Any pics of the Hanford Bulls this year???

[blacktailer]

I always look forward to this time of year when pics of some real monsters surface from the Hanford area.   Anyone have anything to share???

[hunterrcc]

Yeah look at the pictures from last year where they were all shot and in the back of somebody's pickup... NOT BY LEGAL hunters.

This is what happens when big bull pictures get posted on here... Poachers yes Poachers dumb *censored* who don't have rights to shoot animals on Hanford go on there and shoot them for whatever reason maybe money or the fact that they want to rub it in others faces that they shot all the monsters out of the herd because we owe it to them.  Don't get me started or I will get kicked off here because I offend someones feelings or race! 

SO PLEASE DON'T POST PICTURES UP HERE OF THEM BECAUSE I WOULD ENJOY HAVING BIG BULLS STILL IN HANFORD THAT IS WHAT IS LEFT OF THEM!   drive out there and find them yourself if you want to see them.

   Not that I search out information on such things.  But, I'm a little surprised I didn't hear of that either.  I'd be interested in seeing the article or post if you have a link hunterrcc.

Here is one of them somebody on here posted... Don't know this guy that posted it or if the story is true but know that this bull was not on legal ground to shoot it!  I know they shot a few of the bigger ones from cell phone pictures from a few different buddies that know some of the poachers that shot them. 

Believe me or not but I do know for a fact a few of the bigger bulls were shot from Hanford.  No *censored*

Thank you for the link.  I did see that one before.  I just did not know that guy was found to be an illegal hunter.

Come on, our state worships the ground that the natives walk on! No one is going to prosect the natives for hunting on Hanford ground or for that matter people's private ground.  Look around they go on the South side of Hanford on private ground and poach all the time and what happens they get slapped on the wrist at best even if caught!  They hunt where they please and it's total *censored*. they shoot animals that we brought here like BIGHORN SHEEP why do they get to use tribal rights to hunt them?  They were transplated into this state.  Thats another subject but the elk on Hanford were not there either back in the day if I recall correctly. To hunt on Hanford was breaking national security and they don't do *censored* to them our dept says their hands are tied well untie them and do something about it or what good is our dept of wildlife for us.

All I have to say is Karma is a bitch I hope though elk were in the Nuclear area eating green glowing grass just before they killed them!!!

Well then...opinion noted.

I still like seeing the pictures.  I don't care where they are taken I just like to see pictures of big elk.

Hunterrcc is absolutely right. We had a huge discussion about this last year. It ended up getting locked..

[KopperBuck]

Ummm.. hate to break it to ya, but Hanford bulls aren't a big secret. I've known about them since I was in elementary school.

I like seeing pictures of them. Just like any other animal. Sorry you feel the way you do, but the lack of pictures isn't going to decrease bad behavior in this instance, by any party, race, individual, what have you.

They're all hiding right now.  Spent a good bit of time driving last week.  Saw some, but not like last year.

Kopper, the idea is guys might have been seeing the pics of the big hanford bulls on here and then going out to poach them. You're right they aren't a secret. But it was a little weird seeing the pics last year and not long after seeing a native guy holding the horns of a 400 class bull cut at the skull plate. someone had pics of that bull alive on here. So it kind of makes you wonder. Kopper if you think different then feel free to go take pictures and and post them.

I agree with hunterrcc on this one though. Yes they're awesome to see but posting pics of them might just make them a Target for someone.

[KopperBuck]

I suppose, but talking about it ain't much better. I guess I'm of the opinion that I can't hunt them, they were reintroduced, and they cause damage. If someone needs to swell their pecker by shooting one of these "farm" raised bulls, that's your issue and I feel sorry for ya. I'd probably feel different about it if it was in my wilderness spot.

I won't post any masher bull pics - so here's a link of pics from this weekend that oughta make everyone a little warm and fuzzy. At least until they get a couple years under them.

Those are cool pics kopper, the hanford elk are illegal to hunt. Unless on one of the farms. So what it comes down to is they're on refuge. If we can't hunt them then why should anyone else be able to. If caught there should be serious consequences for ANYONE. people enjoy going out and looking at them. And since we enjoy seeing them wed  hate to see more pics of bulls being poached out there.. better safe than sorry. And you're absolutely right. Talking doesn't help.
