Anyone else see this?

I wasn't going to bring mule deer up. I was curious if u went to his seminar. It was just a question. But no not drunk. Not drinking.

Nope. Sold my bow a couple of years ago. Could care less about shooting bulls. I’m not a seminar guy anyway.

I’d explain it to you but it would almost certainly be lost.

Explain to me how you joined in October and have 18,000 some posts.............

I drove by Liberty last night. Pretty cool it came from the same herd that wanders through my yard. That crowning is pretty common. Somewhere I have some trail cam pics from a few years ago when a buddy had the archery bull tag. Definitely some monsters out there. I've held a set of sheds that scored almost 400" without any width.

Here are a few much smaller ones. That light is my neighbors. My house is behind the cam.

Everyone is wondering.

No we are not. We definitely know.

Just for fun searched youtube to see what Colockum videos there are, I think these 3 summarize the area well:

Lots of elk in a concentrated area

Big bulls most will never get to shoot

Lots of irresponsible hunter behavior, I've heard shooting that was dozens of shots in a row from multiple guns, when there's lots of cow tags that start the 5th day of the season.

It's funny how guys will shoot monster whitetails from treestands in farm country and no one questions if they're legit, but if a bull is shot in proximity to civilization somehow it's not.

My first thought was shooting Yellowstone bison as soon as they step out of the park. People can do some strange things to justify their definition of fair chase.

How's the heated yard blind coming along? I imagine there will be some competition for those elk raffle tickets next year.

There's competition every year...

WA has a bonus point system for special draw tags. There is one single rifle bull tag for my unit. With my 15 points I still have a 1/10,000 odds of drawing the tag. The raffles offer a significantly better odds for a modest price

Well, regardless, I'm impressed with the skill it took to get those pictures. Hopefully this year will be your lucky year.

This was a Colockum muzzle loader bull from I think 2018 from the Mission side.

Crazy where it was taken. Damn near "in town"

I hadn't heard where it came from but I bet I could guess pretty close from the background. Had some pictures from a couple years ago of a bull hanging out in someone's shed, laying in the hay with a German shepherd, can't find them though.

I am guessing @TheJason is a keyboard warrior rather than an actual hunter. How else could someone get that many posts in just a couple of months - a couple of months of hunting season, at that.

@Potsie, what do you think?

 

[Mtrimble]

86 bulls killed in 43 years. Two bulls per year average. Based on reading this forum for many years, it seems that even drawing two tags per year is a great achievement

 

[lastlight]

How much will that bull shrink during the drying period? mtmuley

About as much as I shrink jumping in the ocean, 6-7 inches.

What in the actual F!!! Beyond pathetic… unless it’s a hack job trick? There’s no way 300 post a day average

 

[ismith]

I hope some day to kill something big enough to get all you guys this wound up. I really wish it would quit snowing so I can go hunting

Bring a sack of cash over here to Montana and I'll take you on a trophy yard deer hunt. Probably the best mule deer hunting in Montana.

And there it is. Jls is prophetic

Washington boys are just happy we are talking about their state instead of how to keep them out of ours.
