I just got a picture of a 540 class B&C bull elk from some friends of ours who live on the ranch the bull came off of..
The ranch is a Texas Ranch near Marathon, Texas, it is 150,000 ac. ranch, low fenced that supports a great herd of big elk..They only shoot very few bulls off this ranch..It is near where I was raised..
He is just unbelievealbly huge...
I can't post pictures but I can send one to anyone thats interested in seeing what a 540 bull looks like..I have seen a lot of elk in my life both on the ground and mounted but never one like this big boy.

So this bull came off a place in Texas and you know which ranch? I sure would like to see a pic of this bull and hope you can email pic of it to someone here and they can put it up.
The story sounds kind of familar I would say.
Does the pic have a couple of fellas in it, perhaps a father/son?
Thx
Dober

I'd like to see it too.
The bull propably came from the Glass Mountains near Marathon. I have seen some MONSTER bulls come from that area.
If it did, these ARE NOT GAME RANCHED ELK!!!!!!!!!
They were released by TPWD I believe many yrs ago to restablish wild elk in that area which elk were once native to. Those mountains in the Big Bend area are actually the southern most tip of the Rockies, many people forget or don't realize that.
I know the BOSS ranch has quite a few. These are wild elk.
But I think you have to give both legs, your first born and your entire family inheritance to hunt them. In other words 99.95% of us will never get to.
