Steve Rinella's Quality WA Elk

[Mr Mykiss]

I'm betting this is a tempest in a teapot and that applications for that unit don't go up next year......

There.   You have it in writing.

You can ridicule me next year.... If I'm wrong.

I want a piece of that action!! Archery/Muzzy/Rifle apps combined...more next year than this year. What’s the wager?

  great bulls in that area, lot of folks know it but Steves bull and story still don't make me want to apply for it.

A better question/concern/cause for uprising is that Rinella has been a resident for like 3? years? WAs he buying non-res licenses and applying all these years or was there a TV hunting celebrity conspiracy that allowed him to draw a tag with 3-ish points???

Maybe he just got lucky with 2 or 3 pts? Could easily happen.
My son is 15- will be 16 in December.
He has 7 youth deer points and 7 youth elk points. Couldn't draw a ******* tag for a doe or cow. Yet I know guys with kids who draw every year. **it happens.

Ha ha..... My 25 year old daughter has 14 quality points... lot of not drawn for her.

Ill probably apply for it just to sway the bet on the increase.

If you're serious I'm in.    Loser pays to charity of the winners choice.   I'll go up to $100.

Let me know.

Don't do it, man!

I heard Rinella shot the last mature bull in the unit.

There will likley be an across the board 10%+- increase in all applications due to the robust economy, every state is seeing increases.

Well, that won't help my bet(s)!   

I didn't really think of that.

I still don't think permit apps there will go up compared other units, but I took the bet straight up and will honor either or both offers on the table.

I’ll take that action! I like the charity idea. Also I reached out to Steve and shared my disappointment, he wrote me back last night and said he regrets over-divulging. At least he acknowledged it.

OK, so you're saying 50% increase in archery tags.   Less than 50% and I win?

I'm good with that.

I'll go up to $100 to the winners charity.

How much would you like?

[Mtnwalker]

Let’s do $50, it’s sort of a lose lose for me and I have a baby on the way 

[Mfowl]

I certainly know where I'm applying next year!...
