It was an epic hunt and "dchuber" could have just as easily of pulled the trigger. I would like to thank Derrick and my Packers (family) for helping cape, quarter and pack.

WOW! Killer animal. Congrats! Just as an aside to those who are mislead; there are no roosevelts east of I5.
Is that because of all the signs along I-5 telling the elk they can't cross? Or is it just easier to cross the cascade mountain range then it is to cross I-5?

I still can't believe it. I took two bulls this year that add up to over 670" of bone (before this year I never really bothered to measure many of my bulls). My biggest to date was a 220ish true Roosevelt. I consider myself very fortunate, blessed, lucky, etc.... To have the health and opportunities that I do.
I have been hearing a lot about records and scores but I am just glad that I was able to push through one of my most challenging seasons I can remember and connect on the last day with a DIY, OTC bull that exceeded my wildest expectations.

Evidence:
Quote by author JPhelps, "Here is my last day Bull from 2012. It was on an OTC, DIY Western Washington tag.
Margaret is permit only.
Conclusion: Not a Margaret bull.
Evidence:
JckfirAssain's location in his avaitar on the trail cam picture indicates he is from S.W Washington. Leaving no other possibility as to the location that this bull was photographed and harvested..........
Clearly this bull was taken in.................
NEW MEXICO!!!!!
Thank you...thank you....yes, I do amaze myself at times as well!!!!! :IBCOOL:

That sure is a nice bull. I've gotten a pile of texts from buddies that either know you or know of your bull or where it was shot. (so they think) I won't throw that out, but if it's where they say. We seen a dandy in the neighborhood a few years ago...No matter what. Congrats on punching your tag on a bull of that caliber.
Thanks! That's been the best part (hearing where I killed him) :chuckle: It is giving me some good spots to go check out though.

We got him a bow for his upcoming 3rd birthday and I'm pretty excited.
