western extreme..... washington rosie episode

[huntnfmly]

Outdoor channel 6pm just a heads up I'm thinking this might be the episode that they take the Washington muzzy record in Graham

[bobcat]

Thanks. I'll set the DVR to record right now.

[wheels]

not where it was but was on last week good episode

[longwalker]

Grahm huh? Yeah that's pretty "extreme" must be some good camera work....

[huntnfmly]

Thanks wheels i was just going by the title i know the one in graham is coming up sometime

[CAMPMEAT]

I just watched it. It seemed pretty good. Then I looked them up and found out that the outfitter isn't very well liked on here....

[huntnfmly]

I remember seeing the pics of the Graham hunt and looking forward to watching that episode whenever it's on.Yes there a few that don't like the outfitter I remember when that first started

[PolarBear]

The bull that was shot practically in someone's pasture?

[huntnfmly]

That's the one would just like to see it on video before it was shot

[CAMPMEAT]

When I lived in Graham near Kapowsin, I'd see elk all over in fields.

[Dan-o]

The bull that was shot practically in someone's pasture?

Is that a problem?

Those elk go all over, and are as free ranging as any elk on earth.   Fair chase is fair chase.

I'd shoot that bull in a filed, if I had permission to hunt the field.

Just sayin'.

I live not real far from that pasture and I wouldn't , like I said grahms pretty darn " extreme" I'm actually surprised they would do an episode on it

Nothing like wild, free range elk killed in someone's back yard/pasture over a dump truck load of apples.

Extreme!!

[huntnfmly]

They said they were hunting the coast that didn't look like it and I didn't think Shane guided on the coast

[The scout]

pretty extreme. jim just went went down a peg in my book

I have elk in my pasture all the time and have had many really nice bulls but I still refuse to shoot one.  To me it is not much different than shooting one of my cows.  I have enough neighbors who just ride out on their tractors or quads and shoot bulls from them.  No thanks.

I see nothing wrong with hunting elk wherever it's legal. If they're in an area of small farms mixed with residential areas, so what?

You've got to hunt elk where they are, and somebody's got to hunt these elk that Shane Barbour is targeting. So what if it's not a physically demanding hunt? Meat's meat, right? I would hunt elk there if I had access to some of that private land.

I'm actually watching the show right now, and yes they are hunting with Shane Barbour. Well, actually Shane wasn't there during the hunt. After she killed the bull they said "we need to call Shane." Seemed kind of odd for a guided hunt.

Also I'm confused why at the beginning of the show they said they were "hunting on the Roosevelt side of I-5." They had to be on the east side of I-5, correct?

[JimmyHoffa]

I agree bobcat, but also agree with the other posts about the labeling.  I'm cool with the hunt, but extreme?

[bobcat]

That's just the title of the show. Did they actually say this particular hunt was "extreme?" If so, I missed that.

[CAMPMEAT]

They said they were hunting the coast that didn't look like it and I didn't think Shane guided on the coast

I thought they were hunting on the coast too. But when I saw that they were going to the " Church " food pantry and it had a (360) 893-0000 number on the building, I said to myself, that's a Graham prefix........893 

[longwalker]

anything west of the cascades is "the coast" to anyone in eastern Washington,Idaho or Montana. if im not mistaken the western extreme boys are from Montana, so they probably thought they were on the coast   

[lamrith]

360 covers a large area all over...

Anyone notice the range they were at when testing out the there muzzy's for his wife..  Was here in Pierce County, closest one to Graham that is open to the public I believe..  If they were out on the coast ala Hwy 101, then there are ranges down there closer to that area, Evergreen, etc..

The Western Extreme guys are from Spokane. Burnsworth and Bunney. Bunny owns the RNR chain of RV sales over here. I don't know what Burnsworth does.

[huntnfmly]

They were sighting in at the Tacoma Sportsmans club

[vandeman17]

Just watched it and almost dozed off watching it. Half was just shooting and talking about donating meat. The hunt itself was a snooze fest too. To each their own but not for me 

[haugenna]

The bull his wife shot is the Barbour bull?

[grundy53]

I wonder why they didn't have Shane on camera.

[The scout]

I thought they did, when they were talking about donating the meat and at the end when they were sitting next to the bull maybe that wasn't him

[vandeman17]

I am pretty sure that was him there too. It was Jim, his wife, his son and Shane

[haugenna]

Did anybody notice how bad his flinch was when he shot the muzzleloader off the bench. He then said after that, he didn't like that gun, it didn't group very well. I watched it in slow motion. I bet the muzzle dropped 2" before the cap went off.

