Lefty, What was your previous screen/ account name?  Yes, if only all of us peasants could understand elk like you do. Please continue to educate us on things like the "Spirit" of a spike unit, and how we should consider "how" elk develop antler growth each year before taking a shot on a 1x5 in a spike unit.

That's funny. It's just time in the woods. There is no substitute.

This should get something really started  :chuckle: did you know you can shoot a spike with eyeguards in a true spike unit

I don't elk hunt the Eastside so I have never been real concerned about wether an elk is a legal spike or not. I'm sure my view would change if I hunted the Eastside and could only shoot legal spikes. I haven't had to deal with that so my perspective is probably a lot different then Eastside hunters. Don't hate me for that.

Im reply #10, you told everyone (with some authority), that the original bull was not legal in a spike only unit. Now, its that you aren't concerned with what a legal spike is because you don't hunt the Eastside. So which is it?

Authority? This is the internet. No, seriously, if it was spike only and I ran into that bull in a spike only unit I wouldn't shoot.
