Big Washington Bull
Found this on another site, i guess the guy who killed it bought the auction tag and killed it in southern washington-Eastside.
Here are some facts:
It is the east side auction permit holder who is a Washington resident and a dedicated conservationist. The gentleman on the left is a local who contacted the guide & hunter about this bull and was integral to the hunt.
The hunter told me it grossed 401 and he is thrilled to death with the bull. As I was going through the link provided there were several comments about the lack of excitement seen in the expressions. I tagged along on a hunt of his in Oregon 3 years ago when he took a California Bighorn that offically netted around 181 (2nd largest ever taken in the state) and all of the pictures I have of him have the same expression. He is excited but must get stage fright when the cameras come out!

No luck with the elk out there on the YTC I think that I covered every square inch of that S.E. corner I like it down there had a good look just no animals I think that they got run off found one heavly used trail going onto the Hanford area and also checked out the Badger pocket area. Saw 15 mulies some OK bucks but noathing great. Got me ready for next weekend though. Seems like someone bags a monster in this state every year.. I have seen that look in the pictures on a brown bear hunt that i was on kind of a wired thing killing a lifes dream.
