I'd like to say congrats to the hunter but without pics I'm hard pressed on that.  :tup: Care to send me a PM? If anything a PM of what unit he was allegedly killed in?  If you're right on the unit then I'm more inclined to believe the story.  :sry:

Idahohuntr gets it.  :tup:
He does get it. To my point, the OP asked if anyone knew anything about the deer and MtnMuley said the buck was dead. That's all he said. Then all the hubbub started. Did MtnMuley ever say he had pics that he wasn't going to share? He simply said the buck is dead.

I'm done with this.

Tip for all reading this: answer your PM's.

The only one I seeing stirring up stuff now are you two.  Why post Idahohunter.  Most had moved on, you could have easily let it die?  Same theory that you are supposedly speaking about.... and then there is Bobcat still trying to get the last word in.  I thought he said he was done. LOL

Mtnmuley knows what he is talking about! He dont post pics and I'm sure not going to blame him for that. 

The buck is dead!

You guys hear about that two point being shot? :chuckle:

Seems to me the issue is not whether a picture was posted/not posted.  I see occassional posts where members talk about having photos, which they won't be posting.  The not posting - I completely understand - I do not post harvest photos anymore either.  However, if you are not willing to share a photo - or do not have permission to share a photo - why announce to the world you have this information?  Why not just stay silent? Even if someone asks about whether a particular animal has been harvested?  Is it to prove to others you are in the cool kids club?  Thats how I interpret some of the dialouge I see.  I have a photo.  I'm not going to share that photo.  But I want you to know I have the photo.  :dunno:

very interesting take on things, not one I share though.

mtnmulie did the OP a favor by letting him know that the buck was dead and no longer available for fair chase, then got called to the carpet for doing him a favor. 

Which is worse?

1) letting another hunter continue to obsess over a dead buck you know for sure is dead or;
2) letting the guy know it's dead, but sorry can't show you a picture or divulge information about it because it's not mine to show or tell about?



I think what people aren't grasping is some hunters tend to fixate on a target chasing it for years, they name the buck like steelie did here.   Those kind of hunters need to know if "their" buck is gone.  I suspect mtnmulie understood this as he too chases large trophy bucks and probably targets certain ones.  In his mind he was doing the OP a solid, then got lambasted for it. 

1st time shame on you, 2nd time shame on me!  unfortunately mtnmulie (and others reading this fiasco) have learned the hard way not to help out a fellow trophy chasers and letting them know a certain buck is gone - and that's what I find sad about this whole deal.

Great points KF.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Pics or it didn't happen... :rolleyes:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

This thread is hilarious.  It goes from inquisitive, to serious, to humorous, back to serious.

Kind of like the Bigfoot thread, just not quite as stupid...yet  :chuckle:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
