Looks like a city of cashmere snow plow to me. Definitely not on the way home. Lol

The rest of the story:

https://www.outdoorlife.com/hunting/casey-brooks-bull-world-record-elk/

Fascinating and really well done by OL on the write up, especially getting the neighbors perspectives. I wish Whitefoot would have gone on the record for this.

So often people are so negative especially when someone kills a record class animal, this really bothers me, we shouldn't berate fellow hunters without just cause and without knowing all the facts. After my previous comments supporting Brooks in that manner, I was contacted by one of Casey's friends who is a member on this forum, he said that Casey appreciated my post and the full story would be coming out publicly in the podcast. It's good to see the full story public to put rumors to rest, including the fact that it was investigated by WDFW! I think Casey detailed the story very well, even the part of giving up on the bull until getting lucky enough to get permission, I can't see anything that I would have done differently if I was in the same position as he was with that tag. He really held the line as a bowhunter, well done!

It's sad to see that some people are doubling down to berate his hunt, that just looks like jealousy. I'm sorry but that's what it looks like! I know its coming so just flame away, but that won't change how it looks!

Good write up! Man there’s some nasty folks out there..

 :yeah:

Thank you for posting this article, Nate.
Very illuminating.
:yeah: To all of it. Great read.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

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

I've read the OL article and listened to the podcast.
Good story and a great Bull.
People can't enjoy others success.
Definitely a lot of skepticism and jealousy.
Kinda sad.

I realize this horse is dead and doesn't need to be beaten anymore, but...
I don't know about jealousy? I think that is painting with too broad a brush.
Skepticism? Post your trophy hunt online and you practically beg for it.
Originally, I did not think much at all about the hunt and story. Just a big bull killed in close proximity to people. Nothing wrong with it, but not exactly an epic adventure.
After reading the OL story- it seems dirty somehow. Reads like Brooks wrote the story himself- lots of accolades. The whole "misunderstanding" by the landowner seems fishy. Straight up honesty would have gone a long way there (reminded me of the Bullwinkle guys creating a murky situation by calling WDFW for clarity on weapon use). But I guess that is how trophy hunting goes these days, usually ends up in speculation and/or litigation.
In any event, he is an accomplished hunter who killed a huge bull. Case closed.

P&Y Rules of fair chase

By the use of electronic devices for attracting, locating or pursuing game or guiding the hunter to such game, or by the use of a bow or arrow to which any electronic device is attached with the exception of lighted nocks and recording devices that cast no light towards the target and do not aid in rangefinding, sighting or shooting the bow. to guide someone to an animal

Are all "Reveal" game cams cellular? If so, then I agree.

Qualifies as electronic device used for locating.

P&Y "might" have a issue with this

P&Y fosters this whole line of thinking by scoring bulls and keeping record books.  Elitist group that has no business pointing fingers.

Good bull, good eating, done!

Seems like a lot of folks here like chichen Dennis.

I don't know what chichen is and I don't care what other people like, it's all jealousy and envy towards someone more succesful than yourself. I'm just pointing it out. Get over it, be an adult about it, and quit trying to make someone else's success look like less because it's not you.  :dunno:

No jealousy, I do wish it had been Aaron, Dustin or KW to harvest it.  I just know it's so common to celebrate legally harvested animals.
