The Moose Bull from Montana Goes Down
October 4th, 2005 David King - King's Outdoor World
Some of you are familiar with a big bull elk that has been running around Montana that carries some incredible mass and palmation on its antlers. I got a phone call today confirming that this great bull was taken by an archery hunter. The bull is a 8×7 typical with a lot of palmation around the royal points. The bull has been green scored at 420 gross and 400 net typical and could end up being one of the top typical archery bulls. Regardless of how the official score pans out, this bull is truly a great one…especially with a bow!
There is an incredible story that goes along with this bull and the persistence and luck of the hunter is amazing. More information will be coming about this spectacular bull.

David,
I’m the lucky hunter who arrowed “The Moose Bull” (Twice). I wrote a story about the hunt and the events leading up to it. I am ready to mail you my story and field photos. Please contact me by email or phone when you get back from you hunt. I hope everything went well for you.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Unfortunately, what trophy hunting does is to weaken a species. The best bulls are cut down in their prime, and their genetic material is displaced by the weaker, more infirm males that hunters leave behind , in favor of the prize bulls.
This pattern can be observed in many species, Including humans, and what our historic wars have cost our own species in genetic vitality.
