Title: New WA State Record?
Post by: beerchaser on September 11, 2008, 03:33:15 PM
My cousin sent me these this morning, these are the comments:
The hunter was Dan Agnew from Vancouver.
The bull is a 9x10, with a green score of 450” plus.
It will be the new WA state record.

you know if the guy payed 65k for the tag, you know he can afford a ticket for not wearing orange

Good for him ... he hunted it fair and square!  besides no one said a word last year when Riechert shot a puny little 387 with the gov. tag and a 355 with his permit!

records are meant to be broke. and money cant buy you love, but it can buy you happiness. congratulations to the bull he deserves the credit .
Title: Re: New WA State Record?
Post by: MichaelJ on September 12, 2008, 01:43:27 AM
You know what gives me the most pleasure?  Is that in a few years, when looking at the record books, what is going to be your first thought?  I know for damn sure mine is going to be "Man!  That was one legendary bull and I'm glad I got to be there for it all!"

It sure as HELL won't be "Man, that was one lucky SOB who put in a lot of miles and earned that bull!"

That bull will go down in the record books because of his awesome genetics and legend status, the "hunter" sure as hell won't be remembered and I'm sure most people won't even remember the dudes name....   8) ;) :IBCOOL:

I think its great that he got it, who cares about the hunters orange. he could have taken it off for the pic I always do. The cool part is the genetics are in that area. I still cant believe it was shot in Washington.

Post by: Ghost Hunter on September 13, 2008, 04:29:23 PM
I had several pics sent to me by one of the fellas early after the hunt.  I knew he had the opportunity to 'be there'.  Not sure it's right to take anything away from those that chose to participate in the experience.   Certainly won't hold it against the tag holder.  Helps create dreams for some of us :chuckle: :dunno:  Probably should congratulate all for being there. Had to be a kick.  OK, I'd rather it had been me :'( :chuckle:  Maybe I should start playing the lotto :dunno:

Honestly thats my opinion too... I sure don't take anything away from the 'GUIDES' that participated in this hunt.  No DOUBT they worked THEIR ASS OFF to find this bull and even keep tabs on.  Hell I've lost bucks on a centralized WINTER RANGE from week to week.  For them to pin point this bulls movement is an accomplishment.  Am I goin to congradulate them?  Nope... but do I have less respect for them?  Hell no...  It all comes down to what the hunter wants, and if he wants to shoot a bull thats been 'sat' on, then he's going to do it.  No matter for the boys who located it.

Ya great bull. He and his small army beat out a 12 year old with muzzy tag.
Good job. More info on details of the "HUNT" to come out down the trail.

I guess technically, he was done hunting anyway...(about the hunter orange)...just playing devils advocate.

Nice bull...I would rather have the 65K though...

Just got home from a 5 day weekend at Sun Banks and had these pics sent to me by a friend, not sure if they have been posted somewhere else so I will delete it if someone replys. I guess the first couple are of the bull the day before. I guess they are calling it the BirdBath Bull :dunno:

that thing was shot, not hunted.  A real hunter downing a cow or spike is more of a trophy than that. IMO

I heard from a local resident (pomeroy area) that he hired 7 different guides , and that he flew into walla walla the day of the hunt ( in his private jet ) and then after an 1 hour hunt, flew out 3 hours later . some hunt

It would truly be nice is some Joe Schmoe type guy nailed that. How awesome would it be to be packing that back to your single wide trailer, knowing damn well you have not one wall in the place that could support that rack...
I wish I had that problem
