Letter to Raffle Tag REPOSTED!!!!!

[nwhunter]

I dont know either parties but I do know that this is a low blow accusation to put on the web whether true or not. Basically saying someone is a possible poacher and waster is a harsh accusation and might backfire on you as slander. Everyone has different styles of hunting right or wrong and we can make judgement in our minds or with buddies but I dont support this type of slander online, and again I dont know either guys. nwhunter

Sounds like this guy needs to be kicked *censored* if it was in fact him. But I'm curious to know how you know for certain that Mr. Raffle tag guy was the one that shot the bull?

I live here in Walla Walla small twon word travles. Also there are lots of pictures of him all over the internet....

Never said he was a poacher. He was legal. Just a bad sportsman. I just added to make sure there is not confusion about that. I had no intention of calling OR making this man out to be a poacher. He was COMPLETLY LEGAL!!!!

sounds like a story I'd like to hear both sides of

Ya that, 

What other side is there? Legally he did nothing wrong. But why lie to a fellow hunter?

What I meant was I'd like to know the entirety of events that transpired.  Of course I never will know it all so what I meant practically is to get more info.  Saying they were bear hunting is dishonest sure but I don't usually open up to strangers in the woods.

If I were hiking back from a deer stand and someone asked what I was after, I'd probably be vague and not say, "oh the biggest whitetail buck I found scouting."  Holding a raffle tag, I probably wouldn't talk about it either.  Not saying I would take the same approach.

Maybe you didnt call him a poacher yourself but your post refers to statements by others and pictures of an elk with the head cut off and meat left that in the field that you said probably went bad in the heat . That to me is enough of an accusation that would make most people pretty mad when in the end everything obviously checked out with wdfw or he would have got nailed I assume, and no doubt we would have heard about that. Just seems like a cheap thing to say on the web 3 months after the fact.

Maybe the raffle hunter didnt know you make all the rules and he's not a real hunter. You should post all the ethics and rules so everyone can scramble to get in line with your way of thinking. After all.....you are the only one here with an opinion that matters

[huntnphool]

Where is the original post?

[h20hunter]

OP deleted it.

[washingtonmuley]

If you are going to delete the original post then the whole topic should be deleted. It doesn't make sense if you don't have the original post. It should have stayed up.

[jackelope]

I don't think we'll be deleting this. 
If you're going to post something on here, you should be prepared to deal with however it goes.
 

If the boss man has another opinion, then he can change my mind for me.

[fastdam]

Maybe he cant defend his position.

[blackveltbowhunter]

  Aside from being dishonest about who he was. Its mostly circumstantial evidence. We dont know for sure the meat spoiled, or what lengths he took to assure recovery of the meat. Sometimes the best laid plans fall apart, that doesnt mean anyone failed or was negligent.

  Personnally, I attempt to live by the motto honesty is the best policy. I don't lie or attempt to decieve other sportsman. I dont offer up info for the most part, but I am honest about what I am hunting and if asked for specifics I dont want to give, I tell them the truth.... I am keeping that info to myself.

OP deleted it.

Make some BS accusations and then remove them, yeah that sounds like a credible story.

Some people are just gonna hate, it's inevitable!

They weren't all be accusations. I was up there when the tag holder shot that bull, and let me tell you it was quite an entertaining 7 or 8 shot s to put that bull down. Now to speak about the weather, it was in the 90s that night and easily in the 100's the next day. Now, idk if that meat was still good, but if it were mine, I wouldn't have eaten it. Let's talk about ethics, you guys are all defending this guy and you weren't even there to see what he did. Let's talk about how mossback and this guy acted when they saw "their" bluecreek bull being toted out by the lucky rifle rut tag holder. Anybody know how they reacted? I sure do and let me tell you, its definitely some of the most unsportsmanlike conduct I have ever seen. I think what Cory is getting at is basically this tag holder, is a straight up *censored*. Well that's my 2 cents, flamw on.
