Possible record bull?

Just gonna say one last thing. If they truly cared about conservation of the animal, they’d do so without needing a trophy tag as compensation for doing so.

Is this raffle tag the same one a anybody can apply for?

Yep $6 a ticket . You just have to buy 50000 tickets to compete with these guys .

Dude could go guided elk hunting literally anywhere in the free world for less money than he’s spending on raffle tickets here in WA alone. Nevermind all the other auctions and raffle money he’s putting in. Plus there’s at least a couple times he’s spent big $$ on raffles and didn’t win too. Soooo….

I probably won't be purchasing any more raffle tags, seems more like a donation than an opportunity 

It would be unfortunate if some of these deep pocket trophy hunters have orchestrated what you're frustrated about. Make the hopes of winning so deflating to other ticket buyers, that they stop participating. In the large scheme of things, I think Casey paid very little. In the 5's of thousands of dollars

[HillHound]

 They sell more every year but in 2018 I drew a raffle tag and only bought 10 tickets. I prefer the raffle that the little guy actually has a small chance over the tags that are  auctioned for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and the little guy was never even in the game.
 Someone needs to start a new topic with something positive. Maybe start posting up the mounts we have from this past season as we get them finished up or back from the Taxidermist. I can’t remember a topic I think since Covid that had people so worked up on trying to get their viewpoint Pounded into everyone else’s head. We all have our opinion of this. Let’s get over it and get back to our friendly community We normally have instead of attacking each other constantly because someone paid for a tag or somebody used a gun or somebody didn’t go harvest the Flint themselves to make their arrowhead that they took the animal with…. Pretty sure you all get my point this could go on forever until we each make the decision to stop. We are all entitled to our own opinion, but nobody ever said that our opinion matters or that anybody else has to listen to it, so voice it and move on

If he wanted to put his mouth where his money was at… he would help cull over population in areas that were NOT trophy units. He would care about managing the resource instead of paying for it. Can you show me some pictures of him doing real conservation work? Actions are louder than words. You gonna sit here and tell me he spent all that cash to help conservation when most of his 80+ bulls are over 300 inches? Come on guys get real. Hes a trophy hunter period. Exactly what the anti hunters are trying to paste us as. We better start proving them wrong, instead of right. Or they might win the war

I've got no dog in this fight but your profile has a herd bull, I'm sure there was a raghorn running around..

That bull is the only 6x6 I’ve ever killed and I’m 40. I did it the right way and was the first bull we saw after six days in a “quality” unit and tag. I shot the first bull I saw and was lucky it was a good one.

can I ask what unit? Just because they give out quality tags doesn’t mean it’s a quality unit.

Sure why not. Ellensburg. My family grew up there and I spent a good chunk of my life growing up there too. I’d be happy to help fill a tag in that area, if you have a tag

if I had a tag I wouldn’t need your help. Thanks for the offer.

So then this raffle means everyone that plays is eligible to kill a trophy if they put in the time to research. Whether you buy one ticket or a thousand, it is even and fair as the chance to win is the same for everyone, 50/50. You win or you don't. Odds play out in many ways but this guy got lucky lady just as Charlie got the chocolate factory. Good for him. I hope he continues to pursue his sport and excel at his endevours.

It's not the same odds. You get 1 chance for every ticket purchased. Some people have the means to buy thousands of tickets, increasing their odds substantially.
That's why so many of the raffle tag winners are the same guys buying auction tags etc.

        Would there be this many people that don't know anything about how it was taken be complaining if it were a spike or raghorn? I like most, do not know anything about the hunt, just the result.

     Many years ago, when my son and his friend came of age and wanted to start getting into hunting, we planned a trip. 
    After talking and listening for days and days with these boys and preparing them for possibly not harvesting, as the odds were against them, and I was limiting their shot distance IF we even saw a legal buck.  We met a guy and I told him the story of these two boys and that I had explained quite a bit of real-world hunting to them and that I just wanted to instinct good morals and ethics into them not expecting anything more. By the end of the hunt each boy was fortunate enough to harvest a buck, Amazing!  Both of the bucks were legal 2x's with antler guards each taken a day apart. These bucks were nothing spectacular and massive, but they were their first animals ever harvested. On the 4hr drive back home all I heard was the jubilation from these boys about the trip and how on the next year they were gonna hold out for giant deer!
    With the help and knowledge of that man that we had just met I was able to help fulfil these boys' dreams of becoming successful hunters.   That man's name is Casey Brooks. 
   My

   Congratulations Casey on being able to take a fine bull!
