4 days went by and they never showed..
Last time I help somebody like that... on a good note however when I went by their camp the bull they were displaying was not the same bull I showed them. Lol..
They shot a much smaller bull.

It was nice of you to try and help them even though they got another bull. It probably didn't occur to them they were being ungrateful because you'd asked them to come by the camp and show the bull you put them on. I wouldn't get to wound up. There's bigger problems in the woods, Ross.Oh I know.. my hunting partners saw the bull displayed first and said "I thought you showed them a big bull?"
I was like it is.. I showed you guys the video.
I never saw that smaller bull .. oh well

I do nice stuff all the time for people and try to leave it at just that, I did something nice and moved on. Now that being said if someone does something nice for me I try to go out of my way to return the favor and 9 out of 10 times they never expect it and are surprised when I do.
I understand your frustration though.

Thursday of last week I spotted a nice bull, took video ,photos and such. After I come out of my hole I run into a guy who is helping his father in law try to find a bull. The tag holder was a 60 plus gentlemen who drew with Max points and has a bad leg. Knowing his chances ofdrawing again are slim and his condition I share the location of this bull. All I asked in return was if they could bring it by our camp so my friends son could see a bull up close..

I think you still did the right thing, you possibly helped get the guy on an elk that he was happy enough with to pull the trigger.

If there were multiple guys/tags in the same camp it might not have been the two guys the OP talked to that shot the small bull on "display".Thursday of last week I spotted a nice bull, took video ,photos and such.

I cant see turning down a kid that wanted to look at my elk, and I cant see not inviting a kid to come look if I knew of one that wanted to take a look.
My kids always want to see everything my friends and family bring home and they're always wide eyed and inquisitive when looking.

We didn't have elk tags this year in Idaho, I saw some elk, I flagged down a group of guys at a big camp and asked if they had elk tags, they did, I told em about the elk.
A day later the wardens came by our camp...apparently the other camp said "Those guys from Washington are some stand up guys, really good people"...all because I BS'd with em for about 5 minutes.
It never hurts to be friendly. Keep at it Ross...be the change you wish to see in the world. Ok, maybe that was a little over the top :)
