Had this sent me this morning,
((Shot on the north rim in the Kaibab. This guy will be famous now,
but he was to lazy to even go find the buck after he shot it.
After he shot this buck, 200 yards from his truck because he is
too fat to walk, he stopped looking for it because it was too much
effort. He proceeded to go home and only after telling my buddy how
big the buck was, they went back and searched. After a short
time they found the buck and now he is a "big" hero.
Can you detect a small amount of jealousy in my script. We will see
what kind of BS story Monster Muleys writes up, since he drove the
buck up to their headquarters after checking it in to the game and
fish. Turns out the last three holders of the governors tag all
tried to find and kill this buck. That is close to $400,000 spent
to shoot this buck that the Pillsbury boy whacked sitting on his
fat ass in his truck))
Happy hunting.

Sometimes the sun shines where it shouldn't. You take a guy like 300 that hikes his ass off, passes on lots of good deer looking for something to honor the once in a lifetime tag, and then read about some out of shape SOB with more money than sense tripping over his beer belly right into the lap of luck. It happens almost every year and it still makes me nauseous and confused :bash:

http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID6/15904.html
by the captions with the pics...it looks like the guy is trying to say that the pic with the guys face is from colorado, and the pic with the buck in the back of the truck is from AZ.
:chuckle:
i don't see any other story on this buck yet over there, but i haven;t looked too hard either.
-
What a waste. Would love to see a buck like that one of thse days. You got the big part right, but not hero. We'll see what kind of crap ends up in Muley Crazy as well. He can probably turn around and sell those on e-bay for that much. Pretty sickening.
-
Agree, its too bad that buck stepped out in front of such an unethical SOB that can't even track his own deer that is right off the road. >:(
-
Whats up with the pics? The 1st(back of truck) and the2nd (fat guy) are two different deer. Check out the the top left tines its missing a fork/kicker.
Sad fact about money and body fat. Remember OLN channel they had a show about a fat ass from Texas that went for a whitey hunt and shot a 190+ class non-typical buck with I think 27 points. That tub-o-lard was in jeans and a button up shirt, sweating his ass off just making a 100 yrd stalk, gets a buck of a lifetime.
Kills me to see that. Ive hunted 2 years in Wa., put on prob. 60-70 miles on foot and Ive had tag sandwich both years.
-
Looks like the same deer to me. I think the different angle has got you screwed up. I went back and looked at it pretty hard.
-
:chuckle: Whats also sad is he's going to do a European Mount and than hang it on his shed! :chuckle:
-
Yeah it happens but those who hunt hard kill way more big animals then people like this.
-
Whats also sad is he's going to do a European Mount and than hang it on his shed!
Thats a shame, a buck like that deserves a full mount.
-
that is sad. i cant believe he was so out of shape that he just quit looking for it like that no matter how big the animal is.
-
same guy was prolly feeling lucky so he stopped on the way home to sue mcdonalds. :puke:
-
i cant believe someone of that character could kill an animal like that. he has let the whole hunting community down. i just cant believe it. sad thing is this probably happens every year. i know i see it during elk season every year. he doesn't deserve to even hunt in my opinion. >:(
-
I say same buck also... I was crucified earlier last month complaining about road hunting nto really being hunting. Now look what this guy will do for road hunting...
People like this just goes to show that you can sit in your truck in camo all day and still shoot an animal like that. I hope they do not play it off as a great hunter because he was not hunting and did not do that magnificent animal justice...
-
that sucks...but that is life....
nice deer
-
It's starting to sound like MM right here. :o
-
I dont think he's fat!! Just big boned! :P
-
Sure looks like the same rack to me, just different angles.
-
Ever seen a fat skeleton???
-
Whats also sad is he's going to do a European Mount and than hang it on his shed!
Thats a shame, a buck like that deserves a full mount.
edmondshunter, I was just joking about him doing a Euro mount and hanging it on his shed. Though the way the deer went it's bout just as bad.
-
is there somethin wrong with shootin a buck when your off the side of the road?? i bet ya atleast half the guys on here have done that before. granted i dont like to shoot deer when im just on a road, never have yet, but who on here wouldnt shoot that buck if they saw it and they was on a road. i guarantee no one would say "nah im to close to the road to shoot this buck"

LOL true, but this dude was too lazy to track the dang thing. Looks to me like he is always road hunting though. doesnt look like he evr gets off the road.
-
Right place, right time......poor follow-up. Road hunting or not, he did what two other hunter in last 2 yrs could not do....kill a whopper.....pardon the pun.
-
"i guarantee no one would say "nah im to close to the road to shoot this buck"
You may be right houndhunter but I seriously doubt anyone on here would drive off and leave it because they were too freaken fat and out of shape to go after it. Sorry bud, the only excuse would be if it went off a cliff into a canyon and he couldnt get it out by himself. I'm curious to see if he has any field photos, I'm betting they are of the guys that went and retrieved it, while he watched from the road.
-
Its easy to make fun of a guy thats 125 pounds over weight but he did kill the biggest muley in the World this year and maybe he knew what he was doing sitting in his truck at the end of some nondescript dirt road that didnt look like any buck would call home and that every other hunter that had a tag for that unit drove past.
Not looking for the buck is a different story that makes him a fat lazy pig :chuckle:..............
-
Exactly Passion, good for him for dropping that toad, the problem I have is if he couldnt even walk over to put his tag on it. Its one thing to be handicapped its another to not do it because your too lazy. Who knows what the whole story is, maybe there is a logical explaination. If its how it was posted then I say thats :bs: Just my opinion, everyones entitled to one.
-
dont have a prob with him shooting it either. yeah im jealous but as said i do have prob with the story of being too fuggin lazy to tag the deer.
-
It's starting to sound like MM right here.
Wrong is wrong, it doesn't matter if its MM, here, or duckworld USA. If the story is true, and I have no reason to think it isn't than that bites. I'm glad he went back and found it. WHAT a waste that would have been. I sure think I'd have a better *censored* eatin grin on my face if I justshot one of the largest deer of all time.
-
"WHAT a waste that would have been."
OMG!!!! That never even crossed my mind Bone, can you imagine? What if he didn't realize what he had just shot and left it thinking it was too far off I will try to find one a little closer. Someone would have found it thinking it was winter kill this spring.
-
I'm not sure of Arizonas rules n picking up skulls either. That one might be kind of hard to smuggle home. :chuckle:
-
Thats what I was saying Bone, nobody knows if the stories true and were jumpin all over the dude. I Just hate seeing people get ripped.
-
Not jumping on the dude. It is a magnificent buck. And good on him for winning the lottery.
Also never said i wouldn't shoot it from a dirt road, but i wouldn't consider it hunting. I know kind of bad but that guy looks like the guy that spends a thousand dollars on camo and never gets out of his truck, just drives around all day in Camo in his truck... Kind of a laugher
-
i would have shot the deer from the truck also. if the story is true though i don't have any respect for this individual. people who do that sort of thing don't deserve things like that. i am a firm believer that it is better to be lucky than good. i don't usually like to jump to conclusions but for some reason someone doing something like that really pisses me off.
-
I just checked and it still hasn't shown up on MM, hard to believe those guys havnt posted it up yet.

