I was browsing for a 4Runner ... saw this one in Denver's craigslist ...
nice bull !
Maybe 300? but not much bigger...
Looks like the right size to me!
Don't have the pic handy, but I put my buddies bull in my Hilux which is a right-hand drive 4-Runner and it didn't even close to fit inside that window. We had to have the last couple feet outside the window on the way home. It wasn't exceptionally wide and scored 300". I do have a pic of the rack sticking out the back on a different computer...
Big enough. One day, I hope to drive all the way home to Michigan like that.
Kind of like this in a full sized truck...
Cheese, now THAT is an elk! Pushing 350?
gawd ..... please someone post a pic of an elk on top a pinto or something
that is just sick - antlers so big they barely fit
Not that big and a good example of why you don't judge critters from behind.
Numba one 305ish
cheesey 340ish
No good at judging size but theres some love for Oregon
Jeez, Cheesehead, You should have caped that bull out and strapped it to the grill guard ;-) Although it might have caused some accidents on the way home! That is a great bull.
Thanks guys!
When I shot this bull my buddy Les was standing right behind me but his view of the approaching bull was blocked by a spruce tree that was right next to us. Les watched me freeze, draw my bow and shoot and even though he was only about 2 feet behind me he couldn’t see the bull. After the shot he jumped out from behind me to get a look at the bull as it was running away and he said “holy $hit that’s a 400 inch bull!” So LKH is right, we shouldn’t score bulls from behind ;^)
24 hours later Les killed a 270 class bull and packing both racks, and a 150 qt. cooler and three 125 qt. coolers full of meat and capes into the back of the truck was a challenge to say the least.
My taxidermist used the biggest form available and he said that the form could have actually been a little bigger. He has mounted quite a few big elk and he said this elk has the largest cape he has ever seen.
Tavis, maybe we should have mounted the caped out head to the grill because apparently the load in the truck box was too much and we had a blow out on the way home!
As mentioned before this was in a Hilux Surf which is same body as a 4Runner. Bull netted 302
if that is the same size vehcile as a 4 runner you are either 8'2" or there are no tire on the vehicle.
My Dad shot a small bull one year and the tree it was laying next to had "Elk 1955" carved into it.
How about these two? Are they Large enough. They are on the Hanford nuclear power plant property. Right one or left one?
Right one or left one??? YES PLEASE!!!!!
Heck of a bull Mike!!!!!!!!!!
