Well they finally got him, I suppose I can release the footage I have of him now, I took about 5 minutes of video of him herding his cows about 2.5 weeks ago, i was gonna try for him but now will have to find a bigger bull.  Congrats to the Governors tag holder and way to go shawn for putting him on it!!!! :)

Yep, he was a good one. We got near him a couple times and then had him pop out of the fog in front of us on the road. Darn camera was in the back of the truck so I couldn't get any pics.

How much money does he make?  That way we can decide whether he is a "real" hunter or not.  :bash:

So would a collar mess with his coat in that area and skrew up your mount?


Also, not trying to be negative, but a collared bull takes some of the "wild" out of the animal in my opinion....steals some of the magic... Like a clipped salmon...

I would ask WDFW if I could keep the collar and have it mounted with the collar. Would be cool to have it on the wall just as it was shot.

Great lookin rosi btw.

Not sure if they have to turn the collar in or not, does anybody have experience with this?  Buckaholic, I dont think there is many up there much bigger turning a westside bull down that size would be crazy hard to do!
Title: Re: Westside Gov. Bull
Post by: steen on September 24, 2010, 01:22:20 PM
I'm sure you have to turn in the collar.  It is kinda like turning in your duck with a band.  The game dept. finds out where  they go and what happened to them.

I would not mention the collar and have it mounted with it.  Congrats to the hunter on that bull.  That bull is a dandy for sure.

Not sure if you "have " to turn them in but when we shot a cow with a collar on her. We called the WDFW and they sent someone to my house to pick it up.
They told me how much the collars cost to replace. I don't remember exactly but it was around $500 I think.

My comment was in no way directed towards this hunter.  It was in regards to a debate that was going on at the time in the thread about the eastside governors bull.

A nice looking bull.  That bull was dumb enough to get put down twice.   :P  I would take the collar off.  If you have any guest that come over they would think you have someones pet hanging on the wall. Either that or get the collar stiched with a name like Brutis or something along those lines.  Just hope the wife doesn't hang a leash off the bottom of it.   :chuckle:

The tape must have started at 3" if that bull scored 370".  But one helluva bull that I'd be thrilled to kill.

C'mon - if the guy holding the rack up is 7'9", and the bull's hanging weight at the butcher is 1300lbs+, that could easily be a 370" bull.  :rolleyes:

370 with the outside spread (if its 50 inches)  added also   :chuckle: And we all know that you dont add the outside spread ..... right  ;)

I know of a non resident who got an incentive tag. I think he hunted wa last year and was chosen by his harvest report. He's in the blues as we speak.
