Giant Saskatchewan bull elk!

Big Buck Magazine Owner/Editor Rob Manley and his son Jay encountered this king bull elk in September of 2019. Jay had already taken a very nice but smaller bull 10 minutes before this brute showed up. With Jay's tag already filled, all they could do was watch in amazement taking in beauty of this animal.

They look so majestic with those huge racks.
I love the call they make. And the thrill of being that close to such a beautiful, beautiful animal!

14 point bull ELK - in the wild. Magnificent! I hope it gets to live and sire many more ELK generations to come.

Dude rolled in with No worries and no cover. As if he damn well knew your filled tag granted him sovereignty . Great share and experience for father and son!!!

We got lots of elk like this in Saskatchewan where I’m from (southeast corner). I was a guide for nearly twenty years. When my daughter was born in 2002 I switched careers transitioning from working on drilling rigs into the life of a big game guide because I was a stay at home dad. Sometime in 2020, I came across this video. I was amazed and wishing that one day I could finally get my chance at a once in a lifetime animal. On September I got my 8x7 bull elk, and I couldn’t think of a better way to end my guide life. I’d love to spend the rest of my life being near them, observing, and photographing because I simply love elk. I started hunting these magnificent animals in 1987 at age 15. My uncles showed me the way. I lost my dad young - we both attended the Indian Residential Schools in our area. I’m thankful for having kept the families way of life alive after losing everyone to alcohol and suicide. The 1960’s were a tough time to be alive for Indian children across Canada.

Absolutely stunning!!
Even the way the light highlighted his burnished antlers was beauty in the best way!!
I hope you and your companion remember that for many years!
Thanks for sharing it with us!
A symphony of nature!

Long let him live.

I lived in Belgrade Montana, next door to Bozeman.
In Big Sky down Jackrabbit lane I saw a big young bull moose with a nice beard and decent rack. THAT, for me, was the MOST Majestic creature I have ever seen up close in the wilderness.
I saw herds of Elk, and came as close as 30 feet away. The bull in this video is the BIGGEST Elk that I've ever seen. Beautiful.

[luciledevries]

Magnificent beautiful Elk Let him roam for as long as he lives.Hope no one hurts him .

[gailhowes]

Thank you so much for shooting this amazing animal with a video camera instead of a gun, I believe hunting should only be if you need the meat to feed you family.

[donaldking]

Just to see that bull is amazing, he needs to carry on those genes !!

[irishslave]

[maranathashalom]
