Past years governors tag bulls??
« on: July 11, 2011, 09:51:14 AM »
I've been searching all over for photos/stories of past years governors tag bulls in WA, all I can find is the 2008 monster. I'm not the most internet savvy person in the world but I searched on this site and couldn't find anything either :dunno: Can anybody shed some light on this subject? How 'bout we start with this: does anybody have pics of the 2010 Gov tag bull??

Dan Agnew? The pic was on here a while back. I think he shot the last bull in the Blues.

The bull there that Miles posted is Mr. Agnew's '10 bull. The 2009 auction tag was sold to a guy in Oregon. I don't think we ever saw pics of that one. The 451 bull was Mr. Agnew's 2008 bull.

you saw that bull in person at like 30 yards... didn't you take a picture? or were you drooling over the spike that was out of range.

Yeah may be but to me they count less than a 3 point rag horn someone shot off public land during general season. Just my  :twocents:

Now if he got drawn in the lottery that would be a different story, not trying to take anything away from someones trophy they killed off public land in a permit hunt. Just saying that someone who purchases a gov tag that can hunt anywhere in the state that is open to elk during any season open (that is my understanding of how the gov tag works) then pays additional $ to have a group of guys scout him a bull and then bring him to that bull then probably even call that bull in for him then I'm sure pack it out for him...well that just doesnt mean much to me. I'll take the doe BT I killed during late archery over that any day, and that is no joke.

That being said, I'm thankful to him for the $ that he paid that goes to the state and hope it is managed well
