Post by: jackelope on May 07, 2010, 09:46:42 AM: Definitely a drop camp.

Post by: nwhunter on May 07, 2010, 11:23:28 AM: A 390 bull with a spread under 40 is unreal. The odds on those tags are already going to be terrible with WDFW new app. system but thats another topic! Ya it was only a drop camp but Dave certainly put them in the right spot. nwhunter

Post by: dreamingbig on May 11, 2010, 06:38:13 AM: A very fine bull and a good read. I can't imagine missing that bull at less than 10 yards and then getting a second chance.

Post by: bowhiker on May 17, 2010, 10:19:09 AM: I was quite surprised to see a washington elk on the cover of eastmans. It was sure nice to see the love spread to this state. I didn't know we had bulls of that caliber, but that's probably because I hunt the west side, and have only been here about 6 years. Great bull and great story.
