Hunter facing charges after death of beloved elk named Bullwinkle

In the 2016 regs unit 334 is listed under modern firearm for true spike bull. So should the guy that shoots  a spike bull with a rifle in that unit be ticketed because it is actually a firearms restricted area? Should  he have known this is a restricted area even though the regs have it listed for modern firearm?

There are modern firearms that are not excluded in firearms restricted areas.  A few of them allow shotguns and revolvers which are legal to hunt game with.  A 12 gauge slug is pretty effective, modern and legal.

Of course he should. There is even a warning on the page.

Perhaps WDFW should so away with the printed regulations altogether, since no one  bothers to read them anymore.

Or they can just change the rules to fit their management schemes as they go.  Without following process I might add.

334 ram.    Below the canal.    Hand fed.


At least that's what I read on the internet.

334 ram.    Below the canal.    Han fed.


At least that's what I read on the internet.

Called first to get permission ??

[Dan-o]

But was there one call or two?

And did they ask specifically about the legality of shooting a ram with a chip on the left curl?

I expect a FULL internet inquisition.

I want harsh conclusions drawn before it works through the legal system.

That is a pretty good list of slanderous assumptions. You made those statements like you know the facts when in fact you don't have a clue.  Pretty low class to be making statements like these about someone when you don't know the truth.

Here is a FACT for you Kiti.......You do not know me.  Therefore, you have no idea of WHAT I know. Guess it's OK for you to be slanderous though   I may be low class(I prefer the term redneck ),   but I do hunt legally. FYI

PS, I will no longer play your game.

.................any and all questions should be asked through Conservation Northwest for all of the WDFW rules and laws.

That wont work camp, their too busy running the Forest Circus.

So, from pooling resources I have discovered this;













I am now hunting the 334 for trophy bulls, rams and bucks. those that knew the 334 was a hidden gem of elk, deer and sheep were up until this point hoarding a diamond mine. Well, thank you hw for showing me the promise land as I will now pillage it for all 3 species this fall, thank you that will be all.

That's a baby ram, and I think it still has milk on its lips! 

Some big great white hunter must have killed that baby ram.

 A trophy is in the eye of the beholder yes?

 Perhaps the hunt was more about the experience and time spent with family/friends.

 I agree it's not a "big" or "high scoring" ram, but I've seen similar class elk, whitetail, blacktail and mule deer displayed as proudly by several members of this site, hailed as trophies with almost 100% agreement, simply because of the circumstances.
