If you’re around eatonville or orting I think the are Cascade Roosevelts. Hybrids lol
.
No crown, it's a cross.
If the main beam whale tails instead of crowning...
.
It's rocky dominant.
.
East of I-5, it doesn't matter.
Won't count as a Roosevelt , won't count as a rocky (unless it's 350+)
.
Who cares?
.
Nice bull, but those antlers are not Roosevelt, and body only means it ate good.

It is not a Roosevelt, unless it was west of I-5, and unless it had crowns, I would say it's genes were rocky.
.

But really, who cares?
.
It's not going in a record book.
.
Nice Elk, and congratulations to the hunter.

Submit a sample in for a Geschmacks test. I'll give you the address, and it will require about a 2.5lb prime cut off the rump.

These are east of I5 but not high into any portion of the cascades and roughly 35-40 miles as the crow flies to any portion of the pacific crest trail. I don't care what any of the record books say in regards to location to I5 and what sub-species they consider the elk to be. I've hunted all up and down the west side of the cascades and without a doubt some areas the bulls are Rocky's but other areas the bulls are roosies. Giving consideration to body size, antler characteristics, and the color of the bulls. So I say I5 is irrelevant in determining sub-species and look at the elk in the area your hunting and the heards ability to migrate (if they do) to the Eastside. All the bulls I posted in previous posts are without a doubt roosies regardless of how they would be placed in any of the record books.
