Olympic Bull Down

[nw_bowhunter]

Eye guards are antler
points when they are at least one inch long

Exactly & reads in the regulations very clearly... I don't know why this is being questioned

Because it's questionable at best!  That is a legal spike in any spike unit. There are not 2 points above the ears per the regulations.

3 Point Minimum:
A 3 Pt Min elk means that a legal elk in these GMUs must have at least 3 antler points on one side, with at least 2 antler
points above the ear.  Eye guards are antler points when they are at least one inch long

Those points are clearly all above the ear and longer than 1".  Doesn't look at all questionable to me.

Being a legal spike would be questionable through loophole regulation.  Being a three point is not.

You all viewing the picture on your smart phone or tablet?  That is a legal bull looking at it on a 19" screen.
 3 Point Minimum: A 3 Pt. Min. elk means that
a legal elk in these GMUs must have at least 3
antler points on one side, with at least 2 antler
points above the ear. Eye guards are antler
points when they are at least one inch long. clearly the inside to are eye guards and for sure 1" long  A
1x3 and a 2x3 are legal elk in a 3 Pt. Min. unit.
Antler restrictions apply to all hunters during
any open season.
The second set of points surely look longer then the ears.  Especially the one on the left looking at the picture.

Awesome elk congrats to you

I've spent many a day chasing Olympic Unit elk and never connected. That is awesome!!! Truely earned Bull Elk in the tangle of a unit!

What signifies above the ear?
Above where ear comes out of the head or the tip of the ear?

Same for antler, is it the base of the point above the ear or the tip?

Great elk regardless!

Key questions right there. And I don't know the answers.

But I think to be legal a bull needs to have at least two points that originate above the tip of the ears.

Looks like a 4x3 to me.  The right antler, left from the front, has a branch at the top if you blow up the pic.  I think this discussion is why more people don't post pics.  I shot a buck last year that went over 180, but was very hesitant to post pics because I didn't want the topic to go from, wow nice buck, to a scoring debate.

To the hunter, nice bull, way to go!  Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

I agree it looks like a legal bull with the small fork above the ears. Otherwise it would not be legal.

Jeez. 3 animals down in 4 days?? Atta kid. Congrats to your brother.

Your right I just blew the picture up and you can see the split on the top left.  No questions there.

Another Olympic bull down.  Only a few people have seen.

I think Ray Charles could tell you that bull is legal.  Good Job hope the pack out wasn't to bad
