I couldn't help feel envious that Steve's  tag was on the bull of a lifetime and not mine.

Steve just posted a pic of his bull on Instagram.

Congrats on a successful hunt!

Fly4fish, great bull and post.  Thanks for sharing.  His tops look a lot like the tops of the bull in the pic, below.  What a great bull!

Rinella's bull is also a great bull. Similar to the 7x8 I was close to.  Glad Steve is a better hunter than me and got it done!

For me, one of the benefits of this hunt was sharing it with anyone who wanted to read along.  I said several times that this hunt deserved a GoPro.  That would be a great video.

Thanks Shawn. I agree, this hunt would make is great video, and it will! I got some great footage of the hunt, kill shot, death and will be putting it all together in the next months.  I run a head camera mount company, so I have to get all of my hunting on film and have developed ways of getting entertaining footage with minimal effort.

Also, I'm not so sure Steve is a better hunter than you.  For one thing, he had a team. The other, you could strike out on 100 opportunities in a row, or get one your first try.  Luck, or rather a lack of bad luck certainly play a big role in it.  Just like you not getting a shot due to the brush being a little too tall.  I should also let you know that I have had the tag twice before and have had significantly less success.  The first go round I ate the tag.  On the second round, I ended up shooting a 6x1. This season I decided any 6 point would do on last day; luckily the bull I got provided me with a shot, but at that time, a bull like yours would have fell victim as well to me as well.   

Thanks again for the write up and sharing your adventures!

I know of 4 bulls killed in the unit: Buck10's, Fly4fish's, Rinella's, and mine. Anyone know of any others?

I was in contact with 2 of the 4 East Wenaha hunters. Both tagged good bulls. Anyone know other results from there?

I follow mtncook and he’s posted pics of 3 nice bulls from either the wenaha or Tucannon. I talked to one of the Tucannon tag holders last week and he said as far as he knew nobody had killed a bull yet.

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

I know of at least 2 bulls possibly 3 killed in tucannon.  That unit is starting to have a wolf issue :( there were 4 at teepee trail head and tracks across the misery trail all the way across. Oh yes I know the difference between wolf and cat tracks😜

Sounds like the number of mountain view applications will go up next year after this thread .... Haha anyone thinking of applying please look at a topographic map and realize what you are signing up for.  Blue mountains are not for the weak legged or out of shape folks.
