Not quite as cool as the OP's set, but this set has some big extras. Best thing is my son shot him the next year.

I first got a brief look at him in the winter, he was a long ways off but those big extras really stood out. That fall I found the antlers while archery hunting with a friend, we never saw the bull and later found out he was rutting on a large private ranch miles away.
With a few days of archery left he was back, but I elected to not go after him as my son had a rifle tag and and rifle season was just over a week away. By opening day I had him kind of figured out, but when opening day arrived we ran into a bunch of elk in the dark and they ran back into where I figured the bulls should be. For the next week or so I could not find him and then one morning I spotted him. It was late and I knew he would not go far.
The next day was a PIR day at my sons school so we had that day to hunt, but the more I thought about it I decided that we needed to go after him that evening so I called him up and told him not to ride the bus, I would pick him up at school to save the time we would need to get into the right spot.
We had just got into position and the bulls showed up, I was hoping that they would go down the bottom of the draw, but they fallowed the far ridge. It was going to be a 350 yard shot or nothing. The first shot hit him but not real good. The next two were just what you would expect for an excited 16 year old. Both missed and a good scope eye. I got him calmed down for the fourth and the bull dropped in his tracks.

I disagree. Those are the coolest elk antlers I might have ever seen! Beautiful.

Found by a friend back in Wyoming in 2001. Sold them to bass pro shops for $1200?
That's huge.

Not sheds - but I had an archery hunter kill this bull when I guided for Hunter's Rendezvous. Not the biggest, but definitely the coolest bull I've ever seen.

Was it a young bull?

Yes he was. Maybe only 4 1/2. Would have loved to see what he could have grown into, but too cool to pass up as he was.
