My buddy saw this in Goldendale Thursday

[h2ofowlr]

If he lives in Washington, he should know the ranges, differences and the term benchleg, which he never used... 

[Rainier10]

I always stand "untied" with my fellow hunters.

 

Also, I had to wonder what is a "free blooded" American?

I think he is being redundant, "free blooded" and "untied" are basically the same thing.

I talked to a room cleaner there who said he defiantly was pursuing black tail.

I had to go on the *censored* page and comment, wonder how long before I get blocked and my comment removed... Blatant misrepresentation seems to be a profitable marketing strategy...

Doubt there's a large herd in Goldendale.

[haugenna]

In his video at 1:58 he says, " I brought attention to a mule deer buck and tries to correct it as a black tail buck."

I am confusing jimmy burnworth with jimmy bigtime.

[Curly]

Did he show a pic of the tail? If he had a tail pic that might help his case, but even if the tail looked 100% blacktail, you can still be sure that there is muley in the lines.

That *censored* outfit is a real piece of work.  Blatant misrepresentation is about right, and featured right at the top of their Facebook page.   

Burnwood claims he can smell the difference between a blacktail and a mule deer in his "damage control" video clip. I'm skeptical.  But what I am not the least bit skeptical of, at this point, is that our rat sniffers are working quite well and we smell a rat.  Obviously rats like company, seems the further we look into this we have sniffed out a rat nest.

For some reason I'm having a hard time getting upset about this.  I was more upset when I found out that Bruce Willis was dead in the Sixth Sense...that was a lot better television too. Is this really a big deal?  I've never heard a hunting or fishing story that wasn't at least 25% made up.

[GoldenOscar]

People have been back and forth on the deer in the Goldendale area for a long time, is it a Blacktail or a Mule deer or a benchleg?......who cares?

If he had a valid tag, It was in season,  He can afford a guide then good for him.   
(Did he say he was entering it in the record books?)

 Be happy Jim brought some extra revenue to the area, He seems to be a better representative for the hunting community than a lot of people on TV.....

Is it also OK with you if he went to AK or the Yukon and bagged a trophy moose then hung it on his wall and in future years claimed it was taken in the Mt Spokane area.  He isn't breaking any laws, has a valid tag and brought revenue to a rural community and probably would also interest others in spending money hunting in the Mt Spokane area.  Is this OK?

OK, so what if he takes a 1968 Mustang and cobbles together a Shelby GT500 KR?  So long as he is doing it for his own enjoyment... I don't have any problem what he tells people, BUT if he tries to sell it then he has crossed the line.  If he tries to sell video of it as the genuine article....  Once the thing in question has been monetized, you are 100% on the hook.  That deer was monetized the minute both the hunter who makes his living, and the guide who makes their living, off of it misrepresented it they were guilty of fraud.

I almost agree.  If you watch many of these "shows" you can call BS on them often.  They mostly lie by omission--(PS it was shot over apples on a ranch).  But most real hunters notice the inconsistencies.  It's reality TV and full of bull (no pun) just like we know Axemen is full of it.  Where he went overboard was repeating and stressing that this deer was a blacktail, when everyone knows they are mixed, just like those monster "blacktails" from Ca.

does it really matter all that much? tag, deer, bow, December , nice buck regardless of genetics or mixed breeding.

sure, guided, filmed most likely taken on private lands.. I know I cant afford that $$$$ kind of hunting pay to play hunting but it is still great to see these nice animals taken around the country. I enjoy his show but really pass on the local episodes. its very easy to pick them apart, knowing local details. For the avg person across the country, its great media and the good folks of Goldendale will probably benefit from this advertisement. Does anyone really think these shows are anything more than mostly private canned baited hunts?
I would wonder how much money Lee &Tiffany or the Drury's shell out annually to manage, raise, feed and have private filmed hunting adventures that look like there are monster bucks behind every corn stalk? At least Burnworth walks and stalks with a bow (mostly), could be taking pot shots from 3/4 mile away and selling long range shooting, not seeing the 14 out takes and misses....

I think most would give a kidney to be able to walk in those shoes, I know if I could hunt 24/7 all over the world, I would certainly not be on here!!! One positive note, he was quick to retract the spoken location on his facebook page as "coastal" after all this backlash and I know this wont have any effect on those who are so down on him but worth saying.
