This is a forum not a "CASE".

Obviously their are physical limitations at the hunter's age.

If you haven't noticed this thread is about a particular case. And whether Todd is disabled or has physical limitations affects this case how? Not at all from what I can see!

I have read that he's a handicapped hunter, What is his disability & does he have a sticker?

Curious how that's relevant to this case? Or were you just curious about that?
Was thinking disabled get special privileges. Not sure it would pertain to the case.
I have Man Chit to do

Please keep that in mind moving forward.

They do. Privileges like shooting from a vehicle, special permits, etc. Not shooting bulls in closed units.

Is there a shoulder mount of this Bullwinkle Bull to view somewhere? With all the attention he should be put in the Smithsonian Museum or somewhere?

I understand how difficult it can be for the mods to stay on top of this. But it would be a shame to punish the majority because of the minority. What about just coming down a little harder on the offenders?

There have been entire threads on this topic deleted, there have been multiple members banned, probably a dozen warnings thrown out and multiple posts in this thread warning others.
Not sure how much more we can do to get folks to cooperate. We all have jobs, lives, families, etc. We don't get paid to do this contrary to what might be popular belief. We are not babysitters and the adults on here participating in this thread should be able to realize that. If they can't, I'm afraid we can't help.

Cant argue with that! Unfortunately I believe that the whole objective of some people on here is to get the thread deleted.

I personally don't see any value of keeping this open.  The same people keep repeating the same "facts", same theories as to why this happened, theories on what was going through peoples minds, and even speculating on the mental health of the folks involved. 

However, money is to be made by internet page views, and this topic, along with other useless threads like "Bigfoot", "Word Association Game" and "Chain Reaction Game", all generate consistent numbers of views, and money.  I can't blame anyone for keeping them going, despite their uselessness.

I normally agree with you on most everything, Dave...but I gotta disagree on this one. I don't see a problem with a few threads where folks are having a good time and not starting trouble or endlessly complaining about things. The last 3 threads you mentioned are the ones I'm referring to. This isn't exactly a cash cow for anyone. What I mean by that is I'm pretty sure this forum barely makes enough money as it stands for Dale to not have to pay out of pocket to keep it up and running.

I can say that I have gone full circle on this one because of all of the dialogue.  There are those that are hard set one way or the other but there is a lot going on here if you can filter through it all.

First I started out thinking no way would he shoot a bull in a closed unit.  I argued that moving the bull before field dressing was no biggie, it was probably a request of the landowner.  Then the confirmation that it was in a closed unit.  Then the rumors of a phone call.  Each step of the way I have had a different opinion on what might have happened.

I think more than anything, this should be learning experience for everyone to not jump to conclusions and always be mindful of what you are doing and how it could be viewed and interpreted by others.  Not only by those in your circle but other hunters outside your circle and non hunters.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
