Brian Latturner's MONSTER buck

[mfllood3800]

I watched a few of his you tube videos. He is a character. Seems totally relaxed and casual. Did anyone see his goat video, at like 8 yards, he didn't shoot it, cause it was too tame.

Mfllood I did read about his goat hunt. It was he first time I’d ever heard of someone doing that. Can’t fault a guy for not going against his conscience

Oh the irony. "it's unethical" some say what Mr. latturner is doing.....this, coming from residents who live in a state that won't allow DIY hunters (hikers and fisherman are okay) in the wilderness without a guide or resident escort. Hmmmmmm

This.

He’s a big buck killer for sure!

Yep when I saw the footage, "He was talking to the goat at like 20 yards", then it fed to him closer. I was thinking man, cant shoot that. And he didn't- I thought that was pretty cool of him.

What a buck!

Was this buck taken on public land?

Fantastic buck.
Not sure if anyone saw the story on him passing on the mountain goat too.... personally, I think that was really cool.


edit: just saw it was mentioned twice up above lol.
Reading helps...

I don't support Latturner either and am totally against the selling of GPS locations, there is already enough advantages for the average hunter now adays to make things easier than they used to be. It's nothing but greed to me, there is nothing ethical about it, not fair chase, gives hunting a bad name.

I don't hunt guided and I would feel like I was cheating if I purchased a scouting package, but that's me and that's the way I prefer to do things. Whether or not you're preferences run against scouting packages or guided hunts, he did his own scouting. He did his own DIY self-guided hunt. It's one heck of a deer. If a buddy, a neighbor, a ranch hand or a backpacker gives you a heads up about a nice buck, is that outside of fair chase? Or is it different because it's free? I enjoyed Robby's book because I enjoy reading about hunting. If I gained any insight, that could potentially be an unfair advantage, making some aspect of the hunt easier, right? Fortunately, I received it as a gift. My conscience is clear.

I just personally feel that selling an animals location is not right, there are enough human advantages in the hunting world now. Go read a book I don't care but if your selling animals locations for profit it just bothers me, people aren't paying for meat they are paying for antlers. More people are going to start doing it since they can see they can make money off of it and then it will be a real issue. Everyone seems to think it's fine so l might as well get in the game.

it it doesn't matter what others do......do what you want. I get crap all the time for being "too ethical."

...people aren't paying for meat they are paying for antlers.

That’s not completely accurate. I can’t speak for the dozens of other scouting businesses out there, but the average guy we get is far more interested in improving his chances at punching a tag than the big antlers. Most are pretty good hunters who just don’t live in the West or are new to Western hunting.

Also, this type of service is nothing new. They were around in the 80’s.

If you don’t like them, that’s all good with me. We don’t have to agree.

People can have their opinions about whatever they choose. However it seems to me more often than not sensationalism takes over logic in most issues that are as polarizing as this one. My personal opinion is that there are other issues regarding deer herds and their health that account for a WAY WAY WAY bigger impact on the herd. And I choose to focus my attention on those issues. I am way more worried about winter range development, Highway mortality, lack of predator management and predator introduction, poaching, harassing the animals during "shed hunting" season etc. I don't see 2-10 people a year in region G who might know of some big bucks home range because they bought info having a serious effect on the region. Also I am betting every big bucks info Brian sold or traded, probably had 10-15 guys who new about the buck already anyways. Guys get after it these days. If you think that scouting packages are unethical that is fine. You are free to feel that way. But consider this, is it any different than going with a friend who knows a new unit that you don't and offering to pay for the fuel and food? Because really that's about all the compensation these guys are making off of it. Just for a point of reference, I am a DIY hunter and don't buy or sell info.

Damn, this is a seriously great take.

The issue of the impact that shed hunting can have on western states deer and elk is something that I'd never thought of until seeing it pop up more and more on rs over the last year or so. Unintended consequences are often the worst kind.

Absolutely. I couldn't care less aboout this guy selling info to people that are willing to pay. But I certainly enjoy not having to deal with greenies or folks from CA when I'm elk hunting. It's amazing. If it matters to you so much, put your money where your mouth is and move. Plenty of wind to go around in March. But you won't, because bitching and moaning is way easier.

Lotta emotional posts in this one...

Congrats to Brian on a STUD buck, I enjoyed the video a lot. Thanks for posting Robby.

Jealousy shows real easy. Congrats to Mr. Monster Muley.

Considering this. How selfish is he (and Robby for that matter) by hosting a free site that is mostly DIY hunters sharing information and helping each other (with a few there to bitch about everything...) my goodness, the are dirty cheaters aren’t they


I’ve got max points for deer in Wyoming. It is very very difficult to put in the time from 1500 miles away to justify all those points. I don’t want to hire a guide. I will spend a couple/few years scouting and learning my unit of choice before I do cash those points in. If I can find a guy like Robby or Brian that can provide some information to shorten my learning curve or even confirm what I have found, I am probably going to do that.

 

[realunlucky]

You should offer to put in with Brian seems like that's standard practice to getting some info and him drawing a region G tag every year

I agree with you these tags aren't easy to draw and as a non resident it's a tough prospect to figure it out and do the tag justice. I've heavily considered paying for a scouting package when I draw region G hell with point creep doubtful I'll ever draw it again
