I know you're right but if you go by wdfw pamphlet that looks to be legal by definition.  Less than 4 inches from the skull.  Your pic is of a spike with eye guards for sure.

I believe that bull is a legal bull per the spike regs.  I also believe that the guys at WDFW that were asked believe it fits the rules, but they may have some doubt since the only way to be 100% sure is to kill the bull and put a tape to it. 

Just think of it from WDFW's perspective.  They have a trailcam pic and a question to them about the legality.  If they say yes, go shoot it, and then the shooting gets a ticket for an illegal bull..........the crap will hit the fan.  There is just no good reason for them to give the ok that the bull is legal..........it's much safer for them to say it is not a legal bull. :twocents:

p.s. - I would not shoot that bull either, even though I am 99% sure it is legally classified as a spike.  That little bit of doubt can get a guy in a lot of trouble. 

Cool thread. 8)  :tup:
