How about all of the whitetails back east....the majority are from bait piles and food plots right?  :chuckle:

Wow! Everyone just loves to be right and obviously the most hardcore ethical hunters around.  Maybe not your idea of hunting,  not mine either but if given that opportunity on that bull I doubt anyone here who has commented would even think twice about taking the shot. How about lets just say congrats on a successful hunt and a trophy of a lifetime.  I'd share pictures of a few other bulls they have harvested over the past couple days but I'm sure we'd all hear how they should have passed on such raghorn bulls. Some people in this state that call themselves hunters really need a reality check.

I don't have a problem with it. I'd happily take that bull over a pile of apples!

I'd bait that bull all day every day. I'd kill it with with a recurve, compound,  cross bow, muzzy, rifle,  stick and rock, scissors, etc. You get my point. And I'd be damn proud of that bull.
How It was killed means nothing to me. We all wake up and lace up our boots and tie our string bikinis on one string at a time like everybody else  :chuckle:. Hunt your style and be happy to be out there! Legal hunt is a proud hunt!

Some people are going to tear down this bull and the hunt because they don't like one guy involved. Others don't agree with bait and will tear down the bull and hunt for that reason.

In reality, I have to congratulate anyone who uses legal means to take an animal, especially one like that. It is a known fact that some of the best hunting in Washington and in most other states is in close proximity to populated areas. Bait was possibly the most reasonable and effective method to legally hunt for that bull in a mix of small property ownership. A big old bull like that needs to be taken out of the herd rather than die needlessly by the bumper of a Mac truck and likely never be recognized for the awesome animal that it is.

If this bull was taken legally, kudos to the hunter for taking a bull that almost every hunter in Washington would die for. Even though some people may not like everyone involved, I don't see a logical reason to discount or belittle the hunter, the bull, or the hunt. It really sounds to me like the most effective hunting method for that area was utilized for the hunt.

Another Thought:
If baiting was outlawed, I can see how opportunities to hunt animals in populated areas where they really need to be harvested and populations reduced, will be diminished.  :twocents:

That's the best argument right there, for baiting to remain legal. Without that method of hunting, a lot of these smaller parcels of private land in populated areas would be un-huntable.

Look at all that prime elk meat that somebody gets to enjoy now instead of it just being wasted when that bull dies of old age.
