He's a trophy and apple-fed to boot. That is a great bull in any state!

Glad your brain surgeries went well enough that you can hunt  :tup:

No, that is not a trophy.  That is a trail camera photo of a great bull. 

If you kill that bull or even see him up close, the memory will always live as a trophy in your mind.  :tup:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

He’s kind of skinny, I’d pass.

A trophy to me is defined by a lot more than just the size of the animal's antlers. Did you work your butt off for him? Were you in a special place? Did you have some buddies or family with you that make that hunt unforgettable? You get the idea.  We can't tell you what a trophy is in your book. I'd be super proud of a bull like that.

 :yeah:

Not knocking that bull . Kill him in a heart beat. Throphy  in the definition  to me would meet either pope and young or BC . Requirements.  . I'd say any 300 bull or 170 buck would eat throphy.  I less a guy has a riffle rut or raffle tag  a 300 bull is a great measuring point.

A majority of Washington's elk hunters will never kill an elk that nice. Many will never kill any elk.

True this!

If you have never shot an Elk put him on the lawn!!

Thanks for the input guys. As this is my first year ever hunting in Washington, anything I harvest will be extremely special

I would push my grandma down, step over her, and not look back  until  he was down.

 :lol4: that got me laughing.
 
that would be a trophy in my book! But then again so is a spike in my book  :chuckle:

  Any legal elk taken legally is a trophy, antlers are just a bonus.
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me
