WA State General Rifle Spike bull season...Bull down!

Postby MAVinWA » 02 04, 2022 •  [Post 1]

hello EV1,

Just sharing my 2021 WA ST General Rifle elk season, spike bull only tag, and fortunate to put down a nice spike on opening day.
Was camped, scouting for 5 days prior. Due to a severe forest fire that burned my usual hunt areas for the past 45 years. So, I ventured to my unit's other areas, along the fire boundaries where some land was still open by DNR, State for elk hunting.
Hadn't hunted this area outside the closed fire boundary since mid-1970's, but familiar with terrain, drainages.

Video has footage of the shot on elk, be advised if watching with your little ones.

Hey MAV thanks for the great video. I'm quite familiar with where you killed that elk. The Bethel unit was our stomping grounds for many years during general elk. Usually hunting across the Little Rattlesnake on Cowpuncher Ridge and such. I killed my first elk there. My Dad drew the bull tag for Bethel some years ago and killed his first elk as well, not far from where I think you were. We haven't hunted there in many years now since we started hunting out of state more. I have a young son coming up in the ranks though, so I expect that we will be back in there at some point. Thanks again for sharing!

I hunt therefore I am. I fish therefore I lie.
