Elk palmation racks, lets see them!

Recommended Posts

This is a category that I'd like to see tacked, elk taken that have any palmation!

 

I've seen only one in person (alive) in 35 years of hunting!

This should be a cool thread. We saw a awesome bull in unit one last year that had a palmated right main beam. Looked like a moose hybrid! By the time I dug out the camera he was gone.

This one wasn't taken that I know of but it qualifies I think.

is this the kind of palmation you're looking for? One of my good friend has this set and 2 or 3 other sets with some similar palmation to them. Palmation is like anything else non typical. You don't see it to often but they are out there.

Those sheds look very much like a bull we saw a few times we called "Webhead" about 15 years ago that a lot of locals knew. Then saw another bull about 5 years ago in the same area that was similar. Father son or gramps son is what we were thinking.

 

And the hill in the background looks very much like where we saw them both near.

This one, Named flat horn, hung out around Alpine before the fire. Some of his sheds are displayed at the Bear wallow café in Alpine. I haven't see him lately.
