I saw it up on Kifaru's Instagram page so it should be safe to post here.
Awesome bull.
Looks like they took their post down or something? Im not seeing it anymore but saw it this morning. Did realize it was the auction tag bull.

Yeah it's still there. It's the west side auction tag. That's a slob of a bull.
my bad. was looking at the "kifarucast" IG page in the Kifaru_intl page. Heck of a bull.

I would love to just crest the ridge and see that bull , in that setting, just feeding! :drool: :tup:I was thinking the same thing and to me that actually would be enough I wouldn't have to pull the trigger on that but just enjoy seeing and snapping some photos

I'd jerk that trigger so fast and hard that bull wouldn't know how close he was to dying! I'd probably hit 30 feet above him on the hill! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

PIG! That background looks nothing like the west side, not starting nothing, just saying.
It's the west side.

There's no story. It's just a picture posted on Kifaru's instagram page.

My thoughts exactly when I saw it. Not trying to start anything either, but nothing about the background in that photo says western WA. Must be somewhere that is technically western. Who cares I guess. Congrats to the hunter and thanks for the money that was raised in his purchase of the tag. What a stud!

The confusion as is often the case is what record you choose to use, I am 99 percent sure this bull would not qualify for Rosie by the BC and PY records standard (west of 5 and generally "typical" rosie country with ferns, clearcuts, etc ). But would qualify as a Cascade Rose under NW big game records. Regardless, both sides of Interstate 5 have plenty of "crossover" areas hard to distinguish from a photo, so I could be way off base.

I would have thought it was a lot bigger than 363 from that picture, by I suck at scoring.Ya, looks like it should be way more then 363. Maybe deductions knocked it down. I'd like to know the gross vs. Net score on that stud.
Beautiful trophy!

If he carried the rack out that way he would have to be an animal. :chuckle:

And for those questioning the background, I'm wondering how much time they've spent up high on the west slope of the Cascades??
I was thinking the same??? I have hunted tons of areas in the high country of the west side that looks like this terrain.

Hopefully he didn't have to pack that head to far like that. I packed a moose head like that and ended up with the worst muscle pains of my life. Great bull!
I dont believe anyone could packout the rack like that... It would be hell in the alder and reprod.

Are you saying that Aron Snyder was guiding goat hunters on Baker?

Not sure! I just remembered a long time ago listening to a podcast and he mentioned how he would drive a Subaru to the trail head for a hunt in baker area.

I am positive the Aron Snyder has never guided any Goat hunters on Mount Baker or anywhere in WA for that matter...
I was going to tag you for the definitive answer.
