Pretty sure they wanted to kill a clean typical over 400" last year and they passed non-typicals that were big big.

No tag for me, I was outbid. :chuckle:

Makes sense. That pennsylvania bull is way bigger and doesnt even have broken points like the WA one.  :chuckle:

The Pennsylvania bull did loose some inches from the rut on broken point tips. But although he doesn't have points broke off he isn't breathing anymore either.  :dunno:
Take your kids into the outdoors. They are our future. Support conservation by joining and participating in future through NRA, SCI, RMEF, Wild Sheep or any of the other great organizations.
