Is this your Bull? Diamond Creek ID

[Colby3]

We came across the remains of this Bull while hunting DC this year. I found about a foot of the broken arrow near the remains. I have the spot marked on my Gaia if he's yours.

Someone's bull from last year.

Colby3, I’d love to talk to you about this if you are still around. I just created an account to try and message directly but I don’t see that option

A BOAL has been found!!!! Can it be reunited with its killer?

 

[Woodrow3]

I’d love to give him some info on broadhead, arrow type and of course general location to see. Would be nice to figure out how far he went. I’ve spent days doing grids including trips this spring.

Woodrow 3, I don't think you can private message until you have a certain number of posts.

 

[Woodrow3]

Good to know. I’ve lurked in here on and off for a while, it’s just as well that I have an account.

OP was last active July 17 2022, probably doesn't check the 'slide too often.

 

[Woodrow3]

I’m hoping he’ll get an email once I am able to direct message him. It would be really nice to have some closure on it. Sucks bad to lose an animal, especially when you know it was lethal.

I bet one of the moderators would help you connect with Colby

 

[Woodrow3]

I’ve been getting emails on this thread since signing up, I’m hoping he’s getting them as well.

This thread is exciting, hopefully y'all two get together and the details match! If so please keep us updated!

Make sure a prospect gives you the distinguishing features of the arrow and general area before you send gps data out. Good on you, but people will also say “oh that’s mine send me the gps data” to either go snag the deadhead or pick up a good spot for this season.

I realize this is an older thread but I've lost a couple elk bowhunting. It sucks big time. I think this is really cool that the OP is willing to share if someone provides the details to claim. Good on ya' Colby3.

Woodrow3, sorry for such a long time getting back to you. I just saw this post today. E mail me @ [email protected] and we will find out if this is your bull.

That looks a lot like a bull I found in 2017. I'M not sure how long an elk rack could stay in good condition in a shady area

 

[Woodrow3]

Colby3 and I were able to connect. Unfortunately not the same bull. I was using a different broadhead and his picture was taken a few days before I shot.

Mad pros and respect to Colby3!!! Very cool to try and help other guys out. Unfortunately that’s become more rare I. Society these days. May the hunting gods bless him with success this year!!

Thank you all!

A BOAL has been found!!!! Can it be reunited with its killer?

Has DNA sample been secured and special IDFG “task force” been kicked off on the investigation?

 

[Colby3]

I'm guessing the bull was killed in 2020 since all we found were bones in Sept 2021

I shot at a bull in 66a in 2020 that looked like that one. My buddy and I swore I smoked him. The bull ran off and we made our way down to where he stood and we looked for an hr for my arrow and looked for another hr but could not find a drop of blood. I came back the next day and looked for blood and grid searched incase i did not getting a pass through. I never found my arrow or blood
