this is a friend of my sister in law. her dad called this bad boy in and the little girl in the picture closed the deal.
green score 388


happy campers.

Wow, what a bull, congrats to her!! And the old man.

I will post more details as I get them. it is a possible county record.
should score typical and depending on curing loss it should go into the top 15, maybe top ten in the state. don't suppose her dad is proud eh?

What'd she shoot it with? Not that it matters, just curious.

Good Lord...congrats to the sweetie!

Beautiful bull, nice to see, congratulations.

soon as I find out for sure smoke I will post it. seems I heard she uses a 7-08
the neck on that beast looks like a bison's

Nice!!!!!! good for her!!!!!!!!

Way to go-super bull!

Love the smiles.

Good stuff.

Congrats to the young lady.

Amazing bull! Probably taken with a minimal cartridge too.

Congratulations. That bull is a BEAST!

Congratulations to the young lady!

My guess is that she will be anxious for next elk season.

Wow and she found a flat place to shoot it

Mike

Awesome.. Congrats to both of them!

That is completely off the rails. Wow and congrats to that young lady. Amazing bull.

My goodness, what an elk! Good for her.

Great bull congrats to the young lady and her dad for helping.

that should be common place. the fairer sex out with us Neanderthals. the proudest day of my hunting life was the day my wife got her moose, with me guiding her, with handloads I made for her. will never forget it.

From where I sit the Elk is huge, but the bond between father and daughter is even bigger (not knocking the elk mind you) Great story and photos. Congrats....goodshot

Gi-normous!

Nice bull.

Very cool bool. Great story.

deerstalker;
Thanks for putting up those photos for us sir, that bull is a whopper in all respects. He's got a body much like the Manitoba subspecies castnblast posted photos of and of course a grand rack too.

If you have the opportunity to do so, please pass along congratulations to the young hunter and her father.

Not that I'm looking for secret spots, but that bull very much reminds me of a couple that came from near the Castlegar area years ago. My taxidermist buddy had to find extra large forms for them and then add plaster.

I helped him cape one and the head and neck were much, much larger than "normal" bulls and this one reminds me of that one.

Thanks again for sharing this bull with us sir, all the best to you and good luck on your remaining hunts this fall.

Wow!

Magnificent bull. Congrats to the young hunter.

What a bull! Congrats to the girl. Was this a limited quota area? A special youth hunt? Or a general tag?

Props to the state of Idaho for this! Good job dad, thats braggin' rights for the next 20 years!

In the first picture, the head of that elk looks like a fridge Hereford!!

How exciting to see success like this! Congrats to a young hunter and her packer (dad)!

AWESOME Animal, AWESOME smile !

BUMP for Travis !

deerstalker, that is one incredible story of working together.

And that bull defines massive.

thought I would mention that my wife just informed me the girl is 21 or 22 years old! I know her mother is about 4 foot nothing tall and looks like a pixy. I haven't met this girl but have worked with her dad. good people all around. I have dreams of getting a bull like that. have been dreaming of a bull like that for 50 years of hunting now. guess I better get them to guide me! lol.

Holy moses what the heck does that poor little girl have to look forward to now?

That's amazing what a great dad to bring it in & patient calm & collected young lady to nail it! Kudos all the way around!

I saw the rack in the back of their truck the afternoon she shot it...truly massive bull !

I also have had the pleasure of working with the girls dad and uncles deerstalker... Same industries, small world, paths cross The whole family is all about the hunt, be it shed antlers, elk, deer, bear.

A bull that big from 'them parts' of the state to be most general, only happen every 20 some years or so. Makes me happy to see young'ens get'n some of that glory.

Wow!!! Awesome bull.

Reno

That's what hunting is about. Sure puts a happy face on me!

Dad and daughter can both be proud for many reasons. Awesome bull but far from the most important of those reasons.

Congrats to both.
