Saw the gov tag bull @ Portland

[nwhunter]

I don't want this post to turn into a gov tag bash I just wanted to see if anyone else saw the gov tag bull at the Portland show. I was expecting it to be more massive than it was I guess. It is no doubt a great bull and I won't take away from that but the mainframe is nothing special just lots of points to bring up that crazy score. The pictures I had seen of it made it look way bigger so I was expecting more of a wow factor when I saw the mount. A beautiful bull for sure but some of the big straight 6x were more impressive to me personally. nwhunter

I saw that bull at portland today and wasn't that impressed either.  there was a dandy 350 bull out of lewis river though, anyone know about that.  there was a lot of big bucks, a couple 150 blacktails.

Yes, I want to see another pic of the "not so impressive" new state record elk.

I didn't have my camera but did take a phone pic but have no idea whether that could be posted or not, I sure can't . I'm not saying the bull isn't impressive , don't get me wrong its a beast , I just had in my mind big long main beams that were whale tails and wide and he doesn't have that. nwhunter

No one took pics of these critters? WTH?

I didn't take a camera guys sorry.  I do know the kid who shot the first place buck that scored 150 P&Y.  the only thing is he is half indian and i am sure it wasn't taken with a bow, ya know what i mean.  I can try to get some pics in the future.

I was at the show today and couldn't help but look at that bull... I agree, it doesn't look anywhere near as big in person as it does in all those pictures floating around on the internet!!!  They did a good job at sitting back and figuring out the right angles to make it look big...  Either way, it's a nice bull and a ton of points on that thing!
