Word on the street here in Tri-Cities is that someone harvested a 390+ bull in the last week or so off of Silver Dollar. I told my friend to provide some "pics or it didn't happen". No pics yet. Not confident that he'll be able to get them, either.
Anyone on here heard anything about this bull? Real or rumor?!?
Cheers!
-
I haven't seen or heard anything. Most I know are still getting in last minute fishing. Tagging.
-
I heard of an archer missing a 400 incher and then killed a 360 bull on martinez's land. Probly same bull, just moved to silver dollar. This was a couple weeks ago.
-
I haven't heard anything either here in Yakima. There are some bruisers out there though thats for sure! Some one must have paid the ungodly amount for the trespass fee or it could of been the black rock tag holder... Now I'm curious
-
A guy at work showed me a pic of a bull his dad killed on a land owner permit that scored 390. Somewhere in the Hanford area. Is that anywhere near the area.

sounds like it
-
Well then I will confirm it :tup: It was still in velvet, But it wouldn't have been much longer, Pretty developed.
-
Yep, Silver Dollar borders the Hanford site. Sounds like the bull I heard about. Would love to see pics!
-
I will check with him. See if he will send it to me.

He obviously hangs around on the site then.

Congrats to the hunter, sounds like a beautiful bull if 390 and full velvet. :tup:

What tag did he have?

Im guessing an indian shot it if there has been negativity and bashing....

i would guess that also, and if so its well deserved! The negativity and bashing I'm talking about, not the bull. I would say more but still don't know for sure if it was an Indian kill, not any skill involved when you have an open tag and can get away with just about anything. If it is tribal, I really don't care to see the damn thing.

:yeah: Must Be Terrible To Not Be Able To Share Pics.

A close friend of mine had his kid draw a youth antlerless permit there a year or two ago. It's a long season that starts like Aug 1 end goes until January or something crazy like that (check the regs). His kid took a huge antlerless bull late in that season. So there are open seasons with permits in those areas right now. Including any bull tags.

not to offend you but there is quite often negativity regarding pics post of mbers kills that have nothing to do with heritage. If the hunter posted a pic after its been outted as "390" bull someone right away will doubt the score, someone else will question why it isn't tagged then he'll get lambasted for lack of humter orange and probably his spelling.

And for spending $15,000-$20,000 for a bull

if I shot a 190 bull I really wouldn't care about people's negative post, I just post my pics for those who enjoy them.
-
I'd love to see it regardless of who harvested it. Tribal or not it really doesn't matter to me I just love seeing horn porn, unless its a fenced/pen raised animal of course.

Yep.
Not sure why people like to take pot shots when other people post a pic, or even when word of an animal gets out.
it does not help the site.

Haters ganna hate. That's a fact of life. Hopefully the hunter will post a little horn porn for the rest of us that will enjoy it. :tup:

People stop saying "haters gonna hate" unless you drive a riced out Honda civic...

i have a ton of respect for the natives that do it the right way, I don't care and have no respect for guys that grab the rifle in August and kill anything that walks till February. Don't care to see that horn! Hate me for it, I really don't give a crap.

Lol, OK sorry for being in between young and old. :sry:
How about we try, "People will disapprove no matter what you do or what you are. So how about sharing the splendors of the hunt with the rest of us who will not judge and appreciate a good photograph and maybe a tale to boot"

There you go I can understand your statement now! :tup: :chuckle:

I have a good story of a great hunt that took place last year that will probably never happen again but because there are people that don't agree with the way things are done with a certain group this story will never be shared on here. It's a legal harvest that was ethical and the hunter waited years to get the chance to get such a magnificent animal but again there's always going to be a few that are going to be disgruntled, which is to bad because its a great story that developed over the years. Trophy, I understand and this is not directed at you but others that choose to be disgruntled.

I for one would love to hear it!Forget what other people think as long is it was legal and ethical. :tup:

I'd love to share it but it means to much to me to have anyone taint it.

Yeah, if it was one of us that had an avatar that showed that in reverse we would be called racist by everyone and probably get a ban...

It says above they thought it was a landowner permit. But bring the Indian slams into the discussion anyway. I'm sure our Native members don't mind a little unjustified slamming. :bash:

So that makes it ok to have a picture of an Indian scalping a white person? B.S!

