I've got $100 that says that it's killed in December, in the Entiat, and scores between 180 and 200", depending on who is holding the "raculator" :chuckle:Since this is in the elk threads and we are talking about the East side Elk Auction tag I'll take you up on that bet. ;)

Weren't you talking about big elk in the Entiat? I was going off what I thought was excellent insider information? :chuckle:

BTW Phool, you still owe me $100 from last year.... :chuckle:

I guess I am not the only one who thinks that the only governor's tag is the one for mule deer! :chuckle:Checks in the mail, along with your jet boiler. :rolleyes:

Klumper has a date with the double D :chuckle:
Double D might be safe this year. If he's not, competition will be stiff.

You make a great point and i apologize. I should have explained. If I spent a bunch of money on a bull tag I would be hunting the easier to hike country. Like the dayton unit. Yes there's some steep stuff but its an easier hike and hunt than let's say the watershed. Lots of places in the blues hold great bulls. But if you had the tag and could hunt any of those units (I think the watershed is closed to the govenor tag until the regular season but I apologize if im wrong) would you be hunting big bulls in the steep country or easier to hike stuff? If I had the money i know where id be.Nothing personal but if I had a gov tag or raffle tag as good as the bulls might be in the watershed there are other units that hold recorded bigger bulls.. And double d is a drop tine bull that is huge that if it is a smart bull will stay right where he is.. I believe he is smart..LOL

Maverick, no worries. I have heard stories of some of the previous auction tag hunts and can see where you could draw that conclusion. I can assure you Kevin put his field time in and hiked his ass off last year, he was out before light and back after dark every day, and was not road hunting. ;)

Now I have to ask, how the Hell does a giant bull snap a main beam in half?!!! Didn't anyone find his sheds or his broke off beam? Anyone got a pic of that monster. no need to say where hes at. Id rather not know! It's the guys that watch and get to know the bull that deserve him!

Sounds like the tag holder is a standup gentleman and good luck to him. Can't wait to see what he harvests. Oh and yep, I recognize that bull and background from anywhere, Colockum, no doubt! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Is not gonna look like that for long.. that bull will be BBQ'd and the landscape will be scorched... but we all know that is a Blues bull.. notice that funky kicker on the one side... sure sign of Blues bulls.... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Huntbear, you better get your self to an ER, it is easy to see you are delerious from smoke inhalation. Colockum for sure. :tup:
:chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: Colockumelk just set the fire from his black helicopter so he could have the fire take care of the troublesome timber and old growth. Now that it's being burnt out by fire it will make room for new growth and produce better feed and turn his 400" plus bulls into 500" plus monster trophy bruiser bulls!!! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I passed on him last year because I wanted something non-typical but I didn't want something with a drop tine....it just looks silly.
:yike: you are the man, it would take a lot to pass on a bull like that. The one in your avatar, is that your 2011 bull?
Post by: Mr Mykiss on August 14, 2012, 02:12:02 PM
Last year: I had decided that I owe it to myself to go battle it out with team mossback, their 9 guides and trespassing teal to go after DT and the bull that rafflemule got. HOWEVER... that plan was to be put into effect on 9/12, the events the evening of 9/11 changed my plan. I didn't have a tag on 9/12...at least not an unused one :chuckle: :chuckle:
Post by: PlateauNDN on August 14, 2012, 02:16:02 PM
Sometimes I'm the man but in this case I'm just a giant liar. I would never pass on that bull!! The bull in my avatar was last years bull.

There are fewer haters when you have the incentive tag.He is just lookin for a good bull and does not have a ton of time but has ten days off at the end of sept. and all weekends. Should be a fun tag.

when you have the gov. tag can you hunt any unit? or does it have to be open to general season hunting??The gov tag for east, raffle tag for east, not sure about the incentive but think it is the same . all tags are good from sept. 1 to dec 31 any eastside gmu that is open to elk hunting.. So he cant basically hunt everywhere except hanford and the reservations if I am not wrong for 4 months..

I dont dont think he can go into watershed until its open for everyone. Cause bow muzzle and rifle all hunt in there during modern firearm. Why would govnor be different?
That could be I am not clear on that one . But it does state any gmu that is open to elk. I guess I would need to call for a interpetation on that one.
Post by: B.G.hunter on August 15, 2012, 05:59:02 PM
It states in the regulations on page 83 all gmus except 157 for the raffle tag and I assume the auction tag is the same.I dont dont think he can go into watershed until its open for everyone. Cause bow muzzle and rifle all hunt in there during modern firearm. Why would govnor be different?
