Well, the shooter sounds pretty happy and it was legal.  100% not hunting but he is fully aware of it, a gift from his wife for his 50th.
“In common with”..... not so much!!

To each his own but I get no thrill seeing those pics.

Me either man…why not just go on a black angus hunt. You get more meat and they don’t run as fast.

Plus a black Angus mount is pretty cool on the wall!

You can enter farm raised animals in SCI?

Yeah, but I believe you're not supposed to pay for a certain animal which it sounds like they were flirting with according to the Outdoor Life article.

Quote
Unlike Boone and Crockett and the Pope and Young Club, which don’t allow animals harvested on high-fence ranches into their record books, SCI recognizes these trophies as potential records. The organization simply categorizes them as “estate animals.”

Quote
He says he had originally paid to shoot a 500-inch bull (for context, the Boone & Crockett Club world-record nontypical elk, known as the famous Spider Bull, scored 478 5/8 inches), but then the head guide made him a deal he couldn’t pass up. The guide mentioned a record-class bull they had walking around the 10,000-acre ranch. He told Dhooghe if they could find it, he could shoot that elk in addition to a mid-500’s bull, and he threw out a price that Dhooghe was willing to pay.

Filled with lead weights and elk steaks.

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

No intrinsic value for me unless it’s fair chase.

Yeah I'm not gonna bash it, wish more of the guys on here would hunt in the fences, that way there was more wild elk for me
When the buffalo are gone we will hunt mice, for we are hunters and we want our freedom-Sitting Bull

I guess maybe that’s the one thing Washington has done right in regards to laws.  I mean I’d love to own a pet skunk 🦨, but….that’s just wrong.

Football money can make things happen and single trait selection can make it happen pretty fast
