Title: Rimrock Modern Any Bull
Post by: Slayerz on August 04, 2016, 12:39:58 PM: I have a Rimrock modern firearm bull tag this year and have gotten a couple scouting trips in so far. Here are some pictures for the month of July.

Moultrie Trace cameras, I picked them up for $50 each last summer. They seem to work good enough.

Post by: Slayerz on October 26, 2016, 06:17:00 PM: My season has ended with meet for the freezer. Opening day found me hiking about 15 miles, seeing a few cows and busting a herd in the thick stuff. Having never hunted here, I realized that without prior knowledge of the unit, any bull that found itself in my crosshairs would be good enough for me. On the second day of season, I started at daylight hiking up through the steep stuff, with some heavy timber and some small opening here and there. After about 3/4 of a mile and 800 vertical feet I noticed a funny color on the hill above me through some small trees. It was a bull, so I immediately put 2 shots through the ribs and he changed direction then tipped over. I got my Dad on the radio and he was able to hike up to where I was and snap some pictures and help with getting the elk back to the truck. The place he tipped over made for some great pictures.

Post by: bigfish51 on October 26, 2016, 07:23:56 PM: Nice bull! Kind of a unique fella. 2x3, but he qualifies as a spike in the regular spike units. I'd like to see him Saturday am!

Post by: WildBear on October 27, 2016, 06:24:42 AM: Nice bull! Can't beat a filled tag, and meat in the freezer! Great hunt with the scouting before hand and a notched tag! That's a "Trophy" in my book. :tup:

Title: Re: Rimrock Modern Any Bull
Post by: outdooraddict on October 27, 2016, 02:02:07 PM: Qualifies as a spike?
Title: Re: Rimrock Modern Any Bull
Post by: bigfish51 on October 27, 2016, 02:08:21 PM: Yep. The one side doesn't since it has a branch up top. Assuming that the left side doesn't have a branch more than 4 inches above the base, then it would qualify as a spike per WA state law.

Post by: outdooraddict on October 27, 2016, 02:41:14 PM: interesting, I'm not up to speed on the elk restrictions like that, I would have passed him in a spike unit. has anyone ever shot a bull that had a branch below the 4 point mark or a bull that broke off his antler like a 6x1 or anything like that. and if so did you get questioned? by the way, congrats on the harvest. any bull is a good bull

Buddy 6-7 years ago shot a 1×6 . Left side was 23" long spike right side was a decent 6. Warden stopped us ( to check for any bull tag ) saw the bull , laughed and said have a good day.
O.P nice bull in a tough unit

Jesse it looks like you got one of the trail camera bulls. Thanks for sending me the pictures. Hopefully you can find some time to post up the story.
