For a bull that size 127k doesn't seem too far off the mark.

For the record, don't think that I'm someone who actually would participate in a hunt like this. I'm not, nor will I ever be in a position to take part in one. I only hunt public lands right now. But I don't begrudge this guy his right to do it.
I can honestly say that IF I ever own 'several thousand to a couple hundred thousand acres of prime elk habitat', I'd have enough money to put in numerous feed plots, but I wouldn't high fence it. Being the guy that I am, I would allow some hunting on my property, mostly by family and friends.
