4. Entries: The hunter must submit a story of the hunt, picture of the animal, general location where taken, and claimed score on hunting-washington.com. If either a Blacktail Deer or Roosevelt Elk are being entered, the location must be specific enough to distinguish the species/sub species.

There will be three different weapon categories; modern firearm, muzzleloader, and archery. Washington Big Game Records will be used as the state records.

This is looking like the year of the ram.

That is a great picture scudmaster, even though it cannot be an official entry we will leave it there.

We have eaten a lot of the meat, have a few packages of steaks left.  Its very good.   Can't bring myself to eat the last few steaks since it is very likely I will never have bighorn meat again.
