General TAG 8x8
« on: October 27, 2013, 01:26:08 PM »
My buddy's first Wa elk. East side general unit. I told him that he is ruined and he wont beat it without a draw. He told me that he's hooked and he can still try.

Was that a special tag?  I thought E. Wa was spike only.

Awesome bull - but hope he doesnt end up regretting that decision.  At least it has nice dark antlers, so a euro will look really good on that one.

If he wants a cape let me know I have mine still in the freezer from last years Idaho bull. Was a 305" bull in his prime with a great cape killed at the end of September.

One question: Why did he ruin the cape? I'd definitely get that bull mounted and I'd want it to wear it's own skin.
