I saw that handlebars was taken in PA.... Anybody have any idea what he scored? He was certainly a unique bull.

..he won't score very high, nice fronts and great width but that's all...he surely loved to be photographed and his demise caused a little squabble for a week, things have calmed down..

I realize he won't score well I was just wondering if anyone had heard what he actually did score.
I'm sure some folks were upset but that's their problem....

Looks like they have access to some high quality food.
To say the least.

I don't know. But, no coyotes? No Black bears?

Wow. It seems to me that the laws are going to need to be revisited. That is just not right.

Agreed, we are trying to grow an elk herd in pa and we still allow farmers to shoot them. I understand elk to a lot more crop damage than whitetails but why can't the game commission pay the farmers off? It would be great if we would spend money for this instead of songbird and pine martin studies...
