I talked to my son this evening and he told me that he saw a huge bull opening morning in the exact area I am hearing about.
I guess it's not impossible, and the pictures of the country side look the same as here.
I actually makes no difference to me where it was shot because I know it's possible anywhere in the area. Last year a guy I know very well had a bull tag for the same area (north of the river) about 6 miles west of there and he shot a bull that measured in the 390's. I saw pictures of it.
Another guy and I go walking 4 miles a day in several areas near by and see elk almost every day.
It would be cool to say the Pope and Young record came from my home area.
So, it may not be a rumor, but I still think it came from the Missouri Breaks or further north of here.
Curiosity is killing me,
Ken
