Possible record bull?

[Roperfive88]

Man if you read some posts on Facebook from people that live around there you read everything from running it with snow machines and piles of bait.

Really I read it on Facebook so it must be true.

Hunter attacking hunters is only adding fuel to the fire of the antis. There are many methods of hunting and no one is better then the other. We all have our preferences so to each his own . Hunters quit bashing other hunters. Legal harvest is all that matters.

What a stud bull elks!!  Let the beast praise the holy land!!!

I think the facts tell enough. Dude shot a possible new World Record, with a bow, on the very last possible day, and his son comes out immediately to overly praise him. To me, all signs point to BS. No way someone wakes up on the very last day of having a raffle tag, decides to grab a stick and string, goes deep into the woods and happens to arrow a new World Record. His son going over the top bragging about his dad's "accomplishments" is a sign of guilt and trying to get the narrative set. If I'm wrong so be it, but it all smells weird. And this whole "jealousy" rant is played out and off base. Too often in the hunting world do these sort of things play out the way we think. Years later we even hear about little details that tell a different story. Can't blame people for catching red flags in the stories their told

agree, and the word jealously in this thread holds no water, just like the word racist, over used !

Interesting the amount of times Jealousy is brought up in these high $$$$$ killings, but NEVER do you see any talk about Greed. Both have a place in this, but I truly believe the latter has more of a detrimental effect on the future of hunting.

Its a gigantic bull, gorgeous, but better suited to look at roaming where it did, than to hang on a wall with countless others in its class.

I have no problem with any legally harvested animal, and based on the number of people vouching for him I’m convinced Mr. Brooks is a great guy.

The thing this proves to me yet again is that social media is the scourge of modern society.  If this hunt happens, the bull is harvested, everyone involved is happy.  It blows up when the bull is posed for pictures like they’re somewhere in the woods and a narrative is provided that mentions nothing of the actual details of what went down, and then it’s blasted across the World Wide Web.

For god’s sake people, stop screaming look at me and so many problems today would dissipate.

Anyone know for certain where it's rumored ( what community / neighborhood ) this bull was harvested?

Well at dinner my wife asked him if he was a professional hunter after he showed her some pictures   

Isn't he ? He's on a pro staff .

That is what she asked him. I don’t know why she asked? So he didn’t fill the black tail, white tail and mule deer tag before the end of the year?

It made my day seeing that picture, awesome bull and congratulations!

At the end of the day I feel Pope and Young will throughly investigate the situation that took place before they allow the bull to be entered into the record book. If they find anything the falls short of their ethics it won’t be entered and I would consider their investigation to be much more trustworthy that what is said on social media.

Wow, here are the facts. Casey shot an amazing bull. This was not a fluke, time and effort went into hunting this specific bull. On the last day of the season the bull showed up and made a mistake. Casey is a dedicated hunter with a lot of experience but he also can bankroll a team of people looking for the animals he is hunting. In the end, he was in the right place at the right time.

For ya’ll to drool over here are a few on the hoof. This bull didn’t magically appear where he was hunting on the last day. He was specifically hunting it and knew general location.

Those pics have all already been posted. The drooling is done.

Honest question for all that have the “facts”.  Was this bull eating alfalfa?  Was is being baited?

I guess I do not know why this matters in Washington or for this hunt. If it were Montana it would matter but it’s legal in Washington and I don’t see anything in Pope and Young’s rules that ban hunting over bait either. Maybe I’m missing something but this just boils down to a matter of personal ethos.

It really doesn't matter, just curious

There are guys on here that shoot late season whitetails neck deep in hay piles or even yard deer that get nothing but pats on the back and congrats from the forum.

The only difference in this case is the guy spent a lot of money to do so. Legal in both cases. We should at least be consistent in what is celebrated (or denounced).
