Title: Found Someone's Bull- Hwy 18 & Issaquah Hobart
Post by: Cope30tyee on October 09, 2021, 10:02:18 AM: Good Morning Everyone,

I meant to share this a wild back. I found this bull, with an arrow in it on the on ramp of Hwy 18 just west of Issaquah Hobart Rd. I'm guessing someone shot it up on the state land above there. At first glance, looks like a great shot. However, it's pretty far forward for that angle. It was running across the Hwy when a semi truck hit it. Must have been a heart breaker for whoever couldn't find it. Message me if you have any questions. The date was 09/12/21.

I’m betting it wasn’t there long

Looks like somebody was hunting a private farmland and the bull went more than 100 yards after the shot. I know that area has allot of elk by the hi way to the Hobart exit. Sorry for the person who shot the bull and very sorry for the bull.
