 In 1989, a harvest management strategy was implemented with a spike bull general season for the Blue Mountians

In 1994, the harvest strategy was changed to spike-only bull during general season for the Yakima and Colockum herds

The state experimented with a spike  only season for the southwest units but changed it after one year to the 3 point reg

and they should change it back in the colockum and Yakima units next year.
Seriously.............they should change it back to something that actually exists.
Wednesday, the game warden that stopped to check my tag and license said he only seen ONE true spike bull this season and it was down on a ranch where it was taken.

I saw two true spikes last weekend , they must have crossed from the wind farm to the ytc. a spike may have eye gaurds as long as they are four inches or less from the base , never seen one but they could ,.

There were 4 true spikes in the wind farm Sat.  They ran 60mph when you got to 1000 yards

The 2009 season was the first year that "true spike" was differentiated in Washington.

Gotta be wayyyyyyyy longer than 2009. I shot a cow elk in the Nile area in yakima when I drew a cow tag in 2000 ,and it was spikes only for bulls then. 1994 sounds about right. WHY WOULD THEY WANT US TO SHOOT YOUNG BULLS ANYWAYS? They never get a chance to grow big. It's a dumb regulation, someone had their head way up their ass on that one.

Nice work Bob33 - you managed to confuse even more people.   

True spike elk only applies to those certain areas pertaining to the Colockum herd.

A spike, is a spike, is a spike. A spike that does not branch above the ear is a spike. Just my

Missed that. You're right. "Spike only" is not "true spike".

Oh well - maybe someone will ask when "true spike" started and now it's answered.
