cjw2222 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 So ive got it in emails and now reading about it on different forums. My question is does anyone have any more info on this 540" palmated monster? I have heard it was taken on a high fenced ranch in CO and he paid 127,000 to hunt the bull. if anybody has yet to see it and wants to i have 3 pictures i could potentially email you if you PM me... In no way am i trying to start an argument on the ethics of high fenced hunting mainly because i feel its ridiculous. but that does not negate that fact that this bull has me very interested.

High Fenced means not Fair Chase...... therefore Not a World Record and should not be refered ot as a World Record! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjw2222 Report post Posted January 30, 2008 Sent out all the emails And i ran a diagnostic check on the pics and turns out they were taken, from my figuring, on August 23 of 2006 so they probably are. guess im just a little slow... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah i saw those pics a while back. I never did hear a score, although i was told Colorado as well. Definitely a ranch/high fence bull - for whatever reason they always seem to have pale antlers and rarely rub all their velvet off. Thanks for the pics though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the pics though Ya i remember hearing it has something to do with the hormones or steroids they are fed. the outer portions of the antlers turn almost a chalk white and pretty much die early and the inner portions never full rub off the velvet. pretty disgusting how much they can alter the genetics of these animals.

.270 Report post Posted January 30, 2008 doesn't sci recognize high fence stuff? on another note, did anyone see the elk auction on the RFD channel this weekend. that was fun to watch. a lot of 400+ bulls went for 5-7k. one 470+ typical 8x10 went for 22k. some nice roosevelts went for $600. it was funny to hear the auctioneers talk about how you could wait till next year to shoot one and they'd really be big.

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted January 30, 2008 If those photos are the ones I think they are, it's probably the bull that was eventually traced to a game farm in Alberta. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRONG Report post Posted February 5, 2008 I've seen the pictures many times and if that thing goes anywhere near 500" I'll give you a pile of antlers. Tony, it's not the one from Canada, it's from CO. Two different bulls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOFX Report post Posted February 6, 2008 Regardless of how it was harvested, ethical/unethical, fenced in/tied to a tree, that is truly an amazing bull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
