Elk Rumors

He still lives there.

I know what would make this all better, If the guides that helped Agnew kill that bull would help me out with my bull permit and help me find my 400 bull for free! Just to experiance a guy with no money that has the determination and drive to kill a big bull with my bow! So, what do ya think 

Well , I thought it was worth a try

Why not Charlie!

Wow all it takes is to kill a monster bull in Washington to turn this site into MM huh?
watch out they'll start calling us Washingturds!

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

not sure but i have hunted the walla walla area since i was 12 and i have seen several 400 plus sized elk there......would supprise me at all........


there is a reason why they only give a couple tags there a year...........

HUGE BULLS!

The bear baiting is same thing. I don't believe in outfitters and/or guides. I am a firm believer in DIY hunting. Guides used only when needed by law, i.e. Alaska grizz, Dall Sheep, etc... I think what these guys are obviously getting at is though everything may have been legal, you can hardly call the shooter a "hunter." Just because something is legal doesn't it make it right. This issue is kind of on the fence with me. The money did go to our *censored*ty game department. That's good of course. But the way the bull was taken kinda sucks. People watching him every day just for some rich guy to come in and shoot it seems, in a word, pathetic.

Something to remember is that there are many bulls in the area over 400. It's just a matter of time before another big'gun is killed.

M_ray,

I believe that would be Washingtards!

All kidding aside, I hope like heck that the raffle tag holder was in no way prevented from getting this monster for any reason.  Just my thoughts.

I have no problem with this hunt for one reason it is like a guided hunt. Like some Alaska hunts you fly in and get on a boat go into a inlet looking for a bear that is there on shore get off your boat walk a little and shoot it. I realise that not all hunting is like this but some are. IMO

The situation sucks for those of us without the resources to have this opportunity. 
I dont like the fact that this rich guy can fly around in his private jet and have guys waiting to take him to monster bulls but it is what it is and we arent going to change that.
I actually have more of a problem with the guys that babysat this bull until they could sell him out.

On monday I am going elk hunting with a friend.  I don't have a tag, all I plan on doing is calling for him.  He said that he would buy my gas.  If I call a bull in for him and he kills it are you guys going to get pissed about that.

[MountainWalk]

I dont know all the facts really, so I can't say too much. Some folks say, well it's not fair because he is using a guy to "babysit" the elk. The way I figure it, the babysitter doesnt have too much of a say where the bull goes or doesnt go. The "hunter" still has to hike, still has to obey the wind, make a stalk, and combat his nerves. I don't really care one way or the other. If the guy just wanted to kill a big bull, he could have went to a game farm for far cheaper. Sour grapes makes for poor tasting whine.

BigShooter-little different scenario I'd say. Just a little.

[wf70gonehunting]

Man this post has way to much drama

[scoyoc5]

I agree..waaaaay to much drama. Let it be people.

[ThePascoKid]

big difference between this guys hunt and a hunt on a game farm, he wouldn't be able to look at his name in the record books and feed his ego if he kills a huge bull at a game farm.

[Bigshooter]

BigShooter-little different scenario I'd say. Just a little.

What if it scores over 400?


Only difference I see is the price.

[Caseyd]

Well now you are just stirring the pot. Why bother, some will say yes and some will say no!!

Yes you are right about the price!!
