Anybody seen pics of the 400+ bull killed in KY? What a stud. Maybe someone can put up a pic.

Beautiful bull, great mass!

Tough to say from the photo, but it doesn't look 400"... time will tell, and I'm often wrong smile

Look at all that crowning and dark antlers-aren't the KY elk Rocky Mountain elk?

I can see 400" but it's a picture, it's tough....

That mass is unreal and could make up for tons of tine length to get there.... Without a doubt over 350" IMO...

Probably a “gross” score not net.
But I can see near 400 with the mass, it’s unreal plus it has two extra points to score.

holy big elk batman. The mass is amazing, the guy can't even get his hand around the antler between the 3rd and 4th. I can see 400", I think the mass makes everything else look relatively short.

Thing about mass is it doesn't help score as much as one might think... regardless, I could give a rat's rear end about B&C score. Olld, dark, heavy antlers are what float my boat... and palmation is a bonus!

That's a lot more than a 350 bull.................but pics are always hard to judge, especially real close up ones w/o much perspective.

But is big, nonetheless.

Wisconsin DNR has been importing elk from Kentucky, it would be great if some have that bull's genes.

Great job KY! I think it helps a bunch to have limited predators chasing after those elk, easy winters too.
