, has no chance in hell of hunting the property where that monster was taken. Not too much sense of getting primed about it.

[bcmulie]

A guy I used to work with said his cousin ran into a guy in P.G. who said that he worked with the sister of the wife of the guy who was there when the bull was brought into town, and it's all true...:mrgreen:

Good grief...someone just post some pictures!

[swampdonkey]

Road trip to dunkley who's in. They have lots of big elk there

[KB90]

It wasn't a Novak, but someone very close to them..
Hocevar?

[BlacktailStalker]

Sounds like two different bulls to me and fwiw the 'cranbrook' one isn't from cranbrook but its a flipping pig and does indeed touch the magic '4'

[Brez]

Awesome! I l love it! Biggest bull I haven't seen - by far!!!!!!!!1

[Ourea]

I am patiently enjoying this thread play.
Those that know are respectfully being tight lipped.

Respect.

Regardless, it's one hell of a bull and props to the proud hunter. I hope he respects and comprehends what he has.
WOW



Interesting how sub-cultures are developing in regards to how real time information/knowledge is being shared.
Not just hunting...business and information trends as well.
Less main stream and more "tribe" oriented.

I learn a lot by observing how this type of info plays out.
Far more to this website and thread than just pics and stories about hunting.

...... I have digressed yet again, LOL.

World class bull, BC gem to boot.
Love it.
Congrats.

ourea out

[dana]

Here's the picture of the Dunkley bull that I recieved just minutes ago from the hunter himself and he gave me permission to post it.

[riflebuilder]

That is an amazing bull congrats t the hunter. WOW is the only way to describe it.

[Brew]

All I can say is wow. That is an absolute freak. Congrats to the hunter. Truly amazing.

[Bc Deer Hunter]

Holy S@*@%*@ that is a bloody HAWWG, once in a lifetime bull right their!!!!!1 Congratulations to the lucky hunter!!!!

[hunter1993ap]

haha ya good one!! that bull is way over 400! i think that one even breaks 500:shock: amazing if it was wild!!

[RiverOtter]

Hahahaha, that'd be the Laurentien Bull....

How come you didn't include the trough with his name on it...........????.....:mrgreen:

[scoutlt1]

Holy shite!!!!!!!

[Whonnock Boy]

Awesome! The big question, where is he going to rank?

[RiverOtter]

Wow, how quickly the suckers come outta the woodwork..........:mrgreen:

[kootenayelkslayer]

Hahah well played Dana, well played. I hope someone posts a pic soon, because I'm not getting any pics rolling into my inbox. I'm starting to feel like I'm outta the loop these days...

man i wish i was in the loop!! i barely see any elk pics!! the ones i get i enjoy but i'm lacking on pics.

[dana]

Here's a pic of the East Koots bull. Don't know the hunter but I've been sent this picture a dozen times in the last week from a dozen different unrelated people so I'll post it up anyways.

The above bull had a french accent and died a year ago.
Laurentian ranch bull.

Cheers.

The question is, do you know the second bull I posted up. That one is the wild variety.

[dana]

That's not a tag, that's duct tape holding the damn thing together cause the first bullet hit right where he was looking. ;)

[hunter1993ap]

that would be awesome if it was a bc bull!! oops just read your last post, i hope it is a bc bull.

[big game chaser]

Holy shit i should have read farther i saw that pic and made ten phone calls already then read the rest of the posts! guess im gulable!lol! now im pissed!

[dana]

LMAO!!! Gulable or just haven't been around the internet for the last 5 or 6 years. :) That Selway Bitterroot Bull has been floating around the emails and hunting sites for years now. The best pics I ever saw of him was him alive eating out of his dog dish. :)

As for the second bull, lets see who remembers that one. And nope, it isn't ranch raised. It is wild and was killed long long before Spidey was ever a glean in his mother's eye.

[Dutch Ppoacher]

reality check.... spending that much time on the net that you can memorize interweb bulls gets you a shinny gold star.
boys it is hunting season ... get out of the chair and shoot something take a picture of your own.

ourea makes a good point.

That second bull was killed long before the internet craze. And with the first bull, one didn't need to be on the net for 5 minutes and you would have seen it 10 times over. I wonder if it is going to make the emails again as a BC bull now. ;)

Come on people, a legit 500 inch bull and you guys don't recognize it? The hard-core elk guys on this site are slippin'.

[dana]

BTW,
I have seen pics of what is either the Dunkley Bull or the Koot Bull, I don't know. The bull is an absolute BEAST to say the least. I don't know if it'll make 400 with the tine length but it has MASS FROM HELL!!!!

[hunter1993ap]

Shipsey bull, grosses 502. wow what a monster. killed in arizona, or mabey idaho but for some reason cant be entered into boone and crocket. haha must be the duct tape....:razz:

[ACE]

Sept. 18+ ... pulled in a 5x5 at Dunkley .....
Could move him most days after ...... he had the cows.....
Haven't heard of any bigger bull sightings there ......
There are better places than Dunkley for elk

[dana]

Ding Ding Ding We have a winner! San Carlos Rez. Can't remember the exact particulars as why it couldn't be entered in the B&C. Was a write up about it in Trophy Hunter Mag many years ago.

