In a spike only Unit it for sure is Legal, the true spike is where it gets more tricky.

I would consider myself a chicken in stretching rules.  I always stay well in the lines of life and have been fortunate to stay out of trouble .  You can only stretch so many rules in life till one snaps.

I think you are right that it is a legal bull in a spike unit given the definition but if it was me, I would have a tough time flinging an arrow just because of the chance that I could somehow get in trouble. I always just error on the side of caution but that is just me.

I would assume that to be a spike as well as a true spike. If they don't count to make it a spike why would they count if it was a true spike area. Less then four...don't count as a point.

I wouldn't shoot in a true spike unit. What are you estimating on how long the points are. I wouldn't be confident in a spike only unit..

If that thing is legal in a spike unit it would have to be legal in a true spike unit by definition in hunting regs.  I really don't know if you can go off what the regs say anymore.  We had a picture of an elk that would fit the description of a legal spike and wdfw told us no do to the fact that its an antler deformity.

 :yeah:   I would shoot him in a spike or true spike unit.  He defiantly does not have any point's above the four inch rule.  If your not sure let him pass so someone else can tag him and take him home.  :chuckle:
