Congrats.  That's a huge bodied spike with some thick bases :)

Congrats on the elk.  I see the heard standing by the HWY at times when I am passing through.

Just saw that herd last week down by the bay. Looks like the same field from your pictures.  There were some big bulls in that herd!!!!  Good job on that spike..


Just curious, what weapon did you use to harvest that great spike?

No, it was down around houses so I had to use a shotgun. I used a 12 gauge.

If B&C had a category for "spikes", you just shot a Booner spike!  I've never seen mass like that on a spike.  That will make a great European mount.

243girl,

Reason I asked about the weapon is cuz I believe all of the area north of 101 there has a ban on modern firearms. Not positive about it, but I used to bowhunt all over around there when I lived in Port Angeles and some of my buddies HAD to use scatterguns for deer.
Regardless, that is the thickest, heaviest, and burliest spike that I have seen in a long time.
