The auction tag hunter killed his bull Dec 30 and ya its a cool drop tine bull scores just over 400.. And yes he knew about the giant infamous  bull that was killed prior to that but opted to avoid the drama.. Some giant bulls hit the dirt this year in Washington.. :tup:

Knew about it .........  before, or after it was killed. 
I read this both ways  :dunno:  Just curious

"to avoid the drama" ........by not hunting it,         or        not posting about the one he shot?   

Both make sense, just curious still.

It wasn’t a top secret the last several days of December where the giant bull was at but due to its urban location it would be next to impossible
to kill with a firearm and not be crucified for it even if it was completely legal... Definitely a hard decision to make with that caliber of bull but seems the hunter was correct.

Yeah, but it’s in reference to this hunt. https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,290256.msg3947840.html#msg3947840

I was just thinking he’d get a better answer posting it in there. ;)

The spotting scope pic has been removed.  everyone was speculating on a particular bull.  I had pictures of the bull but did not want to show the hunter's face.  The hunter has since come on Hunt Wa and posted pictures of the bull and removed all speculation.  No reason for the picture to stay up.

The photo removed was not the governor tag bull it was the SE combo raffle bull.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

How are you privileged enough to get a picture I was told he forgot he shot it and he lost all the pictures

President's tag bull must be shot with a nerf dart gun. 
Part of a national initiative... :tree1:
