WHIDBEY islands lone Bull

[MattySuto]

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

[Greenhorn]

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

[MattySuto]

Last year I went in the woods an sprayed elk fire all over this area and I got him all fired up.... He knows!! Got him bugling and he came in pretty hot with the cow calls I was doing.... I just out myself in a safe spot so I didn't get ran over!!

Wish Camano is. had one of those. All we got is some turkey......

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.

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

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.

It'd be really cool to find his sheds.

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

   I can't believe he has even made it this long without being sniped by a poacher

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.

   Somebody has got to have some pics of those, I agree let him be.

[irishevox]

I do agree inside 100 yards.... i guess i am partial to bows...

[quadrafire]

Be cool to find his sheds every year

[irishevox]

agreed

[MattySuto]

Maybe it was a bad choice of words on saying a waste... But you are all right he ahold be left alone but it's hard to see him sit out there and not be able to hunt him ... But I was just throwing thoughts out there on what people thought about a raffle hunt... I know exactly where this bull lives and hides and he has it made... Such a majestic animal... And yes to find his sheds would be great only problem is last year when he dropped them he crossed the road with them and came back with out em and the owners land he dropped em on are not the most pleasant people meaning they out a chain link fence up around there yard so he and other deer can't come in there yard and they posted everything else they own..... Owell can win them all...

[irishevox]

i don;t think to leave him alone if he was aavail to hunt... i mean would you just rather him die of old age and then... no one gets to enjoy the taste of a big bull... plus he is lonley

This is funny how this same bull has popped up on here for the last 2 or 3 years now  I just do not forget things like this

Probably me posting about him.. I see him all the time ths prolly the closest

[h2ofowlr]

I remember when the pictures popped up with him in La Conner a few years back.  He probably had a fun swim.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Yeah I seen one just before the Twin Bridges going toward Anacortes  I just wonder if he is the guy ...a lot of crazy things happen in these parts ..

[rosscrazyelk]

I heard the state is going to reintroduce wolves on Whidbey to take care of this growing problem. 

[hillbilli]

think there needs to be a plan in work to import a cow or two for this lonely fellow.. and we all know wolves only eat the sick and crippled right?

[jclancy]

I would like to see him where abouts on the island us he.  My family lives there and has retired retired from the navy and own an Island on the restaurant.. I believe they need to bring him a few cows as well.

This elk lives on my uncles  property, he has each set of sheds since it appeared there. Its an impressive bull, but it made that trip for some reason. I was talking with my grandpa, there used to be a heard out on whidbey in the 50's, but they got wiped out by hunters and poachers. This bull has had a couple people try to poach it, lucky for it though it usually always has eyes looking out for it.
