Ok, so I spouted off a while back and said I'd be just as happy killing a 30" buck, as I would a 380 bull. And I still stand by that. But could we at least see a few 380 bulls that I know exist on some walls? Just to clarify, yes I would be ecstatic killing a 380 bull. Heck......I'd be happy killing a 350. Wonder what the difference between a 350 and a 380 looks like? ;)

As a reference for whitetail hunters divide 380" by 2 = 190 inch whitetail. Put another way go to the airport and count the number of 7' humans you see in a day. Rare genetics for sure! C

Holy balls! Those are some bulls! Not helping my Spring fever. Yah, I kinda wondered who dressed Hunt Man too. But nice of Trophyhill to say he'd be satisfied with a 350 bull! Think I'll fix a drink.

Here’s a right at 350” bull.
A few pics of mine from ‘17 from different angles.
A broken tine really killed the score but I was plenty happy.
If you look at the length of the tine that was still there that would have matched up you can see how much that one hurt! If that one matched the other side’s length at 16”, it would have added 32” to the score and pushed it into your 380 range.
Not that 30” buck, but bet even ‘ok Trophyhill would be pretty happy;-)

Was wondering if those that posted a picture could repost and tell how many years you had been hunting elk when you harvested the bull in the picture. Thanks

Not 380 but I couldnt pass him up at 25 yards with a recurve.
I had hunted elk DIY for 38 years at that time.

Gagger bulls on this thread, the kind you might only "see" once in a lifetime on Public Land, let alone get an arrow into it!
Here's my Buddy's 350 from 2016...biggest bull either one of us had ever laid our hands on.

Congratulations on some great bulls. This is a Nevada bull from 2010. I really wanted to take this bull because of his unique color. He scored 362+ so a long ways from 380.

From the latest 2017 P&Y Record Book, there are 122 typical American elk (Rocky Mt elk) entries that score 380" net or greater of the 9,287 total entries. That is 1.3% of the typical bulls in the book. 93 non-typical elk out of the 248 entered exceed 380" net.
Dropping down, 889 bulls meet or exceed 350" typical net score (9.6% of all entries).
Only one Roosevelt elk exceeds 380" typical net out of a total of 558 entries. Zero Tule elk (WR is 320-7/8") come close.

Here's a 374" gross bull my dad shot a couple of years ago. Pretty sure he and my 16 year old son will both have bigger bulls than me by the end of this season.

When I started this thread way back when before the '19 season, and I appreciate all the pics y'all posted, I had no idea that I would have an opportunity at a bull pushing 380. My "Whale Tails" bull doesn't quite make it, but he's close at 377. What a great hunt!

My 2016 Bull Archery Bull Wyoming DIY. My biggest bull yet. My buddy rough scored it at 378 5/8 but I haven't had officially scored yet. I don't really care about the score, it was a huge Bull on public hunting DIY and I'm happy as hell with him as I am with every bull I shoot. My first bull I ever shot was split 2X2 and I was just as happy (If not more excited) with him as I am with every bull I shoot.

Pop-r... 2007 2nd rifle opening morning, I dropped my dads high school best friend off on a good saddle that elk used....and took my dad up the mountain for the morning hunt. An hour later two shots ring out from the saddle. 330” in a heavily hunted unit OTC, public land. Probably drove by a dozen camps on the way out. First bull...crazy luck
