Title: 1 or 2 Elk?
Post by: NWKrenz on November 11, 2015, 08:46:22 AM
Is this just one elk? The rack looks a little strange if it is just one.

Also is this a Rosie?

It was spotted in Bellingham on 11/9, does anybody know anything about this elk?

Looks like one and looks like a rocky mountain bull pretty thin for a Rosie but could be a cross breed

Looks to be two. One looks to be a spike.

It's hard to tell, the two points on the left and the one intertwined are lighter colored.

East side bulls?

If that's one rack I'd love to see it. Those 4th and 5th points are at a weird angle and would be exceptionally long!!! :yike:
The angles definitely do not look right for a rack lying down like that.

Easily one.

Your seeing the 4ths of both to the far right.

The intertwined looking points are the eye guards on the left side. Appears the seconds are more sweeping on that side. The thirds are short, fifths are out of view.

If it were two branched bulls, they'd be dinks. Even if one was a spike, that would be an average wetside branch.

Nice bull, looks like high fence to me.



Oh wait, that's just a tailgate  :chuckle:



Might consider cropping the license plate  :twocents:

Thanks WSU, should have thought about that before posting.

Elk slayer I think that one has more mass that you posted. Could be wrong, the intertwined antlers throw me off.

Post by: LDennis24 on November 12, 2015, 09:05:42 AM
One elk, the head is closer to you on the right near the tailgate and the lighter point's are the G3's and 4's as it goes back towards the drivers seat. :dunno:

I know I'd rather not have my plate pinned on a open forum. Not hiding anything just wouldn't want posted. Maybe the elk was covered by a blue tarp to hide it and it blew off? Just saying it may be illeagle???? :dunno: :yike:

Show me the license plate of a ford truck.
I'll get the vin #.
I'll make a key.
I'll get our address.
I'll come and open your truck.
I'll hit our garage door opener and I'll walk into your house.
Just throwing it out there as a possibility.

Jackelope, not sure how you could do all those things with just a license plate number, but if true, maybe I should be covering up my plates while driving around? You're telling me, my license plates being visible to the public is putting my family at risk?

Exactly what I was thinking. Jackelope is this just something on Ford trucks or every vehicle?

Seems like there would be way more theft if it's as easy as your making it sound. If someone wanted to go look at license plates they should go to a mall not on a hunting forum.

I understand now that's it's a privacy thing now, it's changed.

Lots of sue-happy people out there. But also lots of bad guys trolling for opportunity. If the guy who owns the truck ended up having a legal bull in there, but was wrongfully harassed due to this thread, he could sue NWKrenz for posting his plate number on the internet. Remember anyone can get on this website and read the threads, you have no idea who is on here.

and yeah, a license plate number and VIN would get you a spare key at the right dealership. I remember watching one of those "To Catch a Thief" episodes where the guy goes around to various dealerships with nothing but the two numbers written on a piece of paper and ended up with a few spare keys.

I understand now that's it's a privacy thing now, it's changed.

To make a key to open the doors in a GM, Ford or Chrysler vehicle all the dealer needs is your Vin #. With the license plate, a person can get your address. Is this a far fetched thing to worry about? Absolutely. But it could happen. Get some dirtbag dealership employee and you've got all you need to put that chain of events together.
My biggest point is that it's a privacy and respect thing. Just like posting pictures of other people's animals without their permission.

In order to get keys cut now, there are forms to fill out, picture ID requirements, proof of ownership requirements now at most if not all dealerships.

A license plate is considered to be "Personal Information Identification" (PII), according to the government.  Being careless with PII can get a Federal Employee fined and or jail time. Sure posting a plate number isn't as bad as posting someone's SSN, but it's amazing what bad smart people can do.  Oh, and I think it's only one elk.