[bobcat]

I didn't notice the flinch but I'm not surprised- they were using 150 grains of powder! 

Shane was on film quite a bit, but never said a word. Seems he'd be wanting to talk a little and try to promote his business.

[Rainier10]

Watched it last night, pretty easy hunt but hey that is where the elk were so that is where you have to kill them.  I can't believe she passed the slam dunk first bull hoping the bigger one would come in.

My wife noticed the flinch before me.  Had it on DVR so I went back and watched it in slow mo, it was really obvious then.  150 grains is a lot and I am sure it was kicking hard.

[bigbeamhunter]

As i read this post I wonder how many people would have shot this bull. I would say 99.9 percent would have me included, But here is how I feel about it. I would not be as proud of that bull no matter how big it was its just meat. I would be more proud of a raghorn with an attitude that i called in, for me its about the memories.

[huntnfmly]

I would shoot it and be proud with no problem. You hunt elk where they are at. Almost everyone on here would hunt private property if possible. I really don't think it takes away from the animal

[CAMPMEAT]

It took me 10 years and I bet, $10,000 to get my 6x5.

[Jharristealth]

The actual episode with the Barbour bull shot by the drag race pro aired tonight.  ( I think it was the first run) Pretty much a long bowtech commercial with a short segment at the end featuring the Rosie hunt. Impressive bull, but they did not show a lot on it.

[dreamunelk]

Apple Bull!

[huntnnw]

Elitest mentality by some on here, but yet dont harvest anything for years

I see nothing wrong with it..it is what is for that area. Hell we get elk in the fields around here and I would take one in a heartbeat if given the opportunity, which has never happened..hunting season rolls around they get smart

[highside74]

Not much to show because there wasn't much to film. That farm is surrounded by all private land that no one is allowed to hunt. That farm has been protected by the elderly owner for as long as I can remember. $5000 offer for that bull changed that tune. So they walked across a field and climbed a tree stand. No need for apples on this farm. They feed in her hay fields like clock work.  One of the neighbors is a bow hunter and could have shot that bull 10 times over but didn't. Awesome bull I saw it at Peters taxidermy getting a full body mount. Scored 386 I believe. Not a true Rosie and I don't know why they kept pushing that. It's closer to the cascade mountain range than I5 but whatever.

   The anti's love to see hunters arguing amongst themselves and putting down ones way of hunting over another. I'm with bobcat. If it's legal, I can't hate.

[CAMPMEAT]

Was this elk hunted near Webster Road ?

[benhuntin]

I would guess 304th and meridian, but somewhere out there for sure.

If you agree or disagree we need to all remember were all part of a group called hunters. The animal activists love it when we start to tear down people in our own group. If you get to hunt where its flat and easy then your one of the lucky ones, if not then your not as lucky I guess. Why does everyone seem to hate guys who have it easier or better hunting than someone else. It seems a lot of guys out there are jealous because some guys have great spot to hunt and others don't. Don't know many guys who wouldn't have shot those big bulls if they were coming into their own leased pastures, why wouldn't you. As long as the hunts are legal and on their leased or owned ground whats it really matter.  I have a 4000 acre lease and we have a ton of deer on it and take mule deer into the 170 class and 150 class whitetail.  The hunting is flat and over agricultural and in timber ground. We also run feeders and have food plots on it. I do this to help out my hunters. If we have kids hunting, elderly, or disabled hunters then I have places to make their hunts easier and more productive. Does that make the hunting unfair and easy. It does compared to guys that hunt Mule deer in the mountains I guess. I guess because a guy has the means and opportunity to hunt these elk in a "easy area" more power to them. Every hunter is different, some like a hard challenging hunt others like a easy hunt to each their own. Doesn't mean one way is right and the other is wrong. If I had elk like that coming on our farm I wouldn't hesitate to harvest one of them either. We are all hunters and need to stick to supporting each other not tearing each other down. Just my opinion and that's it..

Well said! Especially in light of all the negative attention hunting's been getting with the likes of Cecil and dead giraffes popping up on social media sites.

Yes 304th

[Jonathan_S]

I really don't care that they are hunting these elk.

I wouldn't pay to hunt there but I have no issue with them doing it.  I'd rather go DIY in the backcountry and take a raghorn. 

If I lived on that land, I'd probably have a hard time leaving to hunt elsewhere though 

[Jonathan_S]

I don't care about the hunt, the hunters or the guide. My only issue is misrepresenting the animal as being a true Roosevelt by the book when in fact it only qualifies as a Cascade-Roosevelt. The intentions was clear, deception and lies, the rest I could give two hoots about.

This is true.  Might as well take a big bull off the PCT and say it's a coastal bull.
