500 CLUB Bull Elk

Silvertine's 500 CLUB

Back in 2005 we started the "400 Club", and the club grew to amazing porportions. Our Genetics have improved so much that Silvertine got to a point in 2014 that the average Bull Elk was over 400", and in 2015 our average was 436", so we needed to change things, as our genetics were changing rapidly.

The "500 Club" was started by Silvertine to honor not only the hunters that shoot these massive 500" plus bulls, but to also honor the bulls that grew their tremendous set of antlers. Being one of Canadas longest running Hunt Ranches we know every breeder in the contry, so we can find that "Dream" bull you have always been hunting for. All the bulls regardless of size are mature bulls, and are chosen based on antler spread, classic tine length and shape, and all bulls have dark capes, long beards and mature features. Our preserves are 100% forested; and thus the many wallows and dense conifer timber give our bulls the distinction of having the darkest antler color available anywhere, a rich chocolate brown, with highly polished tips, or “Silver-tines” as my grandfather use to call them. The benefit is your lifelong enjoyment of the most spectacular elk mount in your trophy room you will ever see. Enjoy the Photos of some of Silvertines "BIGGEST" Bull Elk.

Lynn Returns for 2 MONSTER Bulls in 2018

Late August seen Mr. Lynn Stinson return for his 3rd trip at Silvertine, this time he set his sites on harvesting a 500" Manitoban and a 500" Roosevelt. We he gotit done, and it was one of the longest 24hr days we ever had. The Mantioban was shot at daybreak, right out of the gate first day, and as majority of retrievals go very easy, just hard heavy work as the Manitobans are very large bodied. the Roosevelt on the other hand was right at dark, and too boot, like 1300lb Coastal Roosevelt, in a swampy area that took majority of the night to retrieve it. All in all it was a very long day, thanks Jason and Corey for your back-breaking hard work! The Manitoban scored out at 537" and the Roosevelt atv 543". Congrats Lynn and see ya in November for that big whitetail!

Mr. Jarrett's Amazing 515" Roosevelt Bull Elk

2018 Guest Mr. Jerrett and his 17yr old son Gavyn were hunting for a specific 440" Rocky Mtn Elk on his gold package for 3 days here on the expansive Silvertine Ranch. On the first day Mr. Jerrett passed up a good shot opportunity on the big Rocky Mtn. the first evening, as his son had just killed his bull, and this decision in most cases can bite you in the butt, but in his situation it proved to be a good one for him. The last evening of the last day things were not looking good for Mr. Jerrett and him going home with that 440 Rocky Mtn. Elk he wanted as they never had another sighting of the bull. But, as things happen here on this ranch, about an hour before dark, at the edge of the lake a 60" wide massive Roosevelt Elk Bull stepped out of the thick spruce forest. A quick discussion with his guide Jason Shaw about upgrading, and the bull was shot at 140 yards and rolled down the hill from one clean killing shot. The bull scored 515" and has an amazing 60" outside spread! Congrats Mr. Jerrett.

Mr. Rays second Roosevelt at 544"

Well, you have seen this man before. My good friend Mr. Ray Mohr. This year he returned for his second Roosevelt Elk, a monster at 544". Congratulations my friend. Check out Rays other trophies he shot with me in 2017, a 23" Woods Bison and a Markhor.

585" Manitoban X Rocky Mtn. Elk

Oivind Tidemandsen from Norway shot this beast of a elk! It scored 585" and had a 86" wide spread, that's over 7 feet folks! This bull is one of the largest we have ever shot and I hope to have the video footage soon on my website for you to see! Congratulations Oivind!

526" Manitoban Elk

Mr. Ray Moher shot a Monster of a Manitoban Elk with us in 2016. His second 500" plus bull with us, and this one scored 526". had he not had the kickers this bull would have almost been a 500" Typical!!

535" Roosevelt Elk

Lou Saide from Arizona wanted a non-typical Roosevelt Elk, so off the same breeder I got Rays 555" in 2015 i got Lou a bull of a lifetime, a massive 535" bull with a drop tine, palmation and stickers. He got the whole package than then some.....

555" Roosevelt Elk

2015 presented Alberta Hunter Ray Moher with a early Christmas gift. I bought this bull off of a breeder in Alberta that was using him as his Roosevelt breeder bull for many years. We chose not to score him prior to bringing him to the ranch, as he had a large kicker that came off his right antler,and though that we would run the risk of him breaking it off in the handling facility if we tried to score him, so we guessed. The bull was bought and delivered to Silvertine in July. Ray showed up in late August to hunt and harvest his bull. First day we found his bull around the south slews and he finished him off with one shot after a short stalk. Ray returned home to Alberta and had the Bull scored by a SCI Master Measurer at 555", easily breaking the existing SCI World Record Estate Roosevelt Elk. Congratulations Ray, where do we go from here?

597" Roosevelt Hybrid

I Just wanted to share the GREAT news with you all on the Largest Bull Elk we have ever harvested, a WHOPPING 597 4/8"! The Hunter was Brad Goodwin, congratulations Brad. His trusty sidekick "Simba" the Beagle did a great job of tracking the bull after the shot, of course under close supervision by Yogi . . .

Hi Steve;

How are you. I did find a master measure in ladner .He is a lifetime member of SCI with lots of hunting experience in B.C. and Africa, and abroad. His name is Dr. Ron (Sekuru) Pitars’. He was only too happy to score the Roosevelt form your place when he saw it come through the Door. It took about 3 hrs and he came up with a score 597 ½ pts. He wants to check it once more on the smaller points to see if they qualify.He said it will definitely be the Number 1 Estate Roosevelt elk ever measured.The current estate record is 449 pts. At 597 ½ It may blow the current Estate record away by 148 more pts. He wants to get this right because people will be interested where it came from and the registration will have you as the guide and Silvertine. Gina ,Simba and I had a great time at your place and you hunted me a world record Roosevelt estate animal that will be hard for me to ever forget. Thanks again Steve for everything.

Thanks Brad, Gina and Samba

The Bull weighed 1480lbs, the antlers must have weighed 70-80lbs alone!

Right antler had 16 points and palmation!

This Bull had 12.5" bases and carried the weight right through the entire antler!

This Bull was so non-typical he had the look of a New Zealand Red stag!

Left antler had 14 points and palmation!

The Bull had a 60" Outside spread!

Back in December of 2005, Raymond Olrich Killed this 508" Muzzle-loader world record, it was the largest Elk ever killed on an Estate. At the time we were all amazed at the gigantic proportions of this beast. As the years followed, genetics continued to get better and bulls continued to get bigger.
