That is a great buck. I would love to shoot one like it. Sure there are bigger bucks out there, but this thread is about this deer. If you want to show off bigger deer then start your own thread.
Thanks to the OP for sharing. :tup:

Who cares.
I get it the guy buys big deer year after year. It doesn't mean he is a good hunter or outdoorsman. I have more respect for a hunt on an OTC public land DIY Muley doe more than this 200" buck. Just my opinion.
I buy tags and use guides all the time you have to hunt where the big ones live, and that cost money. >:(

The experience of simply being there was incredible, and I suspect Agnew understands that.
Being on the reservation does not guarantee a large animal.
Congratulations to Mr. Agnew on a very nice animal.

Haters gotta hate. >:( The Jicarilla is not a high fence hunt, it's an Indian Reservation and a big one at that. By bashing this guy for using a guide, you are bashing everyone who uses a guide. Every non resident who hunts in Canada is required to hire a guide. Are they all bad hunters because they use a guide? I think not. I don't know this guy so I can't ( I wouldn't anyway) judge him. If I were a rich man that is exactly what I would be doing every year, one dream hunt after another. If I wasn't hunting then I would be spending my money on fishing trips.I have to agree with you. I get what he is saying though, I don't get excited as much, but still love to look at nice animals.

I never would have guessed that deer to only have 6-6/8" in deductions. It looks like he has 10-12" of non typical points alone before factoring in symmetry deductions.

Awesome buck and congrats. There seems to be some jealousy in a previous post. Its his choice how he wants to spend HIS money and how he chooses to hunt legally. Enough with the negative attack better to just make no comment.
I can understand how my previous post can come across as being jealous. I'm not upset or jealous of the fact that this guy kills big deer every year I'm truly not. I just don't really understand why so many people think it's such a big deal. I'm sorry but it simply is not a hunting accomplishment in my book. Substitute anyone who can follow a guide around and shoot straight.
I have no problems with guides or people who take guides. Nothing against the hunter or how he chooses to spend his money. It just simply is not a big accomplishment in my book when you kill a big critter in an area where very very few people are allowed to hunt. Especially when you do it with your hand held.
Post by: AKBowman on December 04, 2015, 06:59:48 PM
Dan is a good dude and does a lot for the sport of hunting... I promise you he puts in more money into the sport and conservation then all of us combined on this site... Were lucky to have a dude like this... :twocents:
I'm sure he is and I agree with your statement. Lots pf good things come from his funds. Probably should have kept my opinion to myself on this one. It's cool he killed a giant buck and hopefully he accomplished one of his goals.

The post was about appreciating a truly tremendous buck - not about hunting style.
Some of these guys wear their jealousy so close to the surface it's scary.
Too bad.
Congrats to Dan A on a tremendous buck.... even though some of you would be more proud of shooting a rat over bait........ riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I'm just glad I got to see a pic. When it comes to hunting there are many ways to skin that cat. Some own great property, some use wealth, some use youth and physical advantages, some are just ridiculously lucky when it comes to tags, some are tremendously skilled, some have special ceded rights, and some have varying combinations of all of the above. I'm just happy people are out perpetuating the sport that I love and hope that it will continue for generations to come. I never would think to begrudge anyone success, as long as they hunt in an honest, ethical manner and show due respect to the game. I do not respect any Hunter more or less based on the size of their kill. I respect them based upon their ethics and their dedication and devotion to the sport. I'm personally ecstatic mr Agnew chooses to spend his dollars in ways that benefit the sport versus dumping a boatload of money into passing gun control or banning some aspect of hunting, etc. I have a certain hard-core style that I personally hunt, and I hunt that way because I enjoy it and because it's how I get the most fulfillment out of the sport; but I have zero problem with people doing things A different way and I hope they find great fulfillment in whatever manner they choose to hunt. I'm far more jealous of the amount of time Mr. Agnew gets to spend hunting than I am of his trophys and I hope that someday I will find myself in that position. I can't think of anything I'd rather do than spend three months hunting; regardless of the outcome. The trophy lies in the hunt itself; the animal is just a bonus.
Well said! :tup:

I get what AK is saying. And don't think he was trying to disrespect the hunter and certainly not the buck.
When viewed as a sport, hunting is special because it has no set "standards". In all other sports the "best" all compete on the same field. And earn respect among peers for play on that field. NFL fields are all the same, Goals are the same, even a deflated ball is cause for a lynching :chuckle: Basketball hoops are all set to the same height. Would anyone respect Lebron if he was dunking on a 8 foot basket? Yet hunting has none of these set in stone rules. Sure we have regulations but even these can certainly be bypassed with money. So it is natural that hunters will come up with their own yardstick for measuring success. From my limited interactions, I think for many hunters the " Pro field" is OTC tags or possibly general draw tags, on open to public land, and by and large unguided. That is the playing field that is the hardest to win at consistently. Not only for the hunter but also the hunted. Does that mean a guy wont ever dump a rut crazed 200 inch buck in the Methow in October from the pickup? Or that the guy who hunts a governor rut tag wont get a chance at 150 class buck on private ground with Mossback? Of course not, but which is more plausible? I do think some of these hunters hunt hard and care about a quality hunt. And some guys that buy a OTC tag and a 30 pack don't. Its all relative, but In the end when comparing apples to apples the guys with the 30 pack was still pitting himself against all the other competition against animals that knew best how to survive it. You cannot say that about this hunt.
I am happy for the hunter and the conservation dollars he puts toward the state/animals. I do question whether that money will ever impact me in any way or if these hunters attitude toward stewardship and animal and land access and availability. Are even close to mine. But in the end it is their money and the system is working for them, Kudos.
Most importantly can we please get off the " they must be elitist" or " here comes the jealousy crew" bandwagon. I think I will go try to kill a frustration Doe this weekend just to get my head straight :chuckle:

Very we'll said. There are many great things that come from this persons funds contributed to hunting I certainly would not argue against that. I'm not one for arguing one hunting style against another when hunting as a whole is being scrutinized as a whole from all the anti's.
Let's leave it like this...incredible animal. Hopefully a great experience with a goal fulfilled by all involved. Thanks for everyone's point of view.

