Congrats on a great first bull Jammer, that will be good eating.

Also, I think DeerThug was being sarcastic and not trying to rip on you.

Nice first bull, congrat's.

Hey I did not mean to offend you - sorry if I did so.  Good natured ribbing at your youthful exuberance yes - offending no.

And the comment about Trophy Spike - that is what we call a bull like yours.  There are spikes and then there are Trophy spikes.  Most spikes have 6 to 10 inch horns the size of a carrot and there is great excitment when one goes down.  A trophy spike is a nice spike like you got - maybe even a two year old bull.  When one of these goes down everyone from all of the other camps come to see - like you had shot a 6x6.  In 15 years of elk hunting where I do I have seen only 3 taken.  Remember we can only shoot spikes in eastern WA.

Again sorry if you took my comments as not intended.

This is my first elk.  Knocked him down opening morning about 15 minutes after daylight.  It was a great time! 

Congrats on your first elk!

That is a big body on that bull! Congrats on your first elk! My first and only was a spike too! You would think I killed  a 7x7 as excited as I am over that spike bull and I killed him in 2006! Once again, congrats, no better feeling that to harvest your first bull!

Appreciate all the posts!  Thanks guys

Good for you!  Any elk is a trophy no matter how long the hunt.  When you hunt here during the general season, you shoot the first legal elk you see unless you have a special tag that dictates otherwise.  Awesome!!

Way to go Jammer, nice whitetail buck you got too. I was hoping Josh would have got a deer, but it sounds like he burnt some powder.  Sounds like a great season! Ryan Hartley
