Guest bullseye78 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hy guys just wanted to let everyone know that one of my friends was elk hunting in Colorado yesterday. He was riding his horse back to base camp when an 8x8 elk walked in front of him at about 35 yards. He took out his .30-30 and shot it right in the neck. The elk is most likely going to be a world record. It is a complete 8x8 elk. I will try to get pictures to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadHuntinPastor Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Re: 8x8 elk If it is a world record...I don't recommend posting pictures on the internet. Make sure your buddy handles his trophy and all pics carefully. It could make him a good chunk of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Re: 8x8 elk So...where are the pics? I guess with at least 6" tines, the main beam must be as big around as a coffee can and scratch his tail when he lifts his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullfan Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Re: 8x8 elk Okay I would like to see it. My 7X7 had 56" main beams and all of its points are over 18" long, with 4 of them over 23" And it is no way near a new record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texastrophies Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: 8x8 elk If it is indeed world record class, I can understand the reluctance to post pictures. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Herd_Bull Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Re: 8x8 elk thats the one mistake i notice alot of people make, when they see a huge bull they add points(ex. this thing is huge, it had to be at least 7 or 8 on a side), when really its not it, u can get a HUGE 6x6 or a small 7x7 or a really reall big 5x5,...im not sayin that this is what you are doing here, im just saying this is what i notice with alot of situations around here...
