And block roads to make sure their client is successful, that's what I hear anyway.

Post by: elkinrutdrivemenuts on November 14, 2017, 04:36:34 PM: I always thought they were just a brand and profited of tracking down big bucks and being there when the kill happens. Didn't realize they were actual guides.

That hunt has lost some of it's mystique in my eyes now that all of instagram knows every buck on the island by name. :twocents:

Post by: meatwhack on November 14, 2017, 07:22:46 PM: Mossback does a lot of hunts for free if it’s in a high quality area just so he can have photo and video rights for it because there’s money in that too.

Post by: snake on November 14, 2017, 07:38:34 PM: I am not sure how much this specific tag costed the hunter, in addition to any agreement he may have had with mossback. I know some of the Antelope island tags have been auctioned off for more than $250k.

Post by: jackelope on November 14, 2017, 08:23:00 PM: Was going to say $300-400k
