This is my 2012 Etolin Island Rosevelt Elk. This was a special drawing permit to hunt a remote island in SE Alaska. I boated 40 miles south of a small town and spent a week in the mountains hunting and packing.

Here is mine and my first mature bull to boot. It was an awesome hunt and a near vertical pack out in some places but you could not slap the grin off my face...

Wyoming general season. Rain, snow, hail, 50mph wind, fun times! The first pic is actually fog you can see in it! We were still hunting timber, the fog would roll in and you'd have to stop for 5-10 minutes and let it clear up, then get another 5-10 minutes without fog. Ended up still hunting within 12 yards of this bull. Tough, slick pack out, but packing elk on your back is a labor of love!

OK, Here's a mine entry. This is a picture of my 2012 CA Tule Elk. They are a smaller version of the Rockie or Roosie. I'm just happy that I actually drew the tag to get the chance to hunt them.

Very happy to be a part of this hunt. My dads 2nd season Rifle Bull tag, Colorado.

The added bonus of being able to sit right next to my dad as he pulled the trigger on the fine young bull it that there will be plenty of elk steak in the freezer this winter.

Nice bull.... BUT
I think you're way over 210" - Or you need a new taxidermist
