Why are the Hanford Bulls allways in velvet, I've seen a lot of pic over the years of Hanford bulls but always in velvet, why??   

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ENOUGH PICS

MR Mass still had velvet.

I'm one of the fortunate people to have a Hanford bull hanging at my house he is a 380 inch bull named Brutus. He was radio collared that's were the name comes from

Yak-NDN, do you know who harvested mr. mass? Was it youth, tribal, landowner,etc....looks like he will need a new cape for the mount.

I have pretty extensive pic library of the Hanford bulls and have never seen the bull in the picture before, doesn't mean it isn't a Hanford bull, but those are dark horns for this area.  I have seen the non typical bull in the other pictures recently that isn't him.  Anyone can hunt the surrounding ranches if you have the money. Between 3-5 thousand per tag.  The tags normally sell a year in advanced so probably to late for next year already.

Some of you have asked for a story behind this bull that huntnphool posted for me.  The truth of the matter is I dont know a whole lot about the hunt. Thats why I asked him to not post the hunter in the picture.  From what I was told the hunter that harvested this beautiful bull bought a landowner tag with some serious cash.  What I do know is that this was not a youth or native and this guys family is VERY well off.  Also, for those of you that say this is not a Hanford bull... your right. Its a Rattlesnake Hills bull!

this bull in the link below looks like the one pictured alive. this bull and the one posted earlier with the dark horns arent the same bulls.

That is one sweet bull. Well they both are for that matter.

For sure not same bull.  The linked one looks like it could be him.  ( loud cough) poached... He was easily accessed from the river, unit not open... I can find out if came from Roberts or surrounding ranches.  I predict not.  Hasty head cut off?    Notice every one near that post wants nothing to do with it?   I have pictures of him on phone from within two weeks he doesnt cross the river or 240.

 Pretty bold accusation, do you have any evidence of this or is this just speculation on your part?

[rambohunter13]

Speculation, not saying cows don't fly, but never seen one.  He was in a spot you could get to him but unit not open.    Unit isn't open and it is 24 days early for rifle.  I asked game warden if i could shoot him tgree weeks ago he said it was a no go.  If they got him on ranch more power to em.  Doubt it happened.   Picture two looks like at boat launch.  I know some people who can look for the kill sight where he has been.  I guess you are right hopefully he went thirty miles this week and got whacked.  Time will tell if he was shot legit it will come out fast, I doubt the wanna be wardens around here will figure it out but sportsmen will.