:chuckle:...Well yes and no :tup: I would hope we are all similar in that mindset. I know I care less what you think or anyone thinks of how I hunt. I was simply pointing this out for comparison purposes. But for folk that don't care, they are awfully picky about getting their pictures and details posted up here. ( Not speaking for Dan directly, as he seems fairly freewheeling with the pics :tup: )
Personally the reason I think a lot of those folks that don't get their pictures posted on here don't because other folks don't like to post their pictures without approval of the person in the picture. I had pictures of the drama bull in that other thread probably within an hour or 2 of the bull dying. And I know others did too. I just don't post those pictures without the permission of the dude in the picture. I do that out of respect for the guy. There's no shortage of pictures of these critters.
Post by: link on December 04, 2015, 11:33:20 PM
I think maybe some of those preaching "we should all just get along" and pointing fingers at the "elitists" need to down a large spoonful of their own medicine and try just getting along.This is exactly how I feel about these types of hunts. There are no level playing fields in hunting. Some people have more money and buy tags. Some people are very lucky and draw good tags. Some guys can get access to properties, and some guys just have general tags, hunt crowded public land and do the best they can. Some people are just flat out better hunters than others. I just need to realize this and congratulate a hunter and appreciate the animal, not compare it to anyone else's, because you can't.

I don't see why people think It's okay to crap on their hunts just because they have money. People would never comment on "normal" people's hunts like they do with Dan and guys like him. It would be be incredibly rude. Everyone would chastise the commenter. Folks would say "no wonder people won't post success photos on here anymore" or "comments like that are ruining this site". But no, Since the hunter is deemed too rich it is okay to crap on his hunt. It doesn't matter how hard he hunted because he has money so therefore he didn't actually hunt.

How I was raised it mattered a hell of a lot more how dependable of a person you were in the field and what you did to contribute to putting meat on the table for the hunting party. I guess that's where things differ; I was raised its all about the hunt and not so much about the size of the kill.
Some of my best family friends now hunt almost exclusively through guides and I have the utmost respect for them. They are impressive hunters and reliable woodsman. I certainly am not crapping on this guys hunts because he has money. I'm just NOT going to give him blind praise because he killed a large animal. Especially when the large animals he kills are on paid tags and in areas where the public is not free to hunt. If he hunts a public OTC tag every now and then, honestly that would change the way I feel about this.
Sounds like he is a good guy SO GOOD FOR HIM, I mean that. Sounds like a lot know nothing about him and think he is amazing for killing large elk and deer every year on paid tags and exclusive guided hunts. For me "the hunt" is about so much more than that.

It's totally fine to have your view point. Honestly I was raised similar to you. But there is an old adage, if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all. No one is asking you to give him blind praise. We are merely asking that you don't post something negative. Sometimes it's just better to not post anything at all.

I've been in that joint, and the casino. The casino is OK after dark, the "bar", not so much. It's a tough crowd. But other than that place, I have been treated very well, and have nothing but positive things to say. I wish I could afford a bull or a trophy mule deer hunt. Until then, going and shooting a cow with my dad is quality time in the field, and quality meat.

its a really nice buck. Would I rather read a multi paragraph DYI story of a DYI OTC hunt with a similar pic.? Yep I would but this hunter is obviously very passionate about hunting and is a decent guy by all accounts so a big congrats to him. Would I do the same hunt now that i am older, not as mobile if I had the financial means. Yep I would. 20 years ago this type of hunt would not have interested me to be honest.
I think it is more of a frustration thing for a lot of sportsmen when they see tribal trophy pics, or high priced trophy pics, me included sometimes btw, that our hunting oportunities are diminishing, or so it seems, year by year and the price to hunt and/or fish seems to be just going up and up and out of reach for many sportsmen.
hopefully that trophy deer will be a a sports show in the future so i can see it up close

FYI, Doubledrop is legit. I'm sure he has his reasons for his limited posts on here. Frankly if it wasn't for his posts of Mr. Agnews successes, we would be unaware of them. I know I enjoy seeing them.What I don't get is why Dan doesn't post these himself under his own account?
3 posts in a year and all are pics of great animals and Dan? Is this a dummy account?Dan Agnew's 2014 San Carlos Monster

C.O.O. of Mt. Hood Beverage. They were one of our biggest distributors of Henry Weinhard's beer.Great buck! I see the beer business is still treating him well. :chuckle: We use to do a lot of business with him.I was curious what line of work he's in.
I was under the impression The Agnew Co. ended their CoHo relationship three or four years ago.
I would very much like to have a burger and a Henry's with Mr. Agnew one of these days. Seems like a good guy and a man with a lot of stories to tell. Seems he and the family organization have done a lot of good things for families and businesses in the Northwest as well as for wildlife.

He's been doin allotta logging the last few years....
Did they buy a third tree farm? I had heard rumors earlier in the year they would be adding to the Centralia and St.Helens Noble. But I've never seen a formal/official write up or article about it. Been wondering if it was another wildfire rumor or if there was something to it.
