I bet it was tough to position that bull so as to keep the 1970s split levels out of the shot. :dunno:

Nice Bull. Shane's come along ways! I remember when he couldn't spell "cat" could not find a typo.

Who cares if he is hunting near housing developments? Lots of hunters hunt near towns, more hunting is needed near many towns? What really matters is if he follows the law and if he offers hunting opportunities in a positive manner. Just sayin! :dunno:
That is a dandy bull!

If you have something the guy did wrong then please post it, if you just don't like the guy that's fair enough too, please say that!
But in all honesty, wildlife in and around cities is a problem that many agencies are responsible to try and resolve. We need to hunt responsibly of course when we hunt in suburban areas, but hunting is badly needed in suburban areas more so than it's needed in the wilderness. Reducing game numbers by hunting in suburban areas when done responsibly actually proves the need for hunting to non-hunters!
Some of you guys love hunting in the wilderness, I do too. But I don't think it's fair to criticize you because you want to hunt remote areas where there is actually less game and less need for hunting. Conversely I don't think it's fair to criticize someone just because they hunt suburban areas that you think doesn't provide an experience equal to a wilderness hunting experience.
Remember, suburban game is actually more plentiful, causing problems, needing hunted to control numbers and to resolve wildlife complaints, thereby hunting in the suburbs is proving the value of hunting in wildlife management!

Contrats to Jim for legally and ethically taking a phenomenal trophy.
Jim has spent more than a little time hunting very rugged and remote country.
Some of you guys ooze jealousy and elitism.

I just spent 9 days in that same area jim hunted along with what seemed like everyone else on the planet. My 12 year old son and I beat some serious bush and did manage to get onto some pretty randy bulls, but never did seal the deal. He drew and missed his first animal, a cow. He was so exited to have shot an arrow at an animal. :tup:
It is kinda disheartening to drive by those farms and know that someone who could hunt anywhere in the world pays to show up and take a trophy there, but thats just me and to each his own.
whats disappointing is the fact that most of these hunts result in "donating" the meat. Which to me is like saying "im here for the horns". I've never seen them donate antlers to the church. Its tough to sit and watch some hunting shows when you know they're probably just there to get there picture taken with an animal and take home some antlers, cause they're probably not there for the scenery or experience for that matter. Maybe jims hunts out here just bug me more because they hit so close to home for me. Maybe some of you will have a different opinion when he comes to your neighborhood.
But you know what, I fully support jims right to hunt his way. But I also fully support my right to call it lame!

I don't like duck, when I go duck hunting I usually give it to someone else, does that mean I shouldn't be able to go duck hunting? :dunno:
Post by: bullfisher on September 20, 2015, 12:47:44 AM
I get a few hunters who leave their meat, sometimes I keep the meat, sometimes the meat goes to various local people we help out. None of the people receiving the meat are complaining and the guy who shoots the animal has just as much right to hunt as long as the meat is properly utilized.Who said someone shouldn't be able to hunt?

Why is it so hard to understand your thoughts about hunting may not be the same thoughts as all other hunters?

I can agree for the most of what you said, But why portray or edit the footage of the hunt and publish it as something it's not? It's not a wilderness adventure or great spot and stock type hunt. Be honest about it. I think they should give credit to the sound crew who can edit out the cars and trucks passing by... the film crew who position themselves in the best possible angle to not spoil the picture recorded.
It is what it is, don't try and hide it or try to mislead folks.
And yes I think SB is a POS
And yes I think it's a great bull.
