9x13 is what I am told, in the pic it looks huge but maybe an 8x?  palmated right tops... pretty cool

Tulalip is doing there tribal drawing Tuesday for the 3 or 4 Nooksack Bull elk tags they are allowed. If the Tribal Members who hunted turn in their hunter report or unused tags by February they are in the drawing. My wife just happens to be Tulalip and turned her tags in the right time frame. Super stoked and hoping that she can draw one of the tags. Can't wait to see the pics of that big boy you speak of.

I have bugled this guy in before, 2 years ago or his brother.  He was taken within a half mile as the crow flies of the same place.

 :chuckle: :chuckle: So where was it shot, I actually did let a 8x8 with huge palmation on the right side go because of a not so perfect shot but I think the one I let go was way heavier  :o

Nice bull and maybe if you left out that the hunter was a tribal member with a tag legally hunting this wouldn't have gotten some trash comments.  Oh well, always somebody here to rain on somebodies parade, just can't enjoy something nice that's been shared. 

Buck, you've got incredible will power if you passed on a bull of that caliber because I don't think I couldve.

Supposedly the Tribes & Non-Tribes get the same allotment of Nooksack tags. The Non-Tribes get 12 Quality tags & 12 Spike tags & are weapon specific where the Tribes also get the same number of Tags for a total of 48 Tags. The Tribes get to use any weapon they want to use at any time which is what Wea300Mag is referring to when he says it must be nice to be able to use a Rifle.

Nice bull. Congrats to the hunter.
 
Now for the 'wait for it'....
 
I am sick and tired of that tribe and Siera Pacific pulling the strings for that hunt unit!  I hunted that unit in the mid/late 80's when it was open to everyone as Crown land. Everyone knows how much poaching took place then (FROM BOTH SIDES!) because of lack of involvement of WDFW law enforcement and the tribe..
But it is not right the way things are now. It is flip-side over-managed now.

And there it is!  I was going to say something when I first read the comment earlier but thought, why should I take the joy from somebody that is just dying to say it!LOL. I thought it wouldve been earlier and not so long of a wait but, I knew it would come.LOL. Sled, don't worry I was trying ok, am trying to keep some humor going so this thread doesn't get detered and sideways like some others.

Yeah you guys are correct and I and everyone who ever hunted this unit knows what took place ...But on another note they have changed their ways of thinking So we have to forgive them and move one ..They have done alot for the herd up here and I am just as peeesed as everyone else when it comes to accessing land we all used to run the hell out of back in the days when we were running a free country ,,, this country is far from being free now days  :bash: :bash: :bash: :(

I agree with John and STeve,  The herd was decimated in the late 80's and early 90's, by both sides and just piss poor management.  The whole month of January was a muzxzie hunt, and I know for a fact a lot of cows that had been bred never made it past January.  I loved it when it wasa Crown and the main line and most other roads were open,  they have taken away a lot of prime bear and deer country by locking it down.  Of course, the slobs and vandals did a lot to force them to do so, the dumping and damage done to the equipment.  Then we had everybody with their own sets of keys to the closed roads, running their butts all over the place up there where it was closed.  The Tribes have done their part and then some to get the herd back in the right direction, it is almost at goal again.  AS far as the over management of the herd, well that is the WDFW, I have asked them when the new Nooksack herd management plan would come out, since the other one is so old.... yep they will get right on that....
The gentleman that took this bull is a great guy, with a legal tag, using legal equipment.  The only posts on this thread should be congratulating the gentleman for taking such a nice bull.

This is a well deserved tag and animal for the hunter.  Again this site took off in the wrong direction when a great animal was taken.  This bull is a beauty, the picture posted doesnt quite do it justice.  I doubt any more pics will be posted after some of the off target replies, i know i dont care to post any of the ones i have.
