[gramps]

I heard a rumor that a private jet landed in Walla Walla  a couple days ago and left today..inbetween, a large bull went down.  Anyone know anything???

Could the 451 be dead? 

[wastickslinger]

I thought he said landed in walla walla, I thought you guys had Mr. 450 tied up some where near 49 North. 

[bucklucky]

OOPS, I forgot

Oh say it isn't so?? I would much rather see some regular old girl chasing whiskey drinking ex con like bucklucky get him! 
Just kidding about the girl chasing ex con thing guy's! I'm not even sure about the whiskey thing but I have a hunch if he got that fat toad he'd gladly drink the ceremonial M_ray bottle of Pendleton with no complaints!

I hope not 

Harvest is over and i think the combines might have been moved to a hanger at the airport to get cleaned and overhauled. Ill call my cousin and see if hes been out at the airport and ask him what he's seen going down. Either way..if he was at the cabin on Twin Buttes or at the airport working im sure he knows of something.....

Ill keep you guys posted ASAP!

A good friend who has seen the pictures said it was the Gov's tag and bull was huge...probably the 451 from last yr.

Wouldn't the gamies know? It really would have been nice for a resident hunter to have put a tag on it though, that sucks it goes to some guy that flies in on a jet just to make a shot and then leaves, its all about money unfortunatly. I wonder what kind of "bonus" the guy that spotted it recieved, I bet he made the call and then didnt let the bull leave his sight until the guy dropped it.

Does anyone know how much that tag generated?

man someone needs to get a picture

Mark ,   !!

If it is dead, theres still more bulls on the mountain , I aint worried. Didnt like the look of that 451 bull anyway, It was only the score that was impresive to me  

By the way , Im just trying to make myself feel better

I would assume there are going to be magazine deals in the works and we will have to wait until it hits the stands, bummer for sure pendoreille

In this context, there's no hunting skill involved in deep pockets, airplanes, and long range shots...may as well be a gopher in my mind.  It reduces the meaning of "hunting" when killing is made into a spectacle sport.  Hunting/trapping/fishing is a way of life, not a sport.  Never liked that term associated with hunting and never will...

Thats Dan's M.O. . This is his style on his White mtn hunts, fly down kill the bull his guides have been watching for 2 months, etc. Would've rather seen Riechert kill it. Oh well, still a hellava bull. "if its true"?
