No Tell Ridge Elk
« on: November 08, 2008, 05:55:51 PM »
Posting this for a friend. Not a member and doesn't own a computer. He is the Chief Butcher at Fred Meyers. John gets an Elk almost every year but this is the first whopper for him. He has been grinning for 3 weeks now.  I am posting 2 pics of his Prize.

AH HAA, I seen that guy on his NOT so secret "No Tell Em' Ridge" walking day in and day out "ROAD" hunting from the trail :IBCOOL: does the term "Ridge Runner" sound familiar?

NO Fair Chase, NO Ethics, NO Morals...but he got his bull right? And good to him, let him have it but he never left the ridge and for the right dollar amount I'll tell you where the "No Tell Em' Ridge" is.

In my opinion though, I seen him on the ridge and talked to him...NO Fair Chase as five were in his party covering a one mile section of ridge; they have no sporting ethics. But he got his bull right? :twocents:


So how do you equate walking a trail with road hunting? How is that not fair chase?

banging on a guy for walking a trail day in and day out is pretty harsh and hunting the same ridge day after day with the same friends. I can't beleive that guy how can he call himself a hunter?

I guess You need to clearify yourself Pend. If I knew where there was a big bull I wanted in a place you bet I would go everyday til I got him.. And not everyone has the strength or ability to hit the hills hard all the time. Why knock him for ridge running? I know some people who just like to be out there.

Some people just never have a single good thing to say.

He's walking and hunting in an area where anyone can hunt, there are no "fences" and he got a public land bull. Good on him!

Pend, suck it up buttercup.

Well I understand your frustration. Some people do indeed think they own the public land. It is a first come basis and if bullying tactics are used there is no room for that in hunting. I am not going to say you are right or wrong without hearing both sides. Reguardless its a nice elk.

I don't think you have an idea what you are talking about. John hunts in the Nile Unit 352 and he drew a Goose Prairie "A" tag this year. He doesn't hunt with horses and never has hunted anywhere near the Margaret unit or the Goat trail. He and his partners pack in by foot and hunt hard every year. This was his first ever Bull Tag. I believe Mr. PendOreilleArcher owes my friend and the members of this site an apology. I hope he engages brain before his mouth in the future.

If the hunter was seen breaking the law, then the "witness" should have reported it immediately.  The claims of PendOreilleArcher are pretty strong.  And why was he up there keeping tabs on this guy day after day?

PendOreilleArcher, If you're going to make statements against somebody's character, you'd better be prepared to back it up!  If you can, let's hear it.  If you can't, then please find another site to infect with your destructive comments.

I call that smart hunting.  Hunt the area you know holds animals until you find the one  you want.  Road is just that a road, and equating a trail to a road is odd.  Awesome bull and taken on public ground is even better.   KB did you mean "A" tag?

I stand corrected dbllunger, it is the Goose Prairie "A" for 352 & 356 Neither which anywhere near the Margaret Unit

I agree with billy,I can walk through my house at night pitch black,some of the areas I go into I can damn near do that also.just like the critters, no your area,I will circle a small area for  days,forgive me but thats a great bull sounds like he earned it,envy looks good on no one