no story to go with it, but there's a score and a unit.
anybody a forum member of muleycrazy?
-
I'm doing something wrong ... :dunno: Why am I running every other day and lugging a pack up mt Peak?
I gotta go I need to go train for next year I'm gonna start by throwing a pepperoni & extra cheese death disc in the oven! :EAT:
-
I think that ripping the guy because he didn't go check up on his shot is justified. I think that ripping him because he is overweight is BULLSH&T!! Most people would have shot that buck just off the road if they were given the chance!! Also I have to read the original post to see, but I don't think it said that he shot from inside the truck like some are insinuateing. I'm overweigt as some of you have seen on some of my other post's, but I get out and walk the hills just like the rest of you.
Bone can tell you how steep and rugged the Sawtooths are at the North end of Lake Chelan and I've hunted that country for years as well as a place closer to Bones stompin grounds. A place called "Hard Scramble".
I can just hear some of the things that would be posted on here if I were to post a picture of myself with a large animal from those areas. And I've taken a few at both locations. I'm 51 yo and if ya'll want to flame on then come on. I got "Big FAT Shoulders".
I'm glad a regular guy shot that hog instead of some rich guy that buys the Govs tag. Good for him. Buy the way. I'm sure that we know plenty of "skinny" guys that haven't followed up on their shots also. I know of a few personally. How about you. Or is it just fat people that do that?
-
Right place at the right time. Sometimes it happens to those who put in the time and effort and sometimes the only way to figure it out is to call it 'Luck'.
Don't be too tough on the guy because of his weight. He may have a big deer but he is also probably much more likely than most of us to have a big heart attack too.
Hopefully that animal will be enjoyed by many who get a chance to see it.
-
"I'm overweigt as some of you have seen on some of my other post's, but I get out and walk the hills just like the rest of you."
Kent Hunter, If anything I said offended you then whole heartedly appologize for that. My point on the entire post was that the guy was too (over weight, fat, out of shape, lazy, pick one) to go find it, to me thats BS. As you said, you get out and walk the hills like everyone else, that puts you in a completely different class than this guy, and should not think anything into my comments, everyone else will have to speak for themselves. Again, no offense meant!!!
-
No problem Huntnphoo. No offense taken. It just seemed like people were hammering him about his weight when what he did that was totally wrong was not check up on his shot. That is what sucks about the story, his laziness!!
-
I think that ripping the guy because he didn't go check up on his shot is justified. I think that ripping him because he is overweight is BULLSH&T!!
Kent, you're right I'm sure there are skinny people with the same bad ethics. I think most are trying to say that if his wieght is the contributing factor in his poor decision then should he be out there doing it in the first place? I'm sorry if I offended anyone I wasn't tryin too, I know some big guy's that can get around and hike like a mad man and they would'nt give up so easy.
Most people would have shot that buck just off the road if they were given the chance!!
I agree with you ... I know I would have! I don't have any problem with him doing that, heck I joke all the time after about an 8 mile hike that I'm really just trying to chase them back towards the truck so I don't have to pack em so far!
I'm glad a regular guy shot that hog instead of some rich guy that buys the Govs tag.
I am too, but I would like to hear more of the story though it sounds like he gave up on it awful soon !
-
You guys know how easy it is for someone to take a look at those two pictures and make up a story? For T-Roy to even put this thread up to begin with without know ANY facts at all is bush.
I think it is even more F'd up for some of you guys to rip the dude in the picture because of some one paragraph *censored* story someone put up for every one on the net to see. I highly doubt we will know the real story, and unless you do......:stfu:!! In my opinion, one of the ugliest things in hunting is jealousy. Sad to see some of your guys' true colors........
-
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, you dont honestly think that writing STFU is going to keep me from expressing mine do you?
When I read the post T-Roy put up I was under the impresion that the person that sent him the email knew him, giving him a reliable source to base this on.
As far as I know there are only a couple people on this site that I have met. Like most forums we have to take what is posted by others and decide for ourselves, based on several factors, whether or not to accredit their post.
-
these are simply comments on the story that we have recieved, whether it's speculation or not. ;)
-
In the end I'm just glad someone talked some sense into about going back after it (overweight or not) I'm happy it wasn't wasted and we get to look at a magnificent buck! :tup:
