436-4/8 points bull elk out of eastern washington

I guess this is elk hunting when you have money, a tough hunt as he puts it.
“When I got into camp that night, my outfitter and guide mentioned that they had seen the bull before I arrived but that he was a long way off, and if he stayed where he was, it was going to be a tough hunt. I knew there was simply no way to know where he would be the next morning. Anxious and prepared for whatever was in store for the first day of my hunt, I went to bed excited, anxious and nervous…and as usual, I didn’t sleep much.
We left camp in our pickup around 5:20 the next morning, and within 30 minutes, my guide Corey Reynard spotted a large group of elk feeding on an open hillside about a
half mile from the road
. While we waited in the pickup for the sun to come closer to the horizon so we would have enough daylight to get a better look on that clear eastern Washington September morning, Corey had the binocs up and excitedly said, “I can’t believe it, that’s him! I’ve never seen him up here on this open ridge and he’s got a bunch of cows. We’d better get moving.”
A 15-minute stalk ensued
and a good piece of shooting by Dan had the bull down early on the first day of the hunt. He had planned to stay upwards of a month or longer if necessary to find the bull whose notoriety had drifted far beyond the mountains of Washington where he was hunting.

yep, that is the one. 15 min stalk was all he had to do for that. I read more about the guy and he hunt all over AZ on two of the big reservations down there, holds two other record bulls.

Why the negativity? It was legal. An amazing specimen of a Washington bull taken on the governor's tag, which is supposed to pump a bunch of cash into the elk management effort. He didn't say it was a tough hunt, he said if the bull stayed where it was the day before it would be tough. Since the guide says he'd never seen him on that open hillside before, the bull obviously moved overnight...
So, why the negative commentary 5 years after the bull was killed?

just figured a bull like that would have more of a story to it. I read other stories of trophy bulls that had months of effort put into them. not trying to be neg about it, I cant believe a 436 bull has a 15 min stalk and thats it.

I'm sure he put months of effort into earning that cash. Same thing in my book. It's just were he chooses to direct his efforts, towards elk hunting in this case. What a lucky guide.

The story of that bull is like 5 years old. Dan does a lot for conservation in this state and others. The negativity towards this bull and this guy is unfounded. His hunts are all legit, legal and on the up and up which can't be said for some of the others doing these sorts of hunts.
Let it go already.

To be all honest with everyone on here. I really don't think I could kill a bull like that. I'd be too awww
struck a would have to be slapped back to reality. The sound of the slap alone would send him to the next county.

People will hunt depending on their resources. If I had the resources to go after musk ox, I probably would. Trip to Africa to bag the Big 5, you bet. I'm unsure as to whether I'd hire guides to locate and follow a bull around, but if I were making that much money, I probably wouldn't have time to scout. Nice bull. Happy faces. That's some of what hunting is about.

Yeah the shooter should have passed on that bull! Too easy and close to the road! He should have hiked in a couple miles in some nasty stuff and found another bull that would have a better story to tell. Can't believe he would shoot such a big bull so close to the road!

I'd shoot that bull as fast as I could get out of the truck and legally off the road. Monster.
