Wow! I gotta tell you boys, there aint much in life more exciting than having bugling bulls coming in. Seeing something like that would have been something.

He'll be smiling for weeks to come!
Not to mention everytime he looks at that mounted on the wall, reliving the memory of that adrenaline rush.
I have long said that there is no other thing that gets the blood pumping quite like a bull elk bugling at you within a stones throw, that you can enjoy doing out in the wilds!

That is an amazing animal. Congratulations to the hunter for "keeping it together" and executing a fine shot when faced with such an exciting situation.

I don’t like that the crossbow is considered “archery” placing it in the same category as vertical bow shooters. Nonetheless that is a tremendous bull.
All those decades without elk at all and now Look at the numbers and trophy quality available!

So there is not, at this point, a single reference to the elk or the hunter in the officers citation. There exists a filling date, a county reference and the guides names, two separate citations reportedly.The author couldn’t wait to tie the two events, trespass and the bull together. The PC affidavit will certainly eliminate any conjecture to the bulls involvement but at this point it is just conjecture. Pretty poor reporting in my mind even with the understanding, after 20 years a cop, there is no such thing as coincidence. One way or the other now folks are going to be disparaging this great bull and those involved.
