Wait, did he get a sheep? I forgot about that being apart of the raffle until someone posted the pics of the regs yesterday or day before.

What a raffle that would be to win. Spend the fall chasing bulls bucks and rams. I'm curious about what all the actual facts of the case are but I'm glad he was able to bag himself a sheep too.

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

lord grizzly & kiticaashunter,

Please enlighten us on the context of these supposed phone call(s)

Early on in this thread it was stated that a call was made to WDFW, then a call was received back from WDFW

Now it is sounding like 2 calls were made to WDFW   :dunno:

Were there more than 2 calls made ????

It has been talked about on here before. A call was made to the regional office asking about the legality of shooting that bull in that unit with that tag. The officer told them he was going to check with Olympia. 14 minutes later on the second call they were told they would need to use a bow or muzzleloader to harvest that bull under the circumstances.

It's not just now sounding like two calls happened,  this is what actually happened. Many on here talk about "a call", these are the people that don't the facts of the situation and have wildly speculated about what was discussed.


1. The ? I was asking was the directions (incoming vs outgoing) of the 2 calls.

2. As far as the phone calls....I don't really care WHAT was discussed, TR knew he could not shoot that bull, to even make that 1st call reeks of a poor attempt to twist the rules in his favor...very un-sportsman like, and definitely not the actions of a person who calls himself a "hunter" (To me, He is just a killer)

3. This right here in bold, from you kiticaashunter, has convinced me 100% that Mr. Reichert and/or his crew are 100% guilty of; 
 
a.  Knowing they could not shoot this animal in 334, thus the call. That is SAD!!! For a guy who has hunted/shot many animals in his lifetime, and calls himself a hunter/sportsman. I agree with JDHasty, HOW COULD YOU CALL YOURSELF A HUNTER and expect this scenario to EVER end well?

b. Being the stereotypical wealthy big game shooter, "Money will buy me everything, and in the end whether right or wrong, ethical or not, fair chase or not, I (___________________) will have the animal that I WANTED hanging on my wall" 

c.  Zero respect from TRUE sportsman who actually hunt



I personally would rather be remembered for being a good guy, not one who twisted things around to get his way, those are the actions of a spoiled child, not a grown man who is supposed to be a sportsman.  :twocents: :twocents:

That is a pretty good list of slanderous assumptions. You made those statements like you know the facts when in fact you don't have a clue.  Pretty low class to be making statements like these about someone when you don't know the truth.

In the 2016 regs unit 334 is listed under modern firearm for true spike bull. So should the guy that shoots  a spike bull with a rifle in that unit be ticketed because it is actually a firearms restricted area? Should  he have known this is a restricted area even though the regs have it listed for modern firearm?

It's always the hunter's responsibility to know ALL the rules and regulations for the unit he is hunting.

Was that really a serious question?

How can someone be expected to know all the rules when the regs are wrong?

Of course he should. There is even a warning on the page.

Perhaps WDFW should so away with the printed regulations altogether, since no one  bothers to read them anymore.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

interesting. So was that bull described as a branch antler bull in the questions asked of WDFW during the phone calls?

Yes
