Larry Knowlton and his 419 Gross New Mexico bull elk

Just thought you would like to see a few pictures of a huge bull elk shot in New Mexico on January 30. Larry Knowlton, finally shot the bull of a lifetime after months of agonizing defeat. Larry acquired one of the New Mexico enhancement tags for elk, and on September 1st began a five month ordeal to shoot a 400″ plus bull. He finally got his bull with only one day to spare. He spent 52 days since early September trying to find “the one”.

“I can\’t tell you how many ghost stories, false leads and over-exaggerated elk we chased for the past 5 months, but in the end I think it was all worth it! [The Outfitter] had originally located this bull in early November, and spent weeks of their time trying to get this bull for Larry. At 3:30pm on Saturday, after a 4.5 hr climb to get to this bull that lived in the worst place I have ever seen in my entire life.”
