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.
It was a management hunt and your only aloud to use a shotgun (because of the close houses and things). It was all cleared. :)

Congratulations.  Nice spike.  Did they let you dress it in the field or did you have to take it elsewhere?

That spike is atleast a 2 1/2 year old. The heard here is Sequim is very in-bread and the 1 1/2 olds have about 6" spikes. The horns are very slow growing to become a branched bulls. Very common for 2 1/2 year olds to be large spikes.
