I think it will go over 400 and leave plenty of change. Impressive.

I didn't get to see this guy in person, as did my brother and another guide, but on the vid he sure looks huge compared to another bull that I did see (is now hanging on a wall--345" P&Y). When you compare these two bulls on the video, the 345" bull looks like a raghorn. My brother estimated this massive old bull to be near 415" - 420" gross, but he was never arrowed...

Thats a giant....about as big as they get....pick up his sheds and kill him next fall!! Upon talking with my brother this morning, he said that sheds from that bull have been found in the past, and most recently found on the neighboring ranch and 'mounted up'... score on those last sheds found (with spread credit not necessarily 100% accurate, of course) was a gross of 435" using the B&C system. So, yep, a big fella indeed! This fella in the pic below went just over 380"... if I recall correctly. Not a pretty pic... sorry 'bout that.

That's a nice healthy looking cow, Colorado1135. I actually grew up not too far from Crookston, MN... it's a bit colder and flatter than Colorado.

Yep... I know Silver Lake well. Most of my extended family still lives back in that general area.

Here's my first one ever! Just moved to CO last year and now get to live the dream! One shot, on the run at 125 yards - Marlin XS7 308Win. Guess I could post this in the "308win for Elk?" thread... NW CO, Public Land. [img:center] http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/photo.php?pid=32118714&id=11400875[/img] How do I get the pic to show?
