Only in Washington can a three point, that is actually a 4X3, become a spike. One of the most stupidly written regulations in this state. I understand the spike restriction was to help hunters who did not see a brow tine when they did their best to follow the rules. But the "originating above the ear" rule on branched antler elk is crazy. It's a 3X4! Would be a 3X3 if it did not have the extra fork (which it does btw). Regulation needs to be rewritten or thrown out.
