5, the biggest will probably be mine at 436"
I know you've found on close to that but you'll never get a tag!!!
oh yeah, post up some pics of your little honey hole.

well, when will we see the first monster archery bull this year? judging by how they reacted to calls last weekend I'd say real soon. I have a feeling 3dvapor will whack a toad.

See, the way they react to my calls is by running away.... LOL I have got to figure this out!

Dang those are big bulls! I wish someone would arrow a world record archery typ in there!
why would you even wish for something like that it would be nice, but at the same time it would put wa on the map with states like utah, arizona and new mexico where everybody would be applying every year, draw odds only get worse with every big bull taken as more non residents take notice

I think WA is actually pretty safe... as long as they keep charging $300 to get a bonus point!
:yeah:
Who the heck would want to pay $300 a year to hunt a spike. Or to just to put in for a preference point.

Didn't WA have the record archery bull for a short time a few years ago until someone in Utah shot a bigger one that same year? I thought that the WA record is well over 400" for archery.

Agree with Bone's "trigger happy" comment. :hunt2: Combination of tag+opportunity+guy-who's-willing-to-wait-out-the-sub-400"-bulls = not many.

I say 1.

you and bone make a good point but I know a couple die hards who will be working hard for a 400.
a 380" bull sure does look good to most guys :o

I've spent a lot of time with him scouting in the last few months, and while we have seen some good bulls, nothing over 380". :(
I was with him til monday when his partner came over and we saw some really good bulls. He will shoot a good one, but the important thing is that he is happy with what he gets. Who knows, he may already be done. :dunno: ;)

It's tough to kill a 400" if you shoot 380's, but i would.

I also know a guy who drew a rifle tag for one of those units down there.... I wouldn't be surprised if he knocked one down either, he's a friggen die hard when it comes to hunting hard...

there was a 400 inch monster shot on roberts ranch a week ago or so. Shot by a really old guy, like 50 or so. I hear it may be bigger than the burt pence bull shot on martinez a few years ago.Your gonna break alot of 50+ year old's hearts calling them really old. :chuckle: :chuckle:

I know of one bull shot on one of those permits.. scores in the 340's. They called it in. Hunters 1st elk.
I think there's a pic of that bull at the SPortsman's Whorehouse in Kennewick. Date it was shot corresponded with the rifle-rut tag. Blue Creek Unit. Looked about 340 (hard to tell from the angle, straight on). Shot with a pump-action rifle.

I know a few guys who are after big bulls and only big bulls and I'm guessing that a couple of them score.
I know of a couple 400+ from WA this year but I bet we see a couple more soon.
now we wait.....
