Threads like this always remind me of some guys from work. One guy and his son killed a pair of 1000lb cows a couple years ago. Strangely from the pictures I saw they looked like regular 350-400lb animals.
Then there was the guy who’s dad shot a 1400lb raghorn 5x5. That they proceeded to drag 1/2 a mile on a blue tarp, load into a 12’ Johnboat with a 5hp motor, and haul the elk plus the three of them back across the lake. Upon picking it up from the locker plant they were delighted to get 900lb of boned meat. The picture I saw of that one sure made it look like a regular old 500-600lb raghorn.
With my tendency to kill elk in steep brush choked hellholes I’m sure glad I never kill any 1200 pounders.
