Very nice bull, Brad! Congrats! I'm sure you'll be hunting more of these ol' boys before you're done.
Saw an old bull like yours only once, about 5 years ago when I scouting for my 75 year old Dad. We hunt in the mountains above 10,000ft elevation, so mountain hunting is all we know. Anyways, a week before the season I saw a bull at about 100 yds that looked very similar to your bull, maybe a bit bigger in antler length, but maybe not as much mass. However, his coat was almost completely white, except for his mane. Had a hard time getting out of this bed and his bugle sounded like a mule braying. I was back there on opening day with my Dad, hoping to find that bull since I knew he couldn't possibly make it much longer. Never did find him. I'd like to think he had a good ending, but I doubt it. By the way, that was my Dad's last elk hunt and he ended up getting a 5 point bull, which he was happy with. I'd bet you'll still be after it at 75! Good luck.
