" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Because somebody shot a big bull, two different law enforcement agencies spent time and money because it just had to have been poached. And they used facial recognition technology to find him and some futuristic forensic techniques that proved it was shot at night?

Rigggggghhhhht.

There is a well told story in Idaho (actually, it's a classic urban legend, told and retold) that goes like this: Warden stops a hunter at the check station, looks at the animal, busts the hunter for poaching.  How did the warden know it was illegally harvested?  "Animals shot at nighttime will have dilated eyes because of the spotlight...." 

Total horse ba-hookey.

I am wrong but i was thinking Wdfw classifies anything east of i5 a Rocky Mt. Elk.  Last I know king co. where elk are is east of i5.  Unless the boone and crocket scoring is based solely on species type only.  No matter what it was a dandy bull.

That's Boone and Crockett's boundary. The WDFW uses the Pacific Crest Trail.

Every thought of my being is in regards to being a high tech predator and I relish the role.

You guys are a bunch of party-poopers.  This thread was going like wildfire yesterday, and then it just died.  What happened?  It was very entertaining.

It got cleaned up and edited I think.  Now that the spice is gone it is pretty dull.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
