I still perplexed what this "callout" hunt is. Are you talking about a Master Hunter permit hunt as listed in the big game pamphlet, or something else?

The conversation was taking place place in Welcher's Gunshop in Tacoma.  I was in there buying something and one of the other customers had a photo of a mature bull elk he had taken on a damage removal hunt.   

 He said that the WDFW wanted all elk removed from that area and so he decided to try to shoot a mature bull and he was successful.   

He may, or may not have offered more information on where the hunt took place, I think he did, I am almost 100% certain that it was in Western Washington because I think I remember the vegetation in the photo being "western Washington" looking, but I honestly don't remember more details.     

Thank you JD, just looking for clarification.  I know of several "master hunters" who shot bulls in the program that resulted in revocation of their master hunter status. 

 :yeah:

Maybe this was a landowner tag that he had given out by the state based on wildlife damage claims?
:fire.:

" 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

I'm assuming hunt 2717 on page 63.

That hunt is clearly antlerless so it must be something else.

Well I am sorry for starting a sh*tstorm over this. 

In the post I deleted I clearly stated that I hope that this is how it plays out.  I can dream and
hope, can I not?  If hoping is against the rules, I doubt any of us would hunt.   

I also clearly stated that I am a person who plays by the rules and am a team player and whatever WSDOT sets as the rules that I will be grateful for the opportunity.

Up until the point that I talked to that individual I too was unaware of any conflict/removal hunt that allowed taking of mature bulls, but the individual who I was talking to said that the objective in this case was to remove a small band of fifteen, or so, elk completely from the area.

It was not my conversation and although I joined in, I did not butt my way into conversation with the gentleman.  I basically was complementing him on the elk in the photograph and listened as he talked to others about it.

IIRC he used a muzzle loader because it was in a forearm restriction area.

Jd, the post you deleted was far more in depth than a person with "hope".

I would suggest that the best thing you can do it not post again on this topic.

You apparently failed to read the very clear information in the game pamphlet about what a legal elk is. It's got nothing to do with "hope", unless you are hoping to break the law and not get caught.

Also, WSDOT manages roads, not wildlife.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
