Washington Gov Bull

[huntnfmly]

I would love to just crest the ridge and see that bull , in that setting, just feeding!   

I wouldn't have to pull the trigger on that but just enjoy seeing and snapping some photos

I'd jerk that trigger so fast and hard that bull wouldn't know how close he was to dying! I'd probably hit 30 feet above him on the hill!   

@724wd I literally laughed out loud and yes I hear ya I don't care who you are that's funny right there

Can someone post a link to the story, I can’t find it??

PIG!  That background looks nothing like the west side, not starting nothing, just saying.

It's the west side.

There's no story. It's just a picture posted on Kifaru's instagram page.

Gotcha, thanks!  Any work of the area it was taken in? Not exact, just vaguely?

The west side of the Cascades.

Congrats to the hunter

My thoughts exactly when I saw it.  Not trying to start anything either, but nothing about the background in that photo says western WA.  Must be somewhere that is technically western.  Who cares I guess.  Congrats to the hunter and thanks for the money that was raised in his purchase of the tag.  What a stud!

Looks like a huge elk, who cares about the bushes?

   True that. 

   The confusion as is often the case is what record you choose to use, I am 99 percent sure this bull would not qualify for Rosie by the BC and PY records standard (west of 5 and generally "typical" rosie country with ferns, clearcuts, etc ). But would qualify as a Cascade Rose under NW big game records. Regardless, both sides of Interstate 5 have plenty of "crossover" areas hard to distinguish from a photo, so I could be way off base.

I'm going with it definitely being a Cascade Roosevelt bull in the NW Big Game record book. I guess it would be a Rocky Mountain elk in the Boone and Crockett book. I'm also assuming that the lucky hunter couldn't care less.

Yup, great bull!  Wish i never mentioned the back ground.
