[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

No game in that country is worth those prices! 

Not even a 100% success rate on 300"+ Roosevelt bulls?

THE premier Trophy Outfitter for Washington state. with the highest success rate in Washington for Trophy Hunts.
opportunity rate and kill rate at almost 100% in the field. With a passion for the outdoors that separates them from their competitors. Client kills, testimonials, and trophy quality in their photo gallery truly separates them from any other outfitter in Washington State. Don't waste your time booking with a mediocre outfitter when you can hunt with the elite.
Their Trophy Roosevelt Elk hunts are one of their best sellers along with Trophy Black Tail Deer. They have maintained 100% opportunity rate for trophy Roosevelt's bulls in the 300" range and trophy Black Tail Deer. They simply produce what other outfitters cant.

So you must know him or  he illegally used your pic?

[bigbeamhunter]

Let's just say that was the one that broke the camels back. So yes on both accounts.
I'm not going to say to much  I just heard about it the other day and was curious what happened and the it blew up.

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

FordTough,in his post describing what he says happened he says that the hunter was shooting a 357 pistol with cartridges about 3 inches long, even the 357 Maximum cartridge is only 2 inches long, so to be 3 inches long it would have to be a one off wildcat loading and a custom pistol. Seems odd to me.

Whatever happens with this it will eventually work its way out somehow. The truth always surfaces..
I have never heard of Conboy so I looked it up. This outfitter is advertising trophy Roosevelts for $15,000. First off who pays that much for a Washington elk hunt? Second the refuge website says the elk there are Rockies. Also per the rule book anything east of I-5 is not a rosie. ( I know this is a much debated subject) but with those two things you are false advertising. Also being a business man and putting yourself out there maybe he should of checked how to spell what he is selling? Its Merriam  not Miriam you idiot.
I am sure If I searched his site I could find more idiocy. Also using a picture of a turkey that is not the species you are selling.
I can only conclude after this that the man is a imbecile and the negative story is probably correct.

[Curly]

I assume the outfitter has access to other areas besides the area around Conboy. Maybe those areas have Roosevelt elk? He does spell Merriam correct in the turkey section of his website......

So, is there an easy way to tell the difference between a Rocky Mountain and a Roosevelt? Or is it just geographic location?    I was always told that all the elk up here were Rocky 

[Bango skank]

This moron needs to find a completely different occupation.  Thats all there is to it.seems to me hes got about as much business playing outfitter as i have playing nba point guard.

[motg9_6]

No rosies just rockies for miles around you might find a rosie to the west several miles

NBA point guard thats a good one!!!

Because they are so genetically similar it really is a matter of geographic location, but common difference is the antler configuration.
There, of course, are exceptions but usually Rockies have the whale-tails while Roosevelts crown on top.
Roosevelts antlers usually are shorter, have more mass, and grow upright, rather than sweeping back towards the rump.
