Find me a bull like that and I will throw some slippers on to kill him

That's a bull of a lifetime congrats to the shooter.

It's an incredible bull and I don't blame the guy for buying tags like this. If I had the money I'd be hunting big bulls in September with a rifle too!

I am just happy to be able to see a bull like that it shows that there are some really nice elk in our state.

I'd shoot that bull as fast as I could get out of the truck and legally off the road. Monster.

Really someone made a dea lout of nothing? Funny how that happens to a non story always someone gota make someting out of nothing.
2008 though is 6 years not five and oh yes I'd shoot that big old stag heck ya doesn't matter the work they did to get it out more than made up for the five minutes out of the truck!

Last Friday my dad and me helped dan and his brother Bob drag out and load Dan's moose he got near colville. Both those guys are way cool and down to earth and really appreciated the help.

He's going to find that eats better than his elk.

Ya he is, he gave me the heart and I can't wait to chew on that at deer camp. Also they wanted to buy us dinner or cut us some steaks off his moose but my old man refused to take anything for helping them. He was kicking himself 5 minutes down the road after he realized he was hungry.

From the comments, hunting is hunting whether it is a game ranch that grows 500+ bull elk or 200+ deer. If all I got to do is walk out and shoot it I guess that is all that counts right? I mean who really wants to spend the time scouting anyway.
Its all good gents.

I guess I missed the part that says this was on a game ranch. So lrh would you shoot a trophy if you spotted it while driving?

I think everyone has different expectations from their hunt and that may likely be influenced by age, physical condition, amount of time available, or other factors. I enjoy remote wilderness hunts, local public land hunts, hunts on privately owned land, and I also see nothing wrong with anyone going to a high fenced ranch if that is what they desire. Different bites for different likes, thank god we still live in a society that allows us all these different choices and thankfully narrow minded individuals haven't managed to narrow the spectrum of opportunity for everyone else.

Always love seeing pics of this bull! Have seen him several times at the sportsmans show and he is even better in person. Stupid big. Congrats on the Moose as well Dan!!

  Personally, I look at fully guided/private land/Mossback type hunts in the exact same way I look at baiting and trailcams. Not the type of hunting I want to do, but if it works for others and they enjoy it I certainly won't oppose it and in most cases would offer my support as well. One thing that does always seem to come from these threads and I find laughable are the comments "if you had the money you would do the same thing". Not even close. If ( in dream land  ) the opportunity to aquire a governor tag ever arose, I would jump on it. How I would hunt with said tag would be exactly the same as I hunt any other OTC public land tag. My health, kids, friends, family, land access, time etc.... MIGHT all be factors in me changing the way I hunt. But the amount of money in my wallet? Not even on the list.
