In the last 35 yrs I've hunted Elk probably 20 yrs or so & I've killed 9 Elk. 8 of them were Nooksack Bulls & the other one was a last day Calf in Montana.

19 elk, 3 archery, 3 front loader and 13 rifle. 17 bulls and 2 cows. 2 of the 3 with my front loader made Washington state book with the largest at 355, I shot it 2 years ago. For the last 15 years, I only hunt them when I draw a good tag.
Have any pictures of that 355... Love to see it ......

On and off for 26 years. 
6 cows
1 spike
3-5x5
3-6x6
1-6x7 (358" gross, 350 net)
4 total P&Y bulls (3 over 300"),  All Western WA typical Roosies, archery.
Have had a self imposed 5x5 or better rule for the past 10 years so, couple that with an average of less than 2-3 days per year of hunting and I have eaten a few tags as of late.

I've hunted elk on/off since I was 10. In those 27 years,I've actually hunted elk maybe 9-10 seasons.

I've killed 2 spikes and a cow.

20 years or so
1 Rifle bull 5x5
3 bulls archery 2 spikes  and 3x3
1 cow with a cell phone
Yeah its a long story on the cow
In a nutshell, found it when leaving Taneum with 2 broken legs in an irrigation canal with no trespass signs everywhere it had come down off the concrete flume on the hill.
The game warden was called using the cell phone who shot it and let us tag it and hence "cell phone elk'

10 years 6 elk. Started in Taneum area with a 50+ year camp I was invited too. Spike only seasons without luck for 4-5 years.  Went to Idaho panhandle in 2006 where I started getting into them.
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.
