Thanks for a bit of history. That was in the day when 7X & 8X bulls were actually there to find. Nowadays with the hunting pressure, if you can find one, it'll probably be on a big private ranch where the hunt alone would cost 20K. The rest of us would probably have to be satisfied with a 5X or a 6X bull and be happy with it.

wow.... those are some BIG elk... I suspect that in some of the more remote parts of canada you could shoot a 7x7 or the rare 8x8.... but again, you're talking about a $12,000+ hunt...
thats a LOT of african trophies!!!

IronBuck,
Great post...................great to dream about. Hope your off-season has gone by quickly. I've been stuck on the East coast for a while and only recently have had the opportunity to get online(still stuck on the EC). Enjoyed the post.

Ovis,
Good to see you are still around! What keeps you out East? Did you get to go to the Brooks range this past year? I am still dreaming about it
