POTENTIAL NEW WORLD RECORD ELK?

[sp6x6]

A 350 bull isn't even remotely in the class of 400.I have dozen friends or aquantience with a 350, not so on 400.Add 100 to that, use to be almost unheard of

I can see both sides. Personally if a hunter came forth with a special tag like that and said that he had pursued it for 2 months and ended up having to take it on private wintering grounds, over bait or whatever, that's just the way the cookie crumbles. Nothing away from the hunt or the hunter. 100% of us would do the same thing. I think it's the unknown, details left out, or the potential shady perspective most people perceive of the story that is upsetting people.

Bull elk are lottery and gov tags only in this area. There are monster bull elk all over around here because they're mostly safe, especially on private land. I had a giant and 3 decent 6x6 eating hay with my horses this morning. They're in everyone's yard, field, pasture because they live here too. Public land borders most of our property around here as well.

Sounds like its the spot to be for big bulls
Usually the govt gets involved and ruins it
So enjoy it while it lasts

Yeah I'm on the west side if you. Buddies dad had a tag for ellensburg area last year and got a great bull. Only benefit if you do tag is there's some quality animals out there for the taking. Kind of like specific late season units for bucks as well.

Like you mentioned I think they save the best ones for the most money paid
