I guess I'm totally opposite... When somebody draws a tag like that I'm all for telling them exactly where I would go, what I would do, hoping they get a 400"... I could care less if they don't do any of "their own" finding out to figure out what to do... You'll be lucky to draw a tag like that once in your life... Most people don't know that area that do draw the tag... But it is the IMO easiest area in the state to hunt elk out of all the places I've hunted elk... And that's a lot of different gmu's...
But after they tell you where to look and you don’t post it all over social media.

This thread leaves me scratching my head  :dunno: for someone that Is worried about discretion and drawing attention to hard to draw units and places in such a unit you single handly have drawn over 6000 views and counting to a tag and places you’d rather not have people know about. You might want to take a look in the mirror.

I see your point... The people who helped him I'm assuming knew he was a social media whore and going to film the hunt and post it... Like his other content... I don't know... I didn't know of him until this... I'm sure he's a member on here... I like to take pics of my hunts and share them... Some on here too that may give away a spot of mine if you know where it is hey more power to ya... But nobody on my socials are friends with me cause of my hunting content...  :chuckle:   
I love you... I really do...

And just a PSA... To keep everyone's hope's up or give you a look on the brighter side... You can apply to other "easier" to draw tags and have a chance at a 400" bull here in WA... Maybe not as many as the Colockum may hold... But it is a possibility...

Now somebody is looking for your bull,and someone besides you already knows about it.
Probably harvested by the time the last guy looks for it....

Secrets don't stay secrets that way.
It was gonna happen sooner or later ,so no point in being discreet .

This. I wish more people would listen to what Matt has to say instead of immediately exclaiming “He’s using social media just to push his anti hunting social media agenda. What a hypocrite!” Well how else would one try to get their opinion out there?
Or my favorite one, “he’s just jealous of Steve’s success!” Well he was on a few early episodes of Sellout Steve’s show and I have to believe that if he’d wanted to become a regular of the meateater crew he could have.

LOL   I had my chance when I had an any bull tag on a bull that was over 400"... Not in the Colockum... I didn't feel comfortable with the 230 yard shot, the angle of the bull, with the fiber optic sights with the muzzy... Wind eventually changed and he was never seen again... That guy is long gone... I posted a story about it describing the gmu as well... But that was almost 20 years ago... There's still some big bulls there if you're willing to look and maybe get lucky... But it's not near as easy as hunting the Colockum... 
I love you... I really do...
