I will pass on all these words. Thank you all. I can vouch for this hunter and say that he is a straight up savage and worked for every inch of this trophy.  My buddy told me "he is a flat out killa of elk" He is a local guy and hunts very hard every year.
Rambo comes to mind.

I wish it was a nooksack bull.  That means there was a general season in 418 :bash:
I understand that the Nooksack is a permit hunt! With that being said... I was commenting on the fact that the bull has a lot of the same qualities of a bull in that unit and all the more the hunter should be happy to have harvested such a monarch as he did...in a DIY area and not a permit unit. My hat is off to him and congratulations once again.

That is a heart shot.  His leg has two joints.  Right above the first joint is his heart.  The bone goes forward from just below the wound.  Perfect shot.

Who cares where he shot it. Bull of a lifetime. At least he shared or someone did. Good job.  Shot placement was good. He found it and it was dead. Everyone is quick to judge. Until your in that position no judging. Jealousy is a horrible.  Go get em boys few days left.

It was found dead after a second arrow and tracking for five hours.  There is no jealously on this end, it's a great animal that was harvested by a hunter. All I was addressing was the question of a bad shot, which, happens with everyone at some point.  The initial shot resulted in a five hour track.  Is that good? Hell I guess it's all ones opinion.

As far as location, southwest, northwest a few miles in...10 miles in on the road...people I'm sure will figure it out eventually and shouldn't surprise anyone.

Why is everyone trying to keep it a big secret where it was shot? The bull is dead now and if thousands of road hunters flock to that area, well that's just the way it is. By the way, my friends, sisters boyfriend knows a guy, who knows a guy that said it was killed in the Snoqualmie Tree Farm.  ;)  Anyone that hasn't figure out where you are going to hunt yet, better hurry up and buy a Hancock permit before everyone else finds out that this bull was killed in the Snoqualmie Tree Farm. :chuckle:

It's Hunterdan's bull. He's posted it on another thread.

http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,160698.0.html (http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,160698.0.html)

No, this thread is about a west side bull. The link you posted is a bull from the NE.

Nice bull was it in the back of a white Toyota pickup yesterday? if so i saw ya on the side of the road by a taxidermy shop.
I dont think so he was still coming out of the woods yesterday.

So rumors are stirring that this bull was let go to waste.  Can you confirm your buddie didn't waste the meat.  Any of you guys who act like you know this guy know if he wasted the meat?

Good deal.  So you did put hands on this bull? 

Yes I agree the aditudes are funny.  Like it's some super secret story of the bull getting shot.  I understand it's not your story but being so vague just makes them appear as if they think there **** don't stink cause they know the guy who killed a nice bull.

Nice bull none the less.  Good to hear the meat will be eaten.

Agreed...why all the top secret stuff?

What is the point of somewhat telling the story. Why not post everything you know? I believe that is what this forum is about; sharing stories, pictures, helping others, etc

I don't believe anyone on here is going to jump into their truck and head out to the kill site, once reading this. The bull is dead, so what does it matter. No need to post GPS coordinates, but why not share the GMU and the story behind the kill.

IMO- It comes off cocky posting vague information. Congrat's to the hunter. Great bull...

I don't really understand why everyone always has to be so... Questiony when someone harvests a quality animal, who cares where it was harvested... Yes that bull probably has some offspring running around. But like any normal hunter no ones going to give there spot up especially when it's a public access area. Not trying to offend anyone but  just enjoy that dandy bull... But a story about the hunt would be awesome describing how it went not where it was lol. :tup:

It always cracks me up the guys who get butt hurt that people won't share where they killed a bull. This bull is an absolute giant, I don't blame the hunter or friends for not running their mouths about where it was killed. It's a west side bull. Most of us probably know the area it was killed, elk don't grow that big in every part of our state.

It's an amazing bull. A true giant.

 Congratulation's to the hunting party (and hunter). That's a dandy bull.

 I hope that it come's out that this bull was taken from the north side of Bull Mountain, on Bull Ridge, at the head of Bull Canyon, above Bull Creek that flow's into the Bull River.

 No, forum's are not about telling everything you know for the whole world to see!!! I hope he come's on here, tell's a great story and leave's some thing's secret for only him and his party to know.

 I also hope that he really research's taxidermist's and get's a great one for his bull.

They did run their mouth about where it was killed though....  I knew where it was killed and had a text of the bull before it even got posted on here.   I am not butt hurt that he wont confirm what his buddys wife already has.  I never one time asked where it was killed, I already knew.  I wont go to hunt the area.  I have my area.  I doubt another bull like that is in that same area anyways. If you had read my posts youd know I could really care less about location.  Im interested in the story of the hunt.  Great bull!

I never quoted you so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'll bet good money that bull was not killed anywhere near washougal like you say it was either.

Are you suggesting that the OP is withholding information because of the rumors about the bull being shot in the watershed? I have heard that WDFW is investigating the location that this bull was harvested, so I hope everything checks out for the hunter.  Its a dandy bull and it would be a shame if the rumors came to fruition.

People lie on there score sheets about locations all the time. They think listing a different location will keep people from going to there area for a chance at a big animal. Same as some lie and say they didn't harvest a animal on there hunter report. It's not a un common thing.

Fowl has no reason to lie and he obviously thinks its the same guy and same bull.

More digging  - A video from 2010, check the bull out at the 1:33 mark.  Horn config looks the same to me, just not as much mass and tine length. Look at the distance between #2 and #3 on the right antler and the relative closeness of 3 and 4 on the right again.  Also how #3 on the left kicks out. Is this the same bull 4 years younger?
