I saw a 400 inch class bull in the back of a red pickup last night in Yakima.  UNBELIEVABLE animal and its still June.  It had the dimensions of Hornseekers bull this year but add velvet.   It was so damn big, I thought a guy was hauling a stumpwad around in his truck.  WOW, that animal would have been a giant(already was).  Crazy big and Crazy dead!  I hope the barbecue was worth it.

I wonder what the story is be hind it? Indians, road kill, or something else? Too bad you couldn't talk to the guy, that sucks!

I really don't understand that.    Why June and why a bull?  Cows eat better anyway.

[boneaddict]

I assume tribal.    It wasn't a state rig and I would hope no one would be dumb enough to pick up a roadkill and drive around town with it. I'll keep my ears peeled.  A bull like that will be talked about.  I don't think the antlers would be far enough along to salvage yet.  NOT sure.

I was wondering, do tribes keep track of there harvest, and do they share this information with  the WDFW.

  take a cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colvilles do.  Not sure what the Yakimas do.  Plateau  would have to answer that.   I'm hoping one of our members gets a pic.   It was bigger than anything I've heard or seen out at Hanford even.

I would like to hear there reasoning behind harvesting bulls verses cows again, I asked the question once before and the answer from the other side was that they all eat the same, I dont buy that, cows are much taister, and if its the antlers there after why not just pick up there sheds, they would get more that way.

heard rumors of 2 dead elk up the 1600 road with their heads cut off already. gotta love it. theres another dead one 3 miles from my job by vantage thats missing its head too just a rotten carcass left.

Thanks Bone for sharing and if you can provide some detail that would be great.  It would go along way to figure out who had the elk.  If anybody has questions about something like this let me know because the more info. I can get the more I can do something about stuff like this.

You see something report it regardless if they look Tribal or not.  I would support it whether anybody thinks I would or not.  It is sad when there are unethical poachers like this and if I were to see it I would do something about it.  Done it before and will continue to do it. 

Change is needed and I'm not going to argue that.  If anybody would like to PM me when you see stuff like this then feel free to do so or if you're out in the woods take pics and gather as much info. as possible and give it to me if you don't want to be the one to report it.  I will gladly do it for you with some info.

That's being serious and not just saying it so please don't get me confused with somebody blowing smoke up someones butt or empty promises.  If it's legitimate, I will help in anyway possible.
