Serious question for those who know. Surprised it has not been asked yet.

Does this community have a HOA that dis-allows hunting? 

*******NOT saying it was shot in a HOA area, or even that any of this elk hunt was illegal********

Wow, I am jealous. Fantastic animal and so glad to see sumpin survive to become so impressive in this predator ridden state. Imagine it has been an impressive bull the past few seasons and to have not been harvested is crazy. Could be just one in a million elk who really did live hidden and met it's fate in a controversial spot. If shooter needs another partner I'd be happy to backup shoot anything he passes on.

Incredible animal regardless of the circumstances that it was harvested...as long as it was legal. I don't know the specifics, but if this animal was harvested on a property that has HOA rules that prohibit hunting then it may not be a legal kill. Having been involved in a million dollar + HOA lawsuit that changed my life forever, HOA rules can be prosecuted in court and should not be ignored. Just as serious as a game animal that is killed on a property that has been posted as "NO HUNTING". Congrats to the hunter as long as it was done within the law...
Time will tell, someone on this forum knows what really happened and after reading 19 pages of this and I still don't know.

 No hunting within suncadia. Suncadia tries to mitigate ground damage and has WDFW contacts in place for help if need be.

They tend to get hazed off suncadia ground. Couple fields they go to.

Here's a little secret for those who don't know or can't comprehend:  Shooting "yard deer or elk" is frowned upon by both hunters and anti's as a general rule. If a deer or elk is comfortable enough to hang out in a neighborhood anytime of year it's a yard animal. Just not a good look for hunters on this one.

I personally don't care either way if he killed it with a rocket launcher from his front porch. BTW.

I quit caring what people think long ago! It really is a better way to live.  I’m certain the bull would not of chose the alternative, getting his ass ate out by wolves. 
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Mostly safe to assume he didn’t kill the bull literally “in” the borders of suncadia.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Monster Muley forum has a lot on all of this. Interesting. Not to sure we will ever know the whole story wether it is good or bad. But we all need to remember this one thing, this quote from another Hunter says it best in my mind……..Your success in taking “trophy” animals is going to be directly related to your access to premium tags and hunts. That’s pretty simple to understand. Give your average, and I mean average hunter governors tags, raffle tags, land owner tags or what for most is OIL tags every year and that guy will fill walls with huge bucks and bulls. So, greatest elk hunter ever really is relative

Wow...this thread has so much flavor.
I knew this bull, as did most people in the Roslyn community.  As an adult bull he never once stepped foot on public land.  He hung out on the golf course, the cemetery, and people's yards...that's how he lived to such an old age and grew such an extraordinary world record set of antlers.
Is Casey a great elk hunter? Without a doubt.
But does the end justify the means?
Can he seriously look up at his wall of 400" bulls and be proud of his World Record?

The biggest bucks and bulls are always in someone's backyard.
Our state doesn't manage for trophies,dinks with a tiny dash of opportunity is all your gonna get on public land.
Your dang lucky if you find that.
Corn for deer
Alfalfa for elk
Don't mix the bait guys,don't mix the red and blue pills in the matrix... 😂

I’ve been thinking for several days now how to respond to a lot of comments on here. This was a free range bull for one. No high fence. The bull is harvested. Everyone is in awe of such a bull. A day later the whitefoots start showing pictures of this bull in a driveway, in someone’s yard etc. it’s crazy when the natives kill a huge bull or any bull for that matter and the a average hunter who can’t draw a tag does nothing but bash natives. Then we have a guy who buys a tag and kills a new world record legally. Then the natives bitch and complain showing pictures of the bull around houses and private property. Now turning hunters against hunters. Makes me sick! These animals summer in the mountains and winter closer to town. What blows me away even more is guys on here saying there’s no way they would kill this bull. I call out anyone of you that say you would not kill this bull if it were you had a tag and it were legal! The fact of the matter is no one involved in this hunt owes any of you a story of how the hunt went down. This is an incredible animal and it should be celebrated as such. Like I’ve said before hunters our are worst enemy!  Keep the hate alive guys! Great job!

 Only thing Whitefoot is pissed about is that the bull didn’t make it to Jan 1!
