Post by: NWWABOWHNTR on October 01, 2010, 08:15:20 PM: Not sure just trying to put 2 and 2 together.... the way you replied in the tribal thread made me wonder ... especially about the wetside tribes working with the state regarding counting elk and management. If you bowhunt and were in the Taneum for early elk ....

Post by: Practical Approach on October 01, 2010, 08:21:06 PM: I confess I have spent a lot of time in the Nooksack. Been working up there since 1999. I have enjoyed seeing the success of the hunters in the Nooksack in the past few years. It is interesting to follow how many of the bulls that we collar get harvested each year. There are some great bulls up there.

I would have to agree, I though the same thing about the body size. He must be using performance enhancers...?

Post by: boneaddict on October 03, 2010, 12:14:37 PM: i was going to say Nooksack too just by how similiar it does look to the gov tag bull. I also thought it might be a tribal collar. I hope he lives to spread those genes.
