Great bull, a true westside trophy, I wonder what caused his ear to deform like that. Frostbite, fighting? :dunno:

Thanks everyone!  I think he will top out around 320, not real worried about the score, he has some great Mass and will look awesome on the wall!!  The collar was a Sauk/Suattle tribe collar and it says REWARD on it, I called them they wanted me to drive to Darrington to bring it in, I said I dont think so, Im not gonna spend $50 is fuel to return it all the way up there, then they act like they have no idea about a Reward?  It was collared in January of 2010, Im kind of pissed as I heard they take one ivory for age, but this bull they took both it has no ivorys in it.  They cold have taken a molor not the ivorys, what a crock to take them both.  We shall see what the tribal biologist says on Monday when he calls, I will be asking about the ivorys and the Reward.

I have neverheard of a collar that offered  a reward?  They do take a ivory becaue it is the least intrusive to the animal to take. The molars are set deep in the jawbone whileth ivory teeth aer mainly held in place by soft tissue.  If the elk only has one ivory when they catch it, then they will pull the one that is left.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

No collar, this was a very remote bull. He was living with the mountain goats.
