Good luck to all of the guys who drew a quality rifle bull tag! I am heading up tomorrow after work for a week of calling bulls for my snot knose punk of a nephew who managed to draw one of the coveted Cowiche rifle Rut tags at only 14 years old :bash:good luck, I'd love to have that tag and I know right where I'd be on opening morning.

Well the hunt didn't turn out quite like we had hoped. Opening day we looked at 11 bulls but nothing that would break the 300 inch minimum we were looking for, Saturday the elk were somewhere else and the morning waso slow, that evening we located the bull we were after and put a play on him. My nephew took his shot but missed the bull. We spent the next morning making positive that it was in fact a miss. That evening we moved back to where we started and tried locating a bull, we got a reply from a good bull and started working on him, he was big and definitely in charge of that hill side it was very exciting to say the least. Bugle buster had him coming right in when the kids whispered to hisee dad " I see an elk " and his reply was " if it's the bull shoot him!" From 40 yards behind them we couldn't see any of the action but we did watch my nephew move his rifle 30 degrees to the right and immediately take a shot. There was some confusion because the bull we were calling to was still on the hill above us . We ran up to my nephew to give hugs and high fives and to lay eyes on his bull which he made a fantastic heart shot on at a mere 25 feet. It was a small satellite bull who had snuck in on the calling completely silent, I will not be posting any pictures of the bull or my nephew on this forum due to the few bad people on here who can't just be happy to for a kid who shot his first bull but would rather talk about a wasted quality tag

In 'o7 I burned a margret bull tag on a spike :) ate just as well as the three rag horns I passed on. Got stopped by the gamie on the way home. Officer Foster asked "What couldn't you have found anything bigger?" . Not his job to police quality, and the tag said any bull >:(

I respect that you don't want to post it, but it's too bad. I think you are robbing him more backs slaps than criticism. Anyone criticizing anyone for there legal animal isn't worth the air they are breathing anyway. Tell him congratulations. My first three Bulls were spikes. I'm not ashamed.
:yeah:
Ditto on the WE WANNA SEE PHOTOS! We need something to see so we can do some more backslapping, congratulations and celebrating! I know I'd be ecstatic just to have found and shot a bull, whether it's a spike or a monarch bull. He's a lucky young man to have somebody to show him how to call one in, how to pick the good spots. Elk meat is good stuff!

I agree that I don't feel many people would give him a hard time, but everytime I say that I read a thread where some jackwagon does exactly that, so I don't blame you. Congrats to the young hunter, close quarters elk killing will seal the deal for him. He's an elk hunter for life now!

My first deer was a doe, and I wouldnt let my dad skin it until all my neighbors got home and I toted her to their houses in my wagon :chuckle: no worries critics, it was about 8 degrees out :chuckle: but to me that doe was Boone & Crockett..

:tup: I killed a spike a few years ago with a Rimrock bull tag. The meat was far more important to me than the horns. Never regretted it for a second.

:yeah: it has recently happened to another youth and because of criticism a great bull will not be seen on here. Wish that wasn't the case but i respect the decision.
