This might be a more appropriate screen grab from that movie.  I've lost interest in the truth, at this point.

What a mess. 

If they would have just gone after a different bull.

In the end the only people that are going to be happy are the lawyers.  What a shame.

No kidding. If it was legal I would shoot a buck or bull in an alfalfa field any day of the week. But with that tag, the whole point is the opportunity it gives you. Go chase one!

I thought I previously read he is by definition a handicapped hunter???

I would do the same with or without the tag.  If it would have been in an alfalfa field that was normally open I would have probably done the same as him.  People would have been upset still but it would have been within the rules.  Those people could then change the rules if they didn't like them.

This hunt seems to have gone down the opposite way, change the rules to make the hunt legal and that doesn't sit well with people.

If so it would have no bearing on this case.

[2MANY]

Lots of things seem to have no bearing in this case or the thread.

I only brought it up because it may have had bearing on him just going and chasing one like the previous poster implied he could do.

If he was so set on this bull you would think he could have gotten a landowner damage permit???

I doubt it.

Not likely for a bull.

Not in a GMU closed to the hunting of branch antlered bulls.

Wait.....   Was this bull killed in a GMU that's closed to the hunting of branch antlered bulls?
