Ambers First Branch Bull!!

[BABackcountryBwhntr]

I hate to be that guy, but I'm pretty certain that you shooting the animal with the intention of her tagging it falls under "party hunting" which is a serious big game violation.  You may want to rethink your post.

Thanks for the "help" but I would suggest in order to "not be that guy" you should actually know the law prior to becoming that guy. Party hunting means I would have shot the bull and only me and then had her tag it. There is not law that says while a animal is still alive if she shot it that I can not, that is silly. Her shot was a fatal one, mine just made that process even faster, thus she tagged HER bull.

Poor thing!!! got stuck twice in the vitals!!! DIE DIE DIE

Hes just another hunter trying to kill an elk. When the two arrived at the animal they reviewed the kill an determined that Amber's arrow was the first blood arrow (1st shot that will mortally kill the animal). Although hunter 2 wanted the bull for himself..the prevailing law of the land prevails and alas...Amber gets to tag the bull..better luck next time Paul...no illegal activity here!

Im typing from the woods...aint no elk in Western Wa tempted by my weak ass calling...Good job Amber!

it was fun, I snuck in on a nice 5x5 and 4x4 fighting and messed up a 60 yrd gimme and shot under the big 5x5..... I have never missed a elk and dont really ever miss.... I had my tag filled and his head on the wall before I drew and I rushed it.... I still can not believe it.... first year I have not stuck a bull in a few..... I had other chances but messed em up... this one was a slam dunk!!! oh well all I care about is that Amber got one, I have 5 days left in oregon to get it done.

Congrats.  Sounds like it was a long pack out maybe?

we were 8 miles in, the pack to the landing was fine, then the hike back down to the rig was not bad, a call to security and a open gate... elk out... easy peasy.

thats cute, i was trying to "help" so you wouldnt have self incriminating stuff posted.  here is a direct copy paste from the regs book.

Party hunting:
Party hunting is defined as shooting
at or killing big game or turkeys for
another, killing big game or turkeys
with the intention of having another
person tag the animal; or tagging a big
game animal or turkey that another
person has killed.
Party hunting is illegal for big game
and turkey, except for hunters with
disabilities who have a designated
hunting companion as defined in
WAC 232-12-828.

so, killing big game with the intention of having another person tag the animal, it says it right there.  you absolutely shot that bull with the intention of her tagging it.  whatever, incriminate yourself if you want to.  i was trying to help but i guess you know better than i do huh?  man im such a jerk

The animal was still alive when I shot it, she shot it first... If I would have shot and killed it, then had her tag it.. that is party hunting. She shot it, so did I, since her shot was the first Kill shot, she tagged the elk... nothing illegal abut that.

If you were both legal to shoot that animal then what went down was totally legal.  She had the First fatal shot therefore it is hers to hang a tag on.  Had her shot not been fatal than the first fatal shot would have rightfully been the one to tag the animal.  If she had missed or just wounded the animal and the second hunter made the fatal shot and then allowed the first shooter to tag the animal than that would be considered party hunting in my opinion.

yup, we had tags, legal bows/arrows/broadheads, legal shooting light lol all of it..... some people just want to be the police I guess.

Good job to the lucky lady!!

As far as the party hunting part, looking at the picture, that elk has three holes in it, and according to the write-up, she shot it first, his arrow was second, then while down, but still breathing, she shoots it again...sounds like her elk to me.

Nice Job Amber! Congrats on your bull. Nice write up.  Hope to fish with you and Paul again someday soon.

 I love it when guys post things like this. " I'm just trying to help".  If that were the case I think a PM would have been the right way to go.
  Congratts on the nice bull, and good story BAB country
