Quote from: millerwheeler on October 20, 2019, 07:20:40 PMJust wait for all the replies that he ruined the unit and ruined a tag opportunity and blah blah it was never a secret peopleI guess I don't really understand the logic of this. Nothing is a secret. But there are still lots of people who don't know where to apply and don't know the first thing about certain units. Shoot I had a hunter try to turn me in for poaching for using a rifle in september when I posted a picture of me on the high buck hunt. This is a guy who has been hunting 30 years in WA and had never heard of the high buck hunt. Normal etiquette in the internet age is to avoid naming spots. Just because a hunt is hard to draw doesn't mean it can't get harder. This bump in applications was predicted and a bunch of people were quick to defend Rinella and said it wouldn't happen. It happened and now people are saying "well its because of season dates, etc..." I don't really understand why people defend Rinella on this when he himself called it the greatest regret of his professional career. We don't have to keep dragging him but lets not pretend it was ok.

Odds are terrible, they were always terrible...but now they're 5x more terribuller.Is that because of more applicants or less tags available?

You guys gotta remember to check your sources here.@Odell has been a long time hater of Rinella. Take what he says with a grain of salt Odell.... I feel like if I ever meet you in person, I should probably be the one buying beer/coffee for the trolling that's happened over the last year
I recall his apology. If I ever met him, I’d shake his hand and say apology accepted. Yes, I too apply for this unit. He’s a stand up guy and does way more good for the hunting industry than bad. I’ve been told he’s as sincere behind the camera as he is in front.

Like I said earlier, just because it was a hard tag to draw doesn't mean this doesn't hurt. Those are massive increases.

I don't hate Rinella I actually like him mostly. I just don't let him turn me into a 14 year old at justin bieber concert.

Sent ya a PM so we can keep this on track. Rinella is the man and anybody who says anything that can be in any way taken as offensive toward him is wrong. Oh, and climate change.
