Ea. WA Raffle Bull permission to post.
« on: December 19, 2007, 10:41:05 PM »
Well I finally got the permission to post the Eastern Washington Raffle bull. As some of you know one of my buddies drew the tag and I was fortunate enough to get to spend some time with him in the Blues in search of his trophy. So here's what one raffle ticket will get ya!



If my memory is right he is a tad over 360 and nets out green at 355 7/8! My friend may log-in and tell his story or I may paste it for him at any rate he could leave 100 page story from beginning to end as he hunted for 29 days and looked at allot of tremendous animals!!!!! In the end I know his struggle was finding a bull that wasn't broken up ... a 3-1 cow ratio had much to do with that.



All I can say is he hunted hard he put in his time and miles and in the end he was rewarded with a bull of a lifetime, very well deserving.  :bow: :bow: :bow:
 Congrats Brad!  :tup: Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it and posting this for you.

YES!  Those pics are killer with the snow!  Thanks to you M_ray for working to get permission to post those photos.  Tell your buddy well done, and thank him for allowing you to post.  That's a beautiful bull.  One that gets less than 5" of deductions speaks to its great symmetry.

Thanks for posting the pics. That is an awesome bull and sounds like he earned it. I was lucky enough to have an archery tag over there this year and can only imagine what it would be like picking through all those bulls with a rifle. Thats a nice symetrical big bull that anyone would be proud of. Curious to know out of all the elk you looked at how many spikes did you see. While I was over there scouting and hunting I never saw one just cows and branched bulls. nwhunter

We called one spike in my second day there and I saw one in a herd on another day. That's all I saw but I wasn't there all 29 day's of coarse we'll have to wait to hear that from the Raffle winner himself. But from most of the conversations I had with him I think the answer is going to be very few.

Well its about g#@ da&% time, Ive been sitting on those pics for too freaken long wanting to share. For those that dont know him, Brad has always been way too humble of a guy, hence the long wait to post the pics. Thanks Mark for talking him into it. What a hog of a bull, congrats again Brad!!!

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