[Cheetah]

I have an email pic from the Koot bull and yes Dana is right. Mass from hell is an understatement! Not sure if I can post pic as I dont have hunters permission . I did hear it was unnoficially scored around 4 hun non typ.

[The Dude]

Gonna post it , or not, D??

:D

[dana]

I'll only post it up if 10 more random guys sent it to me. By that time enough people have seen it through emails that whatever secret the hunter was trying to keep, ain't a secret anymore. ;) The simple fact is, in this day and age, if you don't want the whole world knowing about your animal, best not to show even closest friends as once it is sent once, it is sent hundreds of times.

[billjc33]

The picture of the Dunkley elk is going around PG at warp speed its no secret anymore I just don't see it as my place to post a picture of someone else without their permission. P.S its not going to push 400! 380 Maybe! Its tough to tell by the picture but if I was going to take a crack at the score I would guess 358.

Throwing numbers at a picture is always tough.
If he is only 380", it's the biggest 380" I have ever seen.
He is going to have 2 mass measurements on each beam that will push his score up 20" from that of a normal bull.
Looks pretty darn close to the magic that is 400" to me.
But again pictures are hard to judge from.

[Duidery]

I recieved a pic of a recent monster Kootenay bull.

That bull was shot a few years ago at the larention wildlife estates in Quebec...high fenced hunt, and sci world record

[dana]

Naw, you have your info wrong. That was shot in the Koots. ;)

[jml11]

Naw, you have your info wrong. That was shot in the Koots. ;)

Ya I've heard the elk down there are so tame now you can feed them out of a dish....;)

[dana]

I heard Spidey ate out of the same dish. :)

[835]

It is kinda interesting to see what happens to Elk on Steriods.....

[greenhorn]

These threads are so annoying. Did a cranker get harvested in BC or not? Do we have a pic or not?

[Duidery]

The email I received said it was shot September 25.

[dana]

Sweet Bull! And not the same bull that I got emailed pics of. So we know that is at least 2 crankers from the Koots this year. Still have yet to see a pic of the Dunkley bull.

[ramron]

I had that picture sent to me on sept 26, along with three others. I think this may be the smallest of the four.

[Duidery]

Can we see these other pictures?

[billjc33]

That one is way bigger then the Dunkley Bull!

Sure hope you have the blessing to post this picture. :roll:
Saw this one mid sept....purportedly from creston area.
I respected the fact the pic was shared with me back then and I, like select others, did not forward or POST.

This is not the Dunkley lk bull however.

The fact remains that some incredible bulls have hit the ground this season to date.
The 400" that I have pursued with conviction for 20 years has been reality for 2 or 3 resident hunters this season.
Congratulations to them.

That is BS - I believe this pic was posted several years ago & it was taken on a high fence hunt somewhere in the USA.

[dana]

You are wrong. The Dunkley hunter sent it to me just the other day. ;)

[dana]

Both the bulls posted up are big, but they ain't as big as the one I got pics of. At least from a MASS FROM HELL point of view.

Dana...I could be mistaken but I thought this bull was out of the US and was taken some time ago.
Please inform or correct.

This is the bull from the link from RAMRON

[300H&H]

Great bull but it will not make 400"

[dana]

300 HH,
Maybe you need to read the entire thread? ;)

Does anyone know the score on this bull? If not what do you guys think it will score?
kenny

[yama49]

I dont know score, but my guess would be 375-380

[REMINGTON JIM]

I think over 400 " - its a friggin monster ! Just look at the lenght of those points ! and matched up well too ! :-D

[Ourea]

I dont know score, but my guess would be 375-380

Yama49 I think is purdy darn close. Look at his bez and trez....they will push his numbers up well.
Just a clean, great scoring bull.

The guy pictured on our right bears a resemblance to a fugative that the police are seeking in a cross Canada warrant. The case is unlawful confinement of a young man. There were two fugatives, however, the younger one was found dead in NW Ontario.

[huntingpg]

any word on the 400 inch bull taken with a bow?

[knockturnal]

I heard it was taken with a blow dart tipped with poison at 63 yards in the eye.

[Eastbranch]

This sounds like a plot by the bear river boys to take pressure off their areas :lol: One big bull gets shot out of dunkley every two or three years, whoopee. It's marginal elk country to begin with, never had big numbers. The guys hunting out in Robson have been loving all this pg elk attention though, I can tell you that for sure!

[Glenny]

I heard that bull was seen doin some sparring with the Savona train buck some time ago.

Who ever saw the DUNKLEY MONSTER is it bigger than this bull

[billjc33]

Nope the Dunkley Bull is not even close to 400. It soesn't have half the tine length that one does.
