western extreme..... washington rosie episode

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Apple Bull!

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

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.

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?

   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.

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..
