Free: Contests & Raffles.
Here’s how I look at this situation. This is like a buddy who shows up to your house to show off his 69 Chevy hot rod that he just bought from someone else who put in all the hard work and time to make it what it is. Yes, he is the owner of said hot rod and that is the title he owns when he is driving around town in a cool hot rod that someone else built. I will tell him nice car and looks cool and good job financially to put himself in the spot to buy the car. But to me some appreciation is withheld because I know he didn’t do squat besides paying for the car. I’m not jealous, I just know it was bought not built. I personally would be more proud if he had built it himself.This applies to hunts for me. I haven’t heard the whole story yet so I’m staying reserved. I’d like to hear from start to finish on how this bull was first being hunted to when it was killed. Give me something to appreciate besides the shear mass of this Elk and for the projects that may be completed from the money raised from this tag. The rumors circling all over the internet that this bull never ventured onto public hunting lands and never far from the town where it was killed is unfortunate to hear. Is this all true? I hope it’s not true and would be nice to know. The hunter Casey potentially gets to hold the title of World Record Elk, no doubt and he owns that. Doesn’t mean we have to agree with the way it happened or say sorry for the lack of appreciation I or others may have for the hunt.
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
I do wonder what drew that particular bull to hang out in that particular hood?
Does this look like the same bull?
That’s obviously photoshopped, why are you posting that?
