Washingtons Elk AUCTION Tag

[Cougeyes]

If it is Agnew at least he's from WA.  I would rather have a guy from WA buy it than someone from out of state.

he had guys watching that big bull elk for a month or more. All he did was hike over the hill side and pull the trigger. That's not hunting in my book. Then a couple days later he shot another monster bull down in arizona or somewhere. On some indian rez. Sure it be fun to go do that, but it doesn't mean near as much. The guys that hike their butts off, scout, scout, and scout, (for themselves) and then out smart the giant on their own are my heroes. I don't respect the guys that spend 47 grand, harvest a big elk, and then brag to the world about how great of a hunter they are.

I respect his contribution (even though is does not go where it is supposed to) but I don't respect the way he harvests.  Notice that I called it a harvest instead of a hunt.  I have no hate of jealousy for the guy, just don't want to hear any bragging about what a tough "hunt" it was.   

What do you mean? I hear that jet lag is a real pisser! Makes things tough

I doubt Mr. Agnew would be using Mossback to bid. I assume that means Doyle's coming to WA. Mr. Agnew has his own guide crew.

[Todd_ID]

That was my thought too, jackelope.  I really hope that crew doesn't make it up here; too many bad things follow them around if you believe half the stuff you see and hear.  Maybe they'll just hire Agnew's crew since they know the country; at least we know what we've got now isn't getting people hurt or tires slashed.

The guy puts alot of money towards the state and what should be wildlife management....but we all know thats not how this state works and it goes into a general fund. What he does is all completely legal. I hate how people think that just because they have their set ethics everybody should go by them, other wise theyre considered un-ethical. If its legal it doesnt really matter what anybodys ethics are. Dont get me wrong I would never do a hunt like this and would feel no reward in it but he obviously does and he has the money to do it year after year. If you dont like what hes doing then you should make an effort to have the laws changed regarding auction tags in this state instead of bashing some guy you dont even know on a public forum YEAR AFTER YEAR.

when the states making that much money it's hard to change their minds.

[danceswitharrows]

I wish I had the money to be the person we all complain about    

That would be a great post:

     Hey friends  just dropped 50k on the elk auction tag.  I will give another 50k to whom ever can put me on the biggest elk...Happy trail cam hunting 

P.S. It needs to be a one day hunt because I have alot of partying to do with Charlie Sheen

You know it is really hard to get out of the truck when it is full of hookers, drugs and booze!

[Maverick]

that money should at least go strictly toward fish and wildlife. Not the whole damn state.

[coachcw]

I'm a firm believer of point of use fee's aswell as the funds from benifits and auction tags . I'll will say if I had the money to hunt as many state and great areas as agnew I sure as hell would . so some part of me is jealous of him . I can't believe that so many people on here are so high and mighty to put the guy down . Hell most don't even know the guy and go by hear say.

[nwhunter]

+1 coach  and I have never seen or read where Dan brags about his hunts or how hard they are either. He has the money to do what very few can and does it how he wants or with the time he has to do it so be it. nwhunter

[Legacy]

Do know that agnew didn't buy the tag so all of the folks on here that want to continue to put down a guy who over the years has put in his time...days, weeks and months...on elk hunts and put lots of money into elk habitat through tag buys can find someone else to roast and put down. The jealousy on here and in other forums over guys who can afford to buy auction/governor type tags and then have some success continues to stun me...at least this next fall you'll have someone else to criticize and berate in the Blues.

[boneaddict]

Moss probably has his politics moving on that hanford bull, or he'll try to run him off the rez with his chute planes.

Who is this Mr. Agnew guy?
