Possible record bull?

[LDennis24]

I honestly don't understand where the anger is coming from with everyone. It's just elk antlers. If I had Casey Brooks money I wouldn't even shoot big animals... cuz I would own an elk ranch and have piles of elk sheds to look at. I would go hunt for predators and just cull elk from my herd for eating. This whole thing is just about anger over someone's money. Let it go!!!

Being called the driveway hunter

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 !

I’m not on Facebook or instagram so for the people who know. Is it true that Hoyte was the sponsor of the bow and Ring Doorbell was the sponsor of the video?

Is Casey Brooks the same guy that has archery hunted several of the auction ram tags?

You’d think long ago rules for record book entries would’ve been established.  I am not sure mans quest for notoriety and record books will stop.  Is there really a difference in a high fence hunt vs a neighborhood resident?  Not complaining about the dude, just questioning the parameters he was clearly following.  He seems to have done nothing wrong.  I will say there is a lot of things that are not right but still legal.

Is there a difference between high fence and backcountry limited entry permit ? Or rutted mulies that dont care about hunters ? But since the average joe does it its okay right ?  If the record books catered to every different hunters perspective on fair chase and "how it should be done" then there would be no record books....where would the record book line be ? 100 yards from city limits ? A mile from any paved road ? The more rules only take away from the animals and make it more about the hunters

All the nit picky stuff is just a distraction from an awesome animal...it doesnt remotely matter if an old guy thats got busted knees and back decided to hunt from a ground blind over some "bait"... id do exactly the same thing

It is  a pretty wild situation all around. From the natives calling him out on being a poor/non-ethical hunter (lol). And all the chat on this and that. Nontheless the bull is amazing, he truly is out of this world big. But, it makes me wonder how this situation would have been if it was a run of the mill 300 inch 6 point? Guessing it would get forgotten about much quicker. The guy has money but he is a proven killer and at the end of the day he had the tag in his pocket.

I actually could give two rips, just bored before feeding the cows.  I have seen some of these perspectives change since I started hunting in the early 90’s.  No biggy just different.  Can a high fence bull be entered into the record books?

Sci books

Im beting there is high fence opperations that are more difficult than some of the public land draw hunts entered into the B&C

Just food for thought

[huntandjeep]

Why does the public feel entitled to a "story" ? Its not your bull...im surprised they posted photos but im betting they thought the bull deserved it, not the hunter

His son is proud of him...so what

Public doesn't need a story . But when his kid and Hoyt went on Instagram and started with the # DIY# Public land # Etc etc etc , then you start hearing about a big trespassing fee paid , shot over bait , private land blah blah blah . Kinda makes you wonder what really went down .

[LDennis24]

Yeah! And unless you wear Sitka you shouldn't even be allowed to put in for limited entry tags!

If i was to guess, he probably hunted both private and public..he probably had as many options as he could get at his disposal....if it was killed on public then great, if it was killed 100 yards over an invisible boundary on private that he paid to get access to then even better...land owner and hunter both win

If hes proud of it then thats enough

Beautiful bull, congratulations.