Why not ignore it? Is it that difficult? There's a couple things I find offensive but I ignore it and allow that member to exercise their right to freedom of speech.....I recall quite a bit of people on here saying if you don't like it ignore it or use the block button and he wasn't banned for anything. I don't know if he wants me to share where he's been so ill leave that up to him......I thought this was a permit hunt as identified by the OP?

For one bearpaw has made a point that he doesn't want offensive avatars. But the main reason is if that were the other way around it wouldn't be put up with for a second. To be honest it reminds me of a jihadist getting ready to behead an infidel it disgusts me.

Bummer but understandable, congrats all the same.

Congrats to the hunter. :tup:
This topic is a testament of why many hunters will not post a photo or story of their trophies. There are too many jealous and negative people waiting to pounce on anyone who gets the animal of a lifetime. No thanks to them and their poor attitudes. :bash:

Maybe this will help the thread die. The hunter was an older gentleman that has killed many elk in his years. Hunted his whole life like the rest of us....looking for the bull of his lifetime. He got it and stated "I don't care if i ever kill another bull, I'm fine with cows from here on out". He didn't shoot it in Silver Dollar, and he didn't pay fees of any type. This is a guy that's spent his life hunting deer and elk. I've watched him use his horses to pack elk for people he'd just met, and only wanted a "thank you" when done. Those that he wanted to share his success with have seen the pictures. He's paid his dues and doesn't deserve to be judged. The few people that have the pictures haven't posted them as a sign of the respect they have for him. Sure going to miss all the speculation though!!! A few of you did a great job of trying to turn the attention to yourself. Good luck this season to all!!!

Sounds like the guy deserved a bull of a lifetime. :tup:
Congrats to him.
-
I sure would have loved to see the bull, its to bad on certain memebrs action to ruin for everyone!
-
:yeah:
Congrats on the bull of a lifetime just wished I could see. :tup:
-
Those of you that know the hunter or if he is on here tell him congrats!!!!! I know exactly how he feels. I haven't hunted for elk all that long (around 7 years) but got a bull with my bow last year and feel the same way. Could care less about the antlers now. Meat was actually a little tough on the bull I shot ;)
-
Congrats to the hunter! But I really wouldn't give two chits about what guys thought if I legally shot any animal, much less a 390 bull.
-
Congrats To The Hunter, But The Hell With It! If You Shot Something Like That Show It! Big Deal, Grow Some Thicker Skin! We All Get Judged Everyday By People We Could Give A Sh1t About!
Show That Thing And End This, Or Make It Better!!!!!!!

The story has been set straight now, when you just get a plain post about a 390 bull being shot of course people are going to speculate. But now that the somewhat story has been posted by someone who knows the shooter I don't really see how anybody could really say anything bad. And if they did they would just get flamed by members on here. I say post the pictures and share what you waited so long to accomplish it obviously sounds like you earned it and have waited for this bull for along time and there are plenty of people on here who are going to congratulate you.
-
Well, all I know is I've never gotten a bull that big so I'm sure he cheated.... :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
Why do some on this site INSIST on calling anybody's achievement into question without knowing anything about it.
Personally, I'd post a pic for the benefit of the decent, and the idiots could pound sand.
I just really wish that we as a hunting community would quit this stupid behavior.
And yeah, I'll admit it: If I had private land access to a 390 bull, I'd take it in a heartbeat.
P.S. Hardy congrats to the hunter. May the memories stay crisp and clear for many years to come. :tup:
-
I'm very happy for this guy on what sounds like a great bull! But what tag did he have? Was it a land owner tag over there? Or is this asking to much. A few years back my son drew the only any elk tag from Martinez's land, we got 1 call while we were in Wyoming hunting deer and got another call a few weeks later and were told that there was a cow and calf on the property if we wanted to come over I said I didn't think my son would want to shoot a cow with calf and was looking forward to getting a shot at a bull (having the only tag) and I was told the bulls were not around and the only chance he would have would be for a cow. What a waste of 4 point's! even though it was the only any elk tag there was no way he was going to get a bull and we never received another call. Sorry about getting off track here.

I hope we can see pics. This sounds like a heck of a bull! Screw the negative comments. The mods can take care of those from here on out.
