Largest Arizoa Elk in 2021

400+ Inch Arizona Elk

Largest Arizona Bull taken in 2021

Everyone dreams of getting to hunt a 400 inch bull elk but only a few hunters actually get the opportunity.  2021 was a challenging season for everyone with an Arizona elk tag because of the winter/spring drought.  The dry spell made it extra hard to find 370+ bulls, let alone 400 inch bull.  So, as Jamey Finstad walked up to his monster archery elk he was in awe of the moment.

We called this bull Big B because he had a great back end, which was rare for the 2021 elk season.

 

Here is some video footage captured before the hunt of "Big B":

Giant 6×6 Bull Elk

When you think of elk hunting, one immediatly dreams of a giant 6×6 bull elk.  Big 6 point bull elk are the icon of the species & everyone in the elk hunting world puts them on a pedestal. When Jennifer Jones finally drew her early rifle bull elk tag, her & her husband (David) put in a ton of work with her .28 Nosler, in anticipation of settling the crosshairs on a giant bull.

After several days of elk hunting during a slow rut, we finally found the icon of elk. As light was fading we were able to close the distance & Jennifer put two great shots into the giant elk. It was an unreal moment for everyone to walk up to a truey rare 400″ 6×6 bull elk.

 

As mentioned above, Jennifer put many rounds thru her .28 Nosler prior to her hunt, she was prepared & ready to make long range elk hunting shots if needed.  The hunting & shooting prepartion paid off as she was unbelievable under pressure.  Jen was also using a prototype hunting bipod by Rok-Stedi Hunting Gear which allowed her to shoot this rutting giant elk from a seated position.
