I think you guys may be reading into my message wrong. Not insulting anyone, just simply stating the facts. The guy shoots a 357 round that he custom loads. The cartridge is about 3 inches long. He has a 100yd and 200yd gun. He's extremely accurate at both yardages. There's video of the shot, the animal going down twice, and then turning and going towards the refuge but through a timber patch that has no fence or signage behind it to mark the property line. The guy who blocked the road the day before was acting like a fool telling some old guy he wasn't going to move because he was watching some elk, but it was a county road and he had no right to do that. The old guy is a friend of the land owner and want too happy. The guy had the outfitter info in the window of his truck, so he took it upon himself to call the authorities and tell them what he thought was going on. Like I said, from there, it was all by the books, minus the slip up on crossing the unmarked line. The bull was shot well within the private proprty. The feds wouldn't look at the video and didn't care about the recovery of the animal, and unfortunately the local authorities didn't have much to do with it since they were trumped in the situation. No permission was being given to go try and recover the bull. It has been in the past, but not this time!

I really hope this helps people out. Regardless of past issues or your personal take on the outfitter, this is far from what everyone speculated.

As for the question, who am I? I'm a nobody. I'm just the guy with the facts, about this incedent, who loves killing elk and deer with his bow.

Don't forget guys, innocent until proven guilty!

This is a great post...thanks for sharing

Well back on track talked with land owner, outfitter will not be back next year so if there was no issues and everything was hunky dory don't you think the land owner would keep collecting the $50000
Just my 

$50,000 
I am sure he will have someone pick up the tab.
Definitely some nice critters on the property, even if the elk are not Roosevelt's...

Who is the land owner?

Sorry I'm not posting it, it's easy enough to find it online

$50,000?  I assume that is not per year, my guess is a 5 or 10 year lease.  You would have to sell a lot of hunts to make enough to pay $50,000 a year to hunt that land.

Not long at all at these prices!

That is a lot of money for an elk in Washington.

So, what does Miriam do for $900 on the One on One?

Wow! Expensive.  Still you would have to do quite a few of those to pay for it and I am just not sure there is that much of a market for it.

So was it a yearly lease for $50,000 a year, was it a multi year lease at $50,000 a year or multiple years for $50,000 total.

Just trying to figure out how many guys it would take to go in on something like this and make it worth your money.

Where can you find Roosevelt's on the east slope of Cascades? Is this a western boundary of Mt. Adams?

This is so funny.  If people don't think this is funny, they can just leave

No game in that country is worth those prices!
