What is Best Unit for Harvesting a Trophy Muley?
« 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.

Passion you're killing me!!!

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

Interesting voting so far, either I missed one or two prime units or people are voting "other" to keep hunters from their units. :dunno:

Yeah you did miss quite a few. What about Chewuch, Chiliwist, Chiwawa, Pogue, Slide Ridge, etc...

" 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

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.

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:

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.

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.
