I had no idea baiting Elk was legal in Washington (or any western state - maybe others too?). Not even trying to diminish this particular hunt, it's a long and seemingly complex saga, I just had a preconceived notion in my head that baiting Elk essentially didn't occur. How naive of me.

I remember when they changed the law from being illegal to legal to shoot across a road, for the purposes of hunting. Interesting state sometimes.

Same...I had a jaw drop moment when I read that part.

Washington can’t even produce a good hunt story.

Yard bull...yeah, whatever.

The real story is pretty darn close to everything I'd read when the story first broke. Impressive elk, unimpressive hunt

I agree the story blows...that bull is something else though. Hard to even comprehend it unless you put hands on it I bet.

If not for him the story would've really been slow.

Hopefully we get a follow up with some photos when he's presented with his replica sheds!
