Anyone with a special 550 unit bull tag?
« on: January 07, 2013, 08:38:11 AM »
I have a regular herd of elk on my property. They are here every morning until about 8:30.
One is a big spike bull with really bad hoof rot and can barely walk.
Rather than have the coyotes get him, I would like a licensed hunter to harvest him.
Please respond if you need to fill a tag and I will take you to them.
Of course it would be nice if you offer to share the meat with me.  :tup:
I am waiting on a call-back from WDFW to go over other options for this poor guy.
Thank you.

I don't think there are any bull permits right now. Even if there were, a spike wouldn't be legal. Hopefully the WDFW can send out someone to dispatch it, or allow you to do so.

Thanks bobcat, I hope WDFW can come dispatch it.
It is in a lot of pain and will die a painful death.
It only has one spike, if it sheds it I will update this thread to an antlerless tag.

Just a guess, but I think the WDFW will say something like it's best to let nature take its course.

Sad, sad.  I hope somebody can harvest this elk.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I do not have a Bull tag however, We have 4 cow tags in our party. Would you be willing to allow us to remove some cows?

scout/sniper
If the location on your profile is correct Im only about 30min from you. If WDFW says you can "harvest" it give me a shout, I would be more than willing to help dress and pack it if you wanna split some of the meat. I have my hunting licence but my bow tag is expired. non the less Im normaly a good grunt.

That is EXACTLY what WDFW told me.

thats a damn shame, its better to let an animal suffer a long cold death, thats friggin great  :bash: :bash:, i thought they had a list of master hunters for situations like this, in this day and age there is no reason for an animal to die a slow painful death...... :bash: :bash:

This was mentioned and I neither condone nor encourage but it would be a darn shame to have a stray round catch him in the ear. I hate to hear of any animal suffering. Almost not worth even have a master hunter, youth, disabled, etc. hunter take him. A mercy killing is in order. Yeah I know, let nature take its course. Easy to say when you don't have a suffering animal to see every day. Sad thing.

S/S if it falls before the 16th let me know. If me or my son has not filled our tags we will come take care of it.
