Nothing yet, but after walking in 2 1/2 miles in the Margaret on a road blocked by a tree found this on our camera an hour before we got there. The time is off. Was shocked to see the trucks riding over and through alders that would be tough on a four wheeler. Hunted until almost dark and heard them coming out. Figured they had an elk to recover and saw an elk rack and elk in back of the pickup. Good to see someone fill a tag.

First Washington Bull.

My 2016 bull. OTC, DIY, Archery, public land ID hunt. Just returned from the great trip with some of my best friends. Found this bull quite a few miles in an among 40 cows; worked him for over any hour but he kept pushing the cows away in an attempt to leave. Finally got him to commit to coming in using a technique by Joel Turner called 'bull calling cows bugle'. Worked like a charm! He finally left the cows, came down the hill to fight, stopped him quartering away at 50 yards and let fly. Never saw what caliber he was till about 10 minutes before I loosed the arrow and was very pleasantly surprised.

Here is my hunting buddy's (DanP) last day of the season Whiteriver bull. We were able to bring him in for a pretty close shot with some challenge bugles and tree raking.

Pretty cool killing the bull you got on your game cam. Nice job scouting and finishing the job. Those eye guards must run in the family.

Yeah, we've seen that funny eye guard on a handful of the Bulls in the area. I figured they were from the same gene pool. Kinda cool looking. The game cams aren't usually helpful for us rifle elk hunters, just awesome that it worked out that way. My boy is still on cloud nine!

I spent 24 Days of October chasing one of them long haired white billy's around the peaks of Northern Wy so I only got a few days to go elk hunting. 1st bull is my little sister I have posted pics before of her other bulls but you know what they say 3rd times a charm in this case 3rd bull. Maybe it was my step dads lucky elk hat from the Lyman Tavern :rolleyes: second is a good buddy of mine came to Wy in search of his biggest bull. He succeeded

I know this is coming late but it's better late than never! This was my fourth year hunting elk after moving to WA from Wisconsin. Spike only units can be tough but I was lucky enough this year and got a good stalk on a big herd over two miles. I wasn't even sure there was a spike in the group until he stepped out broadside from me at 40 yards. This was my first elk & I shot him on public land without vehicle access; it was a seven hour hike to get him out.

Congrats WI to WA, spike hunting is brutal, you scored one of the toughest trophies out there. What was going on with that left antler base?
-
Thanks, Rainier10! It was the most challenging hunt I have ever had. Nothing too exciting with the left antler base; I think the angle might be strange. It does look like it juts out from the head further than it should, though. I was pretty excited at this point, had no one else to take the photo, and was using my phone so I didn't frame it as nicely as I would have liked.

I looks like a tufted of hair between the antler base, like he's got curly afro bangs.

Was it in a spike unit or a true spike unit? I just ask because it always seems guys hunting the spike units are always killing true spikes when I all see hunting the true spike units is 1x2's lol :chuckle:

Two of my hunting partners got these bulls opening weekend of Western modern. They seem to have this spot figured out. Seems like every year on opening weekend I am packing out their bulls from the exact same location. My quad comes in handy for them, and I only charge back strap, tenderloin, and burger.
