I am not positive but someone told me that washington does not require a permit to guide only outfit.
Isn't mntcook the only licensed outfitter in the Blues?
yep one hunter one tag!!!!!!! Now think about the guy who has bought an elk tag all his life and all he has ever shot were small bulls at best. IF this big bull wasn't bought and paid for. Maybe the common man would have found him and killed him. Who do you think would be more excited ? The rich guy? Or the guy who has busted his azz without PAID GUIDES to find this animal.Dont get me wrong that I love the fact the money is well used? (MAYBE) Just dont like the fact that we as residents of washington state sell and elk every year. Yes it is just one, but last time I checked we dont have a lot of elk like some other western states......this thread just goes to show that as you call them "sportsman" put a price on a BULL ELKS horns? hmmmm ever wonder why we have poaching? maybe its becuse the horns are worth so much these days.....................

He's gotten the gov. tag the last 3 yrs., must be nice.Not sure where the money ends up, but if it goes back into wildlife, I think that is pretty generous for him to put up that kind of money year after year. I don't even think he is in Washington, I think he is from Oregon.

BOUGHT and paid for!!!!!!!!!!! might as well go to a elk farm and buy one too...........and it really burns my aZZ that it isnt even a resident of our state.......this is crap.. I dont care what the money is used for..... BOUGHT AND PAID FOR..........no thanks... This isn't hunting, This is paying for an elk!!!!!!!!!!!
Attached are two pictures of the auction tag bull killed by Dan Agnew in the Blue Mountains on Monday, 9/20 (the day after archery season). The bull is a 6 x 7 with an estimated gross score of 428 and an estimated net score of 409. The main beams are 59 and 57 inches, inside spread is 44 inches.The bull was killed pursuant to "fair chase" standards and in compliance with all WDF&G rules and regulations. More information will be forthcoming after the 60 day B&C waiting period.
Quote from: mkcj on September 22, 2010, 08:34:25 PMThat is a great elk! Thank you Mr Agnew for spending the $ to get this tag and helping our wildlife! Now that being said as far as the hunt goes there is hunting and there is killing! My boys and I hunt in washington when we go to Wyoming next week we will be killing. This bull may have been on public land for all to take but I have a feeling at day break of that "hunt" they did not "hunt" this animal it was just killed. Anyone can be a great "killer" for the right amount of $ But you have to work hard be a great hunter. Very well put!!

Wik's and Burn's have the other two licensed areas in the Blues.

So you know him? Again how does the amount of money someone have make them a "real" hunter or not?
