At 410 it wouldn't be a Tule or Roosevelt, gotta be a Rocky. Here's a Tule I took with a muzzleloader in 2006

It could be a roosevelt! The hunter who killed the world record archery roosie couple yeats ago (nor cal) was 400-410" if i remember right and he told me personally he saw one even bigger. Cali has some monster roosies and rockeys due to few tags, which results in old old bulls

This was a bull that was hanging out at my Dad's farm where I grew up in N CA near the OR border, Mt Shasta area. A rocky I believe? There were no elk in the area when I lived there back in the 70's. My understanding is they released a some rockys in the late 70s early 80s and they have done well.
This pic was taken nearly two years ago I think? Had 6 or 7 cows with him. He'd be a dandy now I'd bet, I'll have to ask my Dad if anybody has seen him lately.
We've killed deer and black bear off the farm, never ever thought elk might be in the picture someday. Pretty cool.

Del Norte has some huge roosys as do many of the zones up there. I spent some time looking around on my way back from OR 2 years ago. Saw a 320 inch bull right out in the open in Big Lagoon visable from the 101.
Only problem is, you could put in for Del Norte with max points for the rest of your life and not draw it...
