Skagit County Nooksack bulls

[Wea300mag]

I was surprised by the number of permits (especially to the indians) given out. Given that these animals are almost pets, the herd bulls are going to be decimated.

Hey Bearhunter, I would love to see a picture of that 8x9.

I can see why the gal moved so fast.

all of the good bulls will be gone after this year and back to rag bull land.............

how do you know that mr. sux........ have you been up there before? give us more details, you have some data to back that up..

[Bearhunter]

I went out twice this weekend with Eldon, the last guy left with an archery tag in his pocket.  Saturday we called a 7x6 in to 40 yards, and watched him tear up alders for about 10minutes, ripping bugles the whole time, got it all on video, we were there at 40 yards for so long that he finally winded us and came closer but was to thick thin turned around and walked up into the meadow we went up after him got to 80 yards broadside and just stood there looking at us.  Got some great footage of him, just couldnt close the deal.  Sunday morning we chased a bull all over, he was screaming the whole time we were cow calling, but he just keep moving away I believe he had cows and didnt want us to take them from him.  Some day I will load some clips up on here, it will be after elk season closes though.  I got pictures of the 8x9 I will post today though.  Boy was it ever fun up there I would give anything to have that tag in my pocket.  We shot 4 grouse Sunday up there and seen a bunch of deer.

Sounds  like a great time Bearhunter

I agree...so jealous right now.

Oh man, I heard the lady hit it in the neck and itdidn't kill it. Kept getting up flinging blood and falling down for 40 minutes. Apparently she went back to the house to wait for it to die. Game Warden was finnally forced to pop it with his service piece.   I heard this second hand i hope it wasn't as bad as it sounds but there were people there 'looking' at the elk when she shot him.  If the part about them going back to the house is true (and I find that really hard to believe) she deserves a big fat fine. And even if they stayed she should go through the hunter ed course again.  Actually, she doesn't need to be out there in the first place. AAArrrrrrggggghhhhh

Tell me it ain't so............

[jackelope]

oh jeez...here we go...did she have a guide wearing a baby blue t-shirt?
 

[Ray]

Hey, what's the baby blue t-shirt deal about? Seriously 

I don't know anything about the matter so you can keep me out of that for now

i guess you had to be there at the time...but there was major drama on MM over the utah and nevada auction tag holders from last year and the big $$$ and the early season and the location the bull was killed and the dadadadadadada....it was a mess. but the pic of the 2 guides wearing the baby blue t-shirts was a big hit....

[Ray]

Lots of drama for sure. Even claims of ownership on the bull. The blue t-shirts are kind of funny looking. 

[Bearhunter]

Ya, I heard the same thing, the elk was running around wounded squirting blood all over the place.  Also she had the state raffle tag not the governors tag.  I sure would not have killed one out of that field if I had the tag, what a blast that would be to be able to hunt with a rifle right now, she missed out totally, the expereince is worth more than the kill,  I was hunting with a tag holder and am so still extremely jealous, those guys are sure some lucky hunters thats for sure.  Monster bulls everywhere.

[jackelope]

did she shoot it with a bow?

[Bearhunter]

No it was with her rifle.  It kinda leaves a bad picture to non hunters about us hunters when someone shots a bull out of a field right off the highway and it runs around wounded, crap happens but its just more fuel on the fire for the antis.
