A 400 Bull Elk

Troy Paxton holding the mount to his great trophy 400 class elk from Utah
I just got back from an opportuntiy to see firsthand another great Utah bull elk from the 2005 season. I have been fortunate to see many of these great bulls this year as I have been travelling around and getting some great photos and heads for our upcoming King’s elk calendar. Troy bagged this very sought after bull on the late season hunt. This perfect 6×6 elk has between 12 and 14 inches of broken tines. The left G-2 browtine is broken in half and the right G-3 has a few inches broken off as well. The matching G-2 tine on the right side is 23-inches long! One of the greatest features is the incredible fourth point, especially on the left side. The left royal (G-4) is 25-inches long.
Look for Troy’s great bull in the upcoming 2007 King’s Bull Elk Calendar coming out later this year.

Maybe its just me but that does not look like a 400 class bull!!

Good Luck on that one Frankie! As for Andy, you had better look a little closer. Good thing he wasn’t relying on you to get a 400 class bull then isn’t it.

Andy,
I will have to admit, the angle of the bull that is shown above doesn’t do it justice. Because the nose is tipped up a bit, it is hard to see the length of the tines. Here is another angle that really shows what this bull is made of. Don’t think there is any question now.

I drew a permit for the Anthro, Nine mile late hunt this year. I had 14 bonus points. I hunted the full 7 days of the season, due to extremely dry and warm conditions, I only saw small bands of cows. I thought my hunting was over…until I realized I was eligible for a 30 day extension due to my diability. Wow, I have another chance now, until Dec. 16th. Thank’s Utah DWR! I keep looking at that 400 plus bull….also taken late season.
