WHIDBEY islands lone Bull
« on: July 31, 2014, 10:17:14 PM »
This guy roams my inlaws property on the island ... Was fortunate to have him cross the road the other morning and got this picture of him... With a little help from Instagram I made this cell phone pic look this good...  I think Olympia should have a one time raffle for a tag to get this guy..I know they wouldn't make a huge profit but he's the king of this island and he will go to waste to some cyotes sometime.... I think he would look great one someone's wall... Wish it was mine

Great picture!  I wonder if he knows when the rut is?

Awesome bull! Personally, I think this guy should be left alone. He went out of his way to find a sanctuary out there on the island, we should just let him have it. Enjoy the fact that you get to see him and enjoy him alive, because once he's dead, he's dead. There are plenty of elk elsewhere to kill.   :twocents:

Just a matter of time before he meets his fate on highway 20.   :bash:

Go to waste? If he can make it through his lifetime without being poached, killed by a car, or a predator, then good for him.

Yeah i have heard alot about this ole bull, but i have never actually seen him.  from all the pictures he is gorgeous! and on top of that... i mean if there was a tag open for it.... it would still be hell to find him and get access to land to hunt him.. and good luck takin him down with a shotgun... you look at bow mainly! b/c Rifle is illegal on the island

Obviously you have never seen the damage a 12 guage new age slug gun can do. Hunted big WI whitetails for years with slug guns as that was all we could use. Inside 100 yds it would be all good.
