I will post more details as I get them. it is a possible county record.
should score typical and depending on curing loss it should go into the top 15, maybe top ten in the state. don't suppose her dad is proud eh?

What'd she shoot it with? Not that it matters, just curious.

that should be common place. the fairer sex out with us Neanderthals. the proudest day of my hunting life was the day my wife got her moose, with me guiding her, with handloads I made for her. will never forget it.

deerstalker; Thanks for putting up those photos for us sir, that bull is a whopper in all respects. He's got a body much like the Manitoba subspecies castnblast posted photos of and of course a grand rack too.  If you have the opportunity to do so, please pass along congratulations to the young hunter and her father. Not that I'm looking for secret spots, but that bull very much reminds me of a couple that came from near the Castlegar area years ago. My taxidermist buddy had to find extra large forms for them and then add plaster. I helped him cape one and the head and neck were much, much larger than "normal" bulls and this one reminds me of that one. Thanks again for sharing this bull with us sir, all the best to you and good luck on your remaining hunts this fall. Dwayne

What a bull! Congrats to the girl. Was this a limited quota area? A special youth hunt? Or a general tag?
Props to the state of Idaho for this! Good job dad, thats braggin' rights for the next 20 years!
In the first picture, the head of that elk looks like a fridge Hereford!!

thought I would mention that my wife just informed me the girl is 21 or 22 years old! I know her mother is about 4 foot nothing tall and looks like a pixy. I haven't met this girl but have worked with her dad. good people all around. I have dreams of getting a bull like that. have been dreaming of a bull like that for 50 years of hunting now. guess I better get them to guide me! lol.

I also have had the pleasure of working with the girls dad and uncles deerstalker... Same industries, small world, paths cross The whole family is all about the hunt, be it shed antlers, elk, deer, bear. A bull that big from 'them parts' of the state to be most general, only happen every 20 some years or so. Makes me happy to see young'ens get'n some of that glory.
happiness is elbow deep in elk guts.

Dad and daughter can both be proud for many reasons. Awesome bull but far from the most important of those reasons.
Congrats to both.
