The only way you will see him is if you have a cow tag in your pocket... :)

Hmmmmmm! Looks a little weak on the twos. But I think I'd still hunt the whole season looking for him. LOL!

As I look at the bull, the twos look pretty normal, at least for the area I hunt. It is the remainder of the beast that is just super-sized.

I dont think they can hunt on a nuclear reservation any more than we can, but I could be wrong....

Somebody with a lot of money or a poacher will somehow get that bull. What a toad! If it's on a Indian reservation, it won't be me. My last name is Custer. :o

It wouldn't surprise me. They've had a handful of nice bulls out there over the years......

I know what the law says but history proves that nothing will happen to them if they are caught. Hence why they kill bulls in that area every year. My indian neighbor (who loves to brag about hunting any unit he wants in the state and killing multiple bulls) showed me a picture of a bull killed by his cousin there back in 2009. If the bull doesn't score 420"+ I would be shocked. I have never seen a bull with a taller rack or wider spread. He claims is scored nearly 500" but there's no way.

Indians in our state can hunt any unit they choose (special permit or not) starting August 1st with any weapon. No joke. They normally have a few rules to follow from their given tribes like only being able to kill 2-3 bulls each or not being able to hunt if their wives are pregnant. The reality is that if they are caught doing something illegal WA F&G has no authority over them and they are turned over to their tribes. The result of that is a slap on the wrist.

Wonder if he glows when the sun goes down! :-) I have a buddy that hit one of those Hanford toads with his Dodge. Ram tough but not elk tough. :lol:
