Getting interesting.


The truth always comes out when the animals harvested are local legends. And live most of their lives within city limits....even when those city limits are loosely defined.

Coming out of nowhere with the instigation here. I think it’s pretty uncalled for.

Possible record bull?

How’s about this instead of any more brief synopses.

Knock it off so a cool thread about a great bull and what seems like a pretty cool guy and accomplished elk hunter doesn’t get locked.

Thanks Josh.

I was just trying to think of how to say exactly that.

The local community group is full of pictures and videos of this bull over the years in yards and walking down the town streets.

The bull being the new World record from Washington is the only cool part of the story. The rest of the hunt is lacking integrity
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂


Oh you know the truth? Cause the dozens of photos surfacing of this bull alive tell a story of where this bull lived....

Wanna post some of those pictures?

I have zero idea...maybe in the vicinity of this one from 10ish years ago?   :dunno:

Has some similar vibes given the photos just recently shared. I'm sure everything is 100% legal on this recent bull given the media and its a huge bull regardless of where it was killed!

Jealousy has a way of rearing its ugly head anytime someone is successful. Great bull, who cares where he shot it or where it lived it’s life

who wouldn’t shoot that pig! No story would have been better, neighborhood elk are always known.  I don’t think jealously is the problem.

Completely agree 💯.  What's so wrong with wanting to know the story. I've been dupped more times than not when it comes to this sorta thing.  Not saying, BY ANY MEANS, that the hunter did something wrong or unethical, but why can't a person hear the story before giving an "atta boy"

What do those pics prove? That the elk eats alfalfa? That it was approached by a human being? What exactly is everyone getting at? I guess this means any elk that eats in front of a camera is not fair chase? Not a legit hunt if you got a pic of it eating in front of a camera? Any animal that visits a feed station is off limits then right?  :dunno:
