Wow! Nice Bull Steve. Give us some details of the hunt. How does the SCI scoring work? That ranks right up there with one of the best ever for that state. Do you know how it would have scored B & C?

Looks like I am going to miss this years deer hunting opener and this will be the 1st time in many years. Seems I am going to be in Vegas having a good time. Now start telling us about your hunt!

SCI....B & C

**SS427** · #4 09-13-2007, 06:47 PM

Sierra Club and Boone and Crockett. I cannot speak for SCI but B&C is an organization that among other things scores animals based on a set of guidelines and for rifle hunting versus the Pope and Young for bow hunters.

lol...it's actually "Safari" Club. "Sierra" Club would take issue with hunting of any kind for any reason.

Careful about painting conservation groups with a broad brush stroke, Steve. That's just not true

http://www.sierraclub.org/sierrasportsmen/

20% of their members identify themselves as hunters and anglers. As stated in their policies:

"Sport Hunting and Fishing -- Within both modified and natural ecosystems, the Sierra Club believes that acceptable management approaches include regulated periodic hunting and fishing when based on sufficient scientifically valid biological information and when consistent with all other management purposes and when necessary total protection of particular species or populations. Because national parks are set aside for the preservation of natural landscapes and wildlife, the Sierra Club is opposed to sport hunting in national parks and national monuments."

And yes, that is a beautiful rack.

conservation and habitat are one of my causes too. too bad all the conservation groups and efforts can't work together instead of fight each other for the last word

"lol...it's actually "Safari" Club. "Sierra" Club would take issue with hunting of any kind for any reason." Duh! Whoops, you are sooooo right. Sorry bout that.

In comparison, the World Record Elk taken in Upper Arrow Lake, BC scored 465 2/8 for a non-typical Elk so Steves is not too far off though I believe SCI scores higher than a comparable B&C. Bottom line for any Elk hunter.............nice fricken Elk!

As an example, the Sierra Club would scream at this while the Safari Club would score you.

Oh yea, the one with the horn that plays Dixie.

Bet it's a job to field dress one of those big fellows. Do you qtr it out to haul out on horses/mules? Any trouble with bears when they smell the kill? Where'd all those Elk steaks go?
