He killed a tame bull in a farmer's field--that one sentence says it all.

that sentence means nothing!  It's the one about the unit not being open to branch antler elk that's the good one!   :tup:

If Bullwinkle identified as a cow would it be legal to shoot it in the unit hunted?

I believe this defense is on the table, not their first choice but I think it is an option if they get to that point.  :chuckle:

I am glad that this is actually moving pretty quickly now. Another hearing next month and possibly a trial days after that.  If I had to bet money on this I would say it gets settled in the next month and they finalize it all at the July 26th hearing.
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.

Would he have to identify as a spike?

He'd have to identify unit 334 as another unit like 328.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

:yeah:  It's not a question of what kind of animal would be legal, that tag just plain isn't good for anything in that GMU.  The argument a few pages back about what makes a spike vs a branch antler bull would only be a valid argument for the general season tag, not the raffle tag.

So transgender elk have the same rights as people?

The raffle tag wasn't valid in that unit. Period.

It's no different than if he had used the same tag on a bull elk in Arizona.

I get it.

I don't believe in transgender either.

So the entire unit would have to self identify as 328, that might be a bit of a stretch.

Wouldn't matter, it would still be dead.
