2007 WA Archery Bull

[nwhunter]

Got him green scored today grossed 380 and nets 366. Will see how he does after the sixty days. Right now he should make the top four in the state. The unreal thing is his mass measurement is allmost the same on the bottom as the top! nwhunter

That bull is SICK!

Do you know how hard it is gonna be sleeping at night knowing there are pigs like that running around in this state?

Thats an AMAZING BULL!

I wanna see the mount when its done!

Great bull man!  I would too like to know the unit you drew but oh well...
That's like telling someone you shot a deer in the glacier peak wilderness area...  pretty hard to pick out the spot.

One hell of a bull Scott! You worked for it and deserve it. Don't let general ruin it for you. Maybe he didn't mean to come off harsh...or maybe he is one of the information suppliers?  He should have PM'd you for sure.

Just remember...everytime you look at your bull you will know how you feel. It doesn't matter what anybody else says.

You were trying to do right for the people who supplied you help and that is something to be said for. I know a lot of people who would care less...like my last hunting partner of 15 years!

Enjoy bud!

Freaking awesome bull!!!!  Congrats! 
I'm glad you got him on the East side or you would have knocked me out of 5th.

Thanks guys ,nice to see my bull and story resurface from early fall. Still hard to believe I got a bull like that after all the years of hunting and hoping and dreaming about it. Its in the process of being mounted and will  have it back for the Puyallup show. Can't wait to see it. Having an offset shoulder mount looking right with closed mouth, should be awesome. nwhunter

I will tell the short version and hopefully the long version might make a magazine in the future. I emailed the pics to a member here who said he would add tehm to my post so hopefully this works.      I drew an eastside big bull tag and with the help of many was able to have an awesome hunt and got a bull of a lifetime. I tried to do everything your suppose to, talked to past tag holders, talked to game bios, got maps , scouted even though it was a long road trip, got in shape shot my bow faithfully and packed in with horses and mules to get away from other hunters. Believe me it was worth it! We got on this bull the fourth day and believe me we had logged a lot of miles by then . We were in a deep canyon and after a round about hike to get the wind right and two failed setups the third time was a charm. My brother cow called him in and he stopped in front of a tree I had ranged at 28 yards to bugle and I got a good shot and the G5 did the rest. In thirty seconds he was dead in front of us. It was an awesome experience and to get to share it with my dad who packed us in and my brother and brother in law who are the best hunting partners a guy could have topped it all off! We got the whole hunt on video so hopefully it will be on Steve Chappells Extreme Bulls 5 video as it was his camera he sent us to use. He is a beauty with mass and palmation you really have to touch and see to believe. He is a 6x7 that we rough scored at 370 and hopefully I will get a green score real soon. I feel very fortunate and lucky to have harvested this bull of a lifetime especially in our state and wish everyone who really loves to hunt elk with a bow could one day experience how I feel. Out of consideration for guys who helped me out with info on the area I am not going to give out the eastside unit name so please don't ask. Sorry for the short and sweet version here but really the pics tell it all!  Scott  nwhunter
