What a cool bull! That's a shooter in a spike only unit, and a dream come true at that

As long as that eye guard branches off below his ear it's good to go. WDFW  makes us shoot "needle in a haystack" spikes so that thing is down if I'm looking at it.

If you hunted spikes in the early to mid 90's branching below the ears was the old spike rule. So yes that used to be the case until the 4 inch rule came into place.

It's a legal bull since I shot it in New Mexico in 2013 on a any elk tag.

Here, I took some of the steepness out of that hill you were climbing.   :chuckle:

Nice bull!!

Wow, it looks bigger on your back! Awesome bull!

Now that I see that 3rd point, maybe he would not be legal in a WA spike only unit.

Here's another pic that will show the distance from the base.  Although he did not have a burr at the bottom of his horn.  Thanks for correcting previous pic.

I skull capped him and brought him out of the wilderness.  Probably just horn mount him.  His G1 is 24".  If he would have matched up on both sides, given  a 40" spread he would have just missed 370".  Cool bull bull to look at though.

Here's a pic of the distance from the hair line to the tine.  You guys can decide if it would be legal to shoot if it were a WA bull in a spike area.  Just to make sure...this bull was taken in NM.

  :yeah:

Seeing that little point towards the top end, compared to the bow limb next to it, would disqualify him I believe in Washington as a legal spike I'd say.

Would be darn hard to see that one at any distance in a hunting situation...
