Elk Rumors

[tlbradford]

Plague, before you condemn this forum, maybe you should take the time to read through some of the other topics. 

This and the wolves issue are probably the two biggest "hot button" topics on the site. 

I hear you asking for respect from all those with differing opinions, but I don't see you giving any out.  You came to this site why?  To defend this one particular hunt?  If you don't care what is being said here, then why bother to post in the first place? 

I am just wondering if you are going to be a long term contributor willing to share stories and experiences, or just someone who is going to drop in here, and lump everyone on this site as a lesser class of hunter because we aren't a high profile guide such as yourself?

I hope all new member to the site, not just you, would take an hour or so to read some of the post from the past year and a half, and realize that this is a great community, even if 1500+ people can't always agree on everything.

This wouldn't even be a negative issue if the guy was not wealthy and if the animal was not a trophy. If it was just some 5x5 elk nobody would say a thing. I think that if people wanted a fair chance at the bull they would not have showed off the sheds ever. . As far as arriving in aircraft is concerned I have no real details to base any negative opinion on. Other than to say that I fly places all the time and I don't believe it is too unethical unless I am spotting my target or targets from the air or if someone else is doing it for me in that manner.

I agree that plague is starting off on the wrong foot and that he is probably only instigating a never ending feud.

I think we should bury it and move on before this get out of hand. This is the first since I have been a member that I feel a MM attitute here. I have to admit I was lulled into playing the battle and I should have kept my opinions to myself. It will serve no purpose to continue the smart ass remarks and bickering. We should all agree that this is going no where and fast.

I think that you're right.
