Monster San Carlos bull

[Legacy]

Attached is a picture of a bull killed on the San Carlos Indian Reservatin in Arizona by Washington resident, Dan Agnew, on 9/30. The bull is a typical 7 x 8 and has an estimated green score of 428 gross and 409 net.

The taking of this bull, together with three other 400" plus bulls, including a 421" non-typical taken by 19 year old Kristy Stevens, will  be featured in a new video/dvd entitled "Elk Hunting with the San Carlos Apaches II" which willbe available in Januray, 2011. This new video/dvd is being created by Chappell Hunting Producitons and will be a sequel to the popular "Elk Hunting with the San Carlos Apaches" video/dvd that was released in 2004.

He's  been busy shooting 400" bulls in September, wow, two giants in ten days.

DAMN!!! What an AWESOME BULL! I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I had his money I would be enjoying it the same damned way!

CONGRATS

That is an awsome animal right there. 

[bucklucky]

DAMN!

[carpsniperg2]

he's going to have to build a add on to get those heads in his house

[PolarBear]

Wholy crap Batman!  From what I gather he has close to 4-6 bulls over 400"?  I think that this is his second or third San Carlos bull over 400 and at least 2 in WA.  Wow!

[halflife65]

Yeah, who says money doesn't make you happy?  That guy is shooting some huge bulls.  (And I don't have a problem with it - good for him.)

I may need to come up with a new business plan, this working stuff is not going to let me shoot hugo bulls.

congrats to dan for getting to do everything he wants in life.

[scout88]

congrats to him!! another monster!!

[boneaddict]

Great bull Legacy.  THANKS for sharing the pics.   The mass on that thing is awesome.

[BrownGoinDown]

Wow!  Great work Dan.

So did both of these bulls gross 428 and net 409? I was thinking that was the score of his Wash beast this year!

[WAmuleyHunter]

Nice looking bull.  The mount should take up a wall.

[bearhunter99]

Hunting the famed San Carlos reservation and shoots the same size bull as right here in WA!  As long as we can keep the wolves out we will see more of these class of bulls.  What a dandy!

[Legacy]

To clarify any confusion, coincidently the scores of both Agnew bulls in Washington and Arizona were virtually identical.

WoW what a bull

[Austrian Hunter]

I want to be Dan Agnew

I want to be Dan Agnew 

I think we all do. Lucky son of a gun. If I had his money I'd be doing the same thing.

Dan has shot a lot of nice bulls. I think it's time for Dan to switch to Archery.  I would suggest recurve or Long Bow for his future hunts to bring back the thrill and adrenaline factor........just sayin' Dan

[ridgefire]

give me whatever crap you will but i bought and watched the first san carlos elk hunting video and would not consider that really elk hunting but shooting the first bull that the hunter thinks reaches his own personal inches mark. was also duck hunting up there and stopped at the office that had his bull mounted there that he killed a few years back, cant remeber the score but watched the hunt and really turned me off on trophy hunting, watching some of the bulls pass that any sane hunter would shoot. call me a basher if u will but watch the video first and you will see what i mean.

1. If I were filthy wealthy, I would hire good guides, too
2. I am glad that rich people put money into hunting--helps us all out
3. I'm not jealous... ok maybe a little

Those being said, I don't fall out of my chair with respect for this 'hunters' accomplishments.  Anyone with a bunch of money and the ability to put a shot 100 yards down range could be in those photos. I say 100 yards and not 300 yards without knowing anything about the story because it seems as though most of his kills are around the rut. Scoped, high powered rifles in the rut... Seriously?  When I crawl through dirt and weeds, weezing like a dog so I can get within bow range, I am more proud of an animal that happens to score a little less than one shot with a rifle that I hunted during the rut.--not to mention having 10+ guides and asisstants to help. Enjoy your mount, Mr. Agnew.

i personally appreciate mebco09s $600 330ish idaho bull a heck of alot more than any of agnews 60,000 400 plus inch bulls he has taken, whether it has been on public or private land hunts even though i appreciate where i hope the govenor tag fees go to. im no trophy hunter but i personally think that raffle type tags should not be allowed in the record books.
