How about we turn this conversation in to a positive one and discuss techniques to kill a mystical magical Spike elk!!!!! Would you assume most spike will behave like a satellite bull? I have seen them walking right with a 6x6 and they acted like best friends.

Actually this is something I have been thinking about, hunting outside WA to increase my odds.

I think they are often like early 20 somethings still living at home with their parents
Opportunity does not equal armed hiking...it means a chance at success

It is not set up for opportunity, it is set up for trophy hunting. I would much rather have opportunity than trophy quality. That is why I hunt Idaho and northeast Washington even though I watch some of the biggest elk herds in the state from my yard. It's a joke of a state. I have drawn one branch antler permit in this state. Then I decided to really take a look at the actual prospects of drawing tags here...it's really pretty tough.

There so many factors: lots of hunters and OTC tags, tribal hunting and rights, poor predator management.The third could be an easy fix, but hell they wont even let us take 2 bears in eastern wa, and were crawling with them.
