Was this a public land bull?? Kinda funny it's been asked a couple times and not answered, I'll go ahead and say it, no..... WTF asks where a guy killed an animal? It was right there in the subject line - Montana.

As said, repeatedly, awesome bull and thanks for sharing. Can you post a picture of last years bull (2014) and this one . . . . for comparison.
I remember last years . . . . . it was a big bull with unique antlers.
Thanks, again.

Incredible bull and pics. Thanks for posting. A trophy that very few hunters will ever match.
I cringe when I see this public/private land question pushed on someone like scenarshooter because, if you are familiar with the forum, you know he's a respected hunter and valuable contributor. That wouldn't change if it were public, private, or if he killed no bull at all.
The flip side of that though is that I absolutely feel it is a legitimate question that anyone has a right to ask. There are guys here hunting private ranches, some ranches with 80%, 90%, 100% success rates, sometimes guided, and then writing several pages about their big accomplishment while keeping the private land part small or even hidden.
I appreciate it when someone asks that question or when the hunter makes it clear the circumstances.

It may be a legitimate question. Lots of times, it's all in how the question is put forward. The delivery, or rather the follow-up, sucked ass.

Pat,
A little late to the post. I was out myself, albeit chasing MUCH smaller elk. Grin.
Congrats on another world-class trophy animal and thanks once again for the write-up and pictures. Phenomenal effort and awesome execution of a great plan. I'm sure the story does not do the effort justice.
I'm afraid to ask what next!

I appreciate it when someone asks that question or when the hunter makes it clear the circumstances. I've got nothing to hide at all...trust me, this was a fair chase hunt, on a wild elk herd. I sensed a hint from one post, that I took this bull behind a high fence, hence my reaction.. FWIW, I've killed most of my best bucks, bears, and bulls on public land.
Luck....is the residue of design... ![[Linked Image]](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp311/patrickgsinclair/96zvyt.gif)

Well, I have self appointed my self as the official "checker" and hereby declare that you private message me the GPS coordinates to all the big bucks, bears, and bull elk you have harvested (grin). This is for everyone's sake . . . . and "no", I'm not thinking of myself.
