Well, I understand the guy not wanting to post his buck and open himself up to criticism, particularly if he used a guide, or shot an animal that was less than shocking in size... but I wish he would post it anyway...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

it really sucks to think he would get criticized for using a guide. thats the reason these gov tag guys don't post anything on sites like this...because folks like to criticize the way they hunt. look at whats happened here in the past...why would any of them post anything for all the b.s. that gets said?

A lot of it I think is the "hate the rich" mentality.  Some people will criticize anyone with money when they catch them spending it in the public eye, giving no thought to the idea that they have the same chance to become rich in this country as anyone else does. 
As a soldier, I certainly am not anywhere near affluent, but I have no problem defending a person's right to become wealthy in our system.  Besides... I retire in a couple of years... so, who knows? :dunno: :)

BTW I agree with you and thank you for making this a possibility for all of us!  :) I know I appreciate it!!!

 Spot on right there. I have seen the buck and it is a lot more impressive than the pics, some times the camera jusy does not capture the true size. I posted pics of Toms incentive tag buck, I thought I got good pics that really capture the size of that pig, but looking at them after the fact I missed the boat a bit. Guys that I showed while heading to Charlies will tell you its way more impressive in hand than the pics show, same for the "auction tag" buck. Its a nice buck guys, any of us would be happy with it on our wall. Same as last year, another trophy that the pics just dont do it justice.

  They have earned the privaledge to aquire the tag and do what most of us can only aspire to do, dont hate the player...hate the game.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

I agree with hunt, here we go again with people complainin about what somebody else shot, get a life, seriously, if u don't like it, then don't read it or comment on it, what somebody else chooses to do is none of your concern

wouldn't want to post a story ... would you?
Well I guess I would as I post everything from an accidental discharge to blurry pictures, from my wife hating me to getting nothing for Christmas.  I share everything.  Maybe that means I am an extrovert or that I could give a rip what other people think, or my propensity to share :dunno:   I show you guys what I shoot everyyear and half the time show pictures of the preseason scout, skylines etc.  I even tell you if its the Entiat, or the Methow or the NE corner.  I tell you if its a Yakima ram, a Clemens ram or a Chelan ram.  If you are ashamed of what you shot, or how you got it, then I might see it, but that doesn't even stop me.

The guy that the killed the buck had a great time.  Those who helped had a great time also.  I'm sure they're sitting back lurking at all the comments made and still having a great time. ;)  I bet if is this post reaches 20 pages, a pic will be posted.

yeah Doug, agreed, but the big difference that i see is that there aren't a bunch of armchair quarterbacks telling you that you suck or you should have done it this way instead of that way or etc...
