Anyone see the 405" sheds that are laying on the table inside the informational buiding? Talk about a monster! It says they were from Kittitas County, found on 3-9-08.

ya I saw holy cow

Anybody have a picture or the story? I know they didn't come from the Kittitas feed station because they would be at one of the feeders house!

rezboy · « **Reply #5 on:** March 02, 2009, 12:33:03 PM »

No. Didn't get a story. I just know that's one big pig!

The mass and tine length is crazy. There is nothing even close to it at the Oak Creek station.

Someone needs to go back and get a picture for those of us on the other side of the mtns.

rezboy · « **Reply #7 on:** March 02, 2009, 12:54:13 PM »

I'll try to sneak back up there this week and snap a picture of them. Since they were last years sheds, I would love to see what that big boy looked like this year.

Thanks Rez,
It would be great to see a pic! It sounds like an incredible set! The bulls in the feed lots over here in Eburg keep gettin bigger every year! The feeders pick up most of the big ones and then sneak em home. Enforcement looks the other way..... Our tax payers dollars at work.

rezboy · « **Reply #9 on:** March 02, 2009, 01:34:12 PM »

The sad thing is, I wouldn't mind sneaking these home myself.

His mass is amazing. Every tine is long and massive with some impressive palmation at the base of 4,5 and 6. A dandy indeed!

That's a pretty bold statement about the feeders, groundhog, especially coming from a suspected fence-jumper. It's my understanding that any shed found in the feed lot has to be picked up, tagged, inventoried and turned into the office. This simply removes the temptation, keeping the harassment of the wildlife on the winter range to a minimum.

MVHUNT,
Suspected fence jumper? Not sure where you are gettin your information but IT IS WRONG!!! I bet your information came from a feeder! Typical tactic. Point the finger at someone else. I am a a shed hunter but I do not jump the fence. I do just fine huntin antlers from free ranging bulls in other areas. I would not enjoy hiking in an area that I have to look over my shoulder. If I am a fence jumper than why did I recommend that the WDFW raise the fine to $1,000 for anyone that gets caught sneaking in? I would gladly take a lie detector test if a certain local feeder would take one! I know he would fail!

You are the one making a bold statement especially since you do not know me or anything about me. I on the other hand have a lot of very reliable information to base my statement on. The only thing that I should not have said is that the enforcement looks the other way. I think the enforcement guys are straight shooters that don't believe that one of their employees would sneak antlers out so they do not take the accusations seriously. Ya know what? It pisses me off but I am through with it.

Has anyone seen a bull that would even come close to that score in Kittitas County or at the feeding area up there? The damn thing looked like it came from the Blue's!

groundhog · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2009, 01:27:06 PM »

Hey Rez,
Still hopin to see a pic! Sounds like an incredible bull. With the spike only regs and limited big bull tags I think a monster could come from just about anywhere in the state. All it takes is good genes and some age.
You are right though, the Blues seem to have more than their fair share of monsters. Sure would like to draw that tag one of these years.......

cackle · « **Reply #15 on:** March 04, 2009, 01:32:17 PM »

one of the volenteers at oak creek told me they came from the oak creek feeding station last year. Its hard to believe cuz Ive never seen anything that big up there before I will try to go up and get a pic if I get off early at all this week seens how its only 5 min from my house

In 2007 way up high in 335 Teannaway I saw a bull up around 400 while taking my buddy deer hunting during the modern rifle season. He did not look like a local C. WA bull. His fronts were amazing. They were as long as most of our local elk's G3's are. As for his G3's and G4's well lets just say they were awsome.

rezboy · « **Reply #17 on:** March 04, 2009, 05:32:53 PM »

I'll try to get some pictures of this pig tomorrow.

rezboy · « **Reply #18 on:** March 04, 2009, 06:55:03 PM »

I'm going to try this posting a picture thing. I've got some from Oak Creek the day I saw the big sheds.

luvtohnt · « **Reply #19 on:** March 04, 2009, 07:05:27 PM »

The current state #2 was taken in Kittitas county, uh 419 and change if I remember correctly. I have seen him in person and it has the long fronts and amazingly long G4's.

Some elk at Oak Creek

rezboy · « **Reply #21 on:** March 04, 2009, 07:52:35 PM »

One more. Trying to figure out how to make them bigger (or focus in tighter) on the animal.

rezboy · « **Reply #22 on:** March 04, 2009, 08:12:15 PM »

Anybody see this guy driving around???

colockumelk · « **Reply #23 on:** March 05, 2009, 09:53:53 AM »

Rez you shot the little one in the middle of the middle picture didn't you

I bet he was tender though. Spots and all. Probably just wiped the milk from his lips, like YAK's buck. lol

rezboy · « **Reply #24 on:** March 05, 2009, 02:38:34 PM »

Heck ya! I even strapped it to the top of my wife's rig just like that bull.
