Most definitely a Rez bull.   A very good one.   Congrats to the Hunter.   Some serious hunters in that pic.

What's up with all the camo? I can only guess that they were hunting with their windows rolled down....... :chuckle: :chuckle:

Why would you say something like that?  The guys in that photo live hunting 24/7/365.

Ya I THINK about hunting elk 24/7/365 but I only get to hunt this state 9 days.
   My sarcasm about the camo is my guess this bull was loaded in the back of a truck whole like most quality road hunters.

My family spent time with one of the guys in that photo's family at Stampede one year (second week of August) and he brought his bow and a rag bag target and was practicing his shooting every spare minute he got getting ready for the September 1 opener.  I can promise you that these guys are out in the field every chance they get. 

When they get lucky and get a bull down where it can be loaded whole, they did a lot to make that luck happen.  If I had been following an elk I was targeting all summer you better believe that if I could put it down where I could get a truck to it that I would try to take advantage of that situation.

One of the most ignorant posts I have read in awhile, you have no idea who these guys are or how much time they spent after this bull.  :stup:

I couldn't agree more. Someone must be jealous. Nice bull, great work guys.

Maybe I shouldn't have stereotyped.  I am quite sure that I have spent more time on the winter range than you. Please come over into any of the yakima elk areas and watch what happens to our elk as they come out of the mountains. I have yet to see a native hiking over a ridge or backpack a bull out yet!  It truly puts a bad taste in my mouth.
  Jealous? Not a bit. My other mistake was taking a jab at a tribal hunt on their own reservation. I totally support them hunting on their land whenever they want. When they hunt "ceded" land they should follow wdfw rules...

They're not Yakama. They're colville tribe, and there's a huge difference between the way the colvilles manage their wildlife and hunt and the way the Yakama tribe does things.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
