Elk Hunting / Re: Your Idea of the perfect bull elk

If you ever visit Cabelas in Lehi Utah, go look at the spider bull. It’s impressive, BUT, turn 180 and look at the giant 402” 6x6. Way more impressive IMO. 60” beams and long points.

My preference is for symmetrical typicals, but I will shoot anything if it’s big on a good tag and anything on a general tag.

A mature 5 with a nice big spread is my dream bull.

I’m getting old and fat. I should have put one that’s in the freezer, not six miles still in.  :chuckle:

My answer depends on unit and season. Catch me in central wa in September with a general tag and that spike sure looks amazing.

In an any bull unit, I like a clean 6 with nice long fronts, good whale tales and ivory tips

Im non-discriminatory  :chuckle: whichever one is in my line of site is good enough! Something about a heavy long tined 6 though that makes the heart beat.

Trapping / Re: “Recreational trappers”?

Reading Humptulips post, which I take he forwarded from WDFW about sample collection.
They adderess us as Recreational trappers. And sign off with a Recreational trappers contact addy.
Since when is trapping in Washington labeled as recreational?
A trapping license is a commercial license. Same as commercial fishing or taxidermy.
Even though some trappers may trap for other reasons, trapping as a whole is a commercial activity.
To label trapping as recreational belittles the trade, and makes us vulnerable to having trapping taken away as they will label it as sport.

Trying to look at this from an anti-hunting commissioner standpoint, perhaps they want to label trappers as recreational so it casts an unnecessary aura regarding trapping, therefore easier to justify eliminating trapping totally one day!

I love good symmetry on a bull.

For Rockies, I'm hoping to one day shoot a nice typical 7x7.

For Roosevelts, my perfect bull elk has black horns and ivory tips and it would be great if he was a 5x5 or 6x6. I am probably hunting in the wrong areas. I have seen two in my days- one where it was two dark to count three points (and his dark horns didn't help) and so I shot a smaller, light colored antlered bull in the same herd. Then the dark one hung around to rub it in that he was legal and my dream bull. And another bull that should have been on my wall but my muzzleloader failed to go off not once, but twice.

I shot a Rocky Mountain this year that would have been darn near perfection, but his main beam was snapped off after his fourth on one side.
