I lost a bull this year on a quality tag.  How do I contact the original poster to talk about location?

Click on the icon in the black circle, it’s called a pm.

I wouldnt give any idea of location either, if nobody’s responds, that head would be going home w me!  Flame on but no way would I leave that beauty in the woods to be eaten by squirrels.  I really hope the shooter sees this thread and retrieved his/her trophy.

not legal to take dead heads in Washington.

I wonder why law enforcement isn't mentioned.  My guess is the meat was spoiled by the time the carcass was discovered and I am assuming the scavengers are picking the bones.  Maybe this is a poaching attempt and valuable evidence is eroding away or just waiting for another person to find it and take the antlers for money. Is it three hunters checking to see if it is an elk they shot and lost?  Disturbing trend.  I am predicting this post and thread disappearing soon.

The game wardens only confiscate the dead heads if you possess it. I had a Muley dead head and they just said we will take that and that was it. Not sure if that bull would be the same procedure but that would be an injustice leaving that in the woods!

:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I reached out to the guy who found it. The kid I had calling sweats this is the bull I shot at a frontal 11 yards on sept 10. We bumped him early in sept 11 and never saw him again, followed pin prick sized drops of blood for over a mile. Cougar was ahead of us but behind the bull at one point.

Guy who found the bull said he’s a lways from where we shot but georgraphicaly close.

Praying it worked out as I screwed up on the shot, bull was slight quarter twords but I held midline. Should’ve shot for the exit but didn’t
