And The Winner Is?
October 10th, 2006 David King - King's Outdoor World
In my post about “The Biggest Elk - 575 Archery Bull” I asked our fellow blog readers to help me out on tracking down more information to this bull. Since I am still getting emails about this bull, even from people who are on the Blog, it is clear not everyone is reading the whole post. I guess many readers are not making it all the way to the bottom and reading my conclusion. For those of you who didn’t, yes the bull is from a high fenced game ranch in Quebec and not from Idaho or Montana.
However, back to my point. Due to your help we were able to track down what we needed to about this email fiasco. The first person who sent me pertinent information about this elk would get a nice ShadowCamo fleece jacket and hat. I received a lot of great emails, faxes, phone calls and leads. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I can’t give jackets to the thousands who flocked to the blog post, but I will give out the prize to the person who first gave me the crucial lead I needed.
Shaun and “Desert Sheep” actually emailed me the velvet pics and skull pics at the same time verifying it was indeed a high fence bull. I am going to send both a hat. However, Desert Sheep actually followed it up with a link to the actual ranch in Quebec that gave me the lead I needed to make contact with them and get the information I needed. It took me a while to do this, and in the meantime received a lot of information from other blog readers. However, the initial lead that Desert Sheep sent me turned out good. Therefore, Desert Sheep will also get the nice ShadowCamo fleece jacket to go with his hat and will let him decide on what pattern he would like - Desert Shadow, Mountain Shadow, or Snow Shadow.
Thanks everyone.

[…] Yes, you heard right. The first person to email me correct information about this bull or a lead that will help me track down the correct information I will give them a free ShadowCamo fleece jacket and hat. Hey, that is about a $100 value! Not bad for a Tuesday. Good luck. NOTE: This is now over…the prizes have been given out and I no longer need you to email me stuff about this bull. We have it covered now. Thanks…Read on. […]

What a bunch of bull! The info you received is so off base, it is ridiculous. The person who shot (rifle) this elk is my employer, Louis McMurray of Madera, California. It was not shot in Montana, or in a fenced area. It was shot in Southern Canada. If you wish to confirm, call me at (916) 563-0157 Monday thru Friday from 8 to noon or 1 to 5:00 pacific time. You guys have fallen for a phony story. I have other pictures of this elk if you are interested.
You should print a correction at the very least. Lou deserves the credit for the kill, not someone else.
