Title: Big Alkali bull?
Post by: LDennis24 on September 07, 2023, 01:31:05 PM: Someone sent me some pics of a big bull in some sage brush. Looks like a Hanford bull. I won't post pics for a while in case it's somebody's bull on here and they want to post it. Could be an internet troll sending out pics though... it's BIG!

Post by: LDennis24 on September 07, 2023, 01:36:38 PM: Yeah, small thirds typical of some bulls on Hanford. Genetics look just like this old guy.

Post by: Mfowl on September 07, 2023, 01:47:41 PM: It's on FB Washington State Hunting I believe. Both Hanford and Alkali were mentioned but the OP did not confirm. It is a toad though!

They are locals to the alkali so probably where it came from.

Post by: LDennis24 on September 07, 2023, 01:49:16 PM: No velvet, if you remember that pic I just posted it's from several years back. Someone posted a bunch of Hanford pics and this bull had those small thirds. Seems like a common trait around Hanford and the Alkali unit.

That's an elk/whitetail hybrid.

:chuckle: Need to get a short mainbeam elk rack and mount it backwards on a whitetail mount!
