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. Having the ability to hand pick our bulls out of a combined herds of over 2000 animals, we can find that "Dream" bull you have always been hunting for. All the bulls regardless of size are turned out onto the preserve in June or July, and only mature 8+ year old bulls 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. |

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

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.
