Title: What is Best Unit for Harvesting a Trophy Muley?
Post by: Wea300mag on July 01, 2008, 05:43:26 PM: Thought this would be interesting now that permits are already in and the results should be available next week. Do not use past history in your decision, this is for the 2008 season.

Thanks to Passion, a throphy=170 or better for this poll.

I realize what is considered a trophy varies from one hunter to another, so let's say 170 or better.

Post by: Wea300mag on July 03, 2008, 09:19:33 AM: The Desert Unit is supposed to be this states "trophy" area but is not getting many votes. I agree with the voting though, I think it is highly over rated.

Post by: 6 Point on July 21, 2008, 09:57:14 AM: Last year out of Colville, I saw a muley buck that I would estimate about 34" wide( I have one on the wall at 38"), but could not get close enough to Him to take a muzzleloader shot. Settled for a nice whittail, but this year if He is still on the ranch, going to set up an ambush :chuckle:

Post by: buckmaster_wa on July 23, 2008, 11:35:01 AM: I would have to say that Alkali has to be up towards the top. If they would stop letting the natives go out there all winter long and shoot the bucks then there would be some real monsters out there. But then again that goes for many of the areas in the state.

Post by: 6 Point on July 23, 2008, 08:05:03 PM: It is on the wall of the cabin at Detroit I will try and find a pic of it around here later in the week. I think I have some of it on the ground.
