spike bull restrictions?

[Skillet]

I'd kill it because it's legal.  Especially if you have decent pics of it on a game cam and can check it out ahead of time.  Hell, if you have a good one after he hardens off, maybe print it and take it to a gamie and ask him?

Such a unique rack, it would be a shame not to harvest it if you had the opportunity just because of some indefinite legal mumbo-jumbo.

Don't make it too hard.  This is what you need to know: 

"Spike Bull Restrictions: Elk taken in these units must have at least one antler with no branches originating more than four inches above where the antler attaches to the skull."

pg 45 of game regs

After that they give two examples (1 legal and 1 illegal) but those aren't the only examples they could have used.  They could have said 1x6 vs 6x6.  My assumption is that they don't want to promote shooting 1x6 nor is it something that happens often and thus they used a much more common example of a 1x2.

The picture that is posted is a legal spike bull and I would shoot it with no problem.  My daughter shot a elk somewhat like that and the game warden took a picture of it to show his fellow wardens and told me that it was certainly a legal spike.

The picture posted was just an example i found on the net.  When i get the picture of the card and on the computer ill let you guys decide.  I should print the picture take it to the wdfw office in mill creek and see what they say.

legal. One side is a spike then you are good to go.

[KopperBuck]

Shoot. I don't understand the interpretation unless you're having a hard time judging 4" (that's what she said). Kill it. Legal. End of story.

[D-Rock425]

Im going to ask a game warden what it is.  But in all reality I'll probably never see him again.

I watched a similar bull last year all the way up to the night before the opener.  I had pics and a friend had sheds off him.  Took the pics to a warden and he said absolutely legal.  Hopefully he survived last year, but have yet to get any pics of him so far.

Shoot away!!!

The bull pictured is totally legal in a spike area.... I shot one like that a couple of years back, with no reservations, and the warden had no problem with it.

Soooo...D-rock are you still going to share a pic of the bull in question?  Would like to at least    over him?

[D-Rock425]

Yeah i keep forgetting to bring the camera home from work.

[h20hunter]

Not our fault. We've been waiting patiently.

   Sounds like Dan-o's been rubbing off on you with losing or misplacing your camera.

[D-Rock425]
