I guess it would be nice to have so much dough that $200-300K means nothing. Nice looking ram though.

What's with the negative tone towards people who are extremely successful. Is it just jealousy? We all make choices in life.

Some people choose to work their butt off and take risks which lead to huge success. Some people choose to live in a place that offers less opportunity for earning but more opportunity for hunting. I know I tend to be jealous of both sometimes.

Great ram. Happy for the guy and sure he worked hard for what he has.

He has not "worked his butt off" though...(pun intended)

I can’t get the link to open, sounds like a great ram though.

Honestly, don’t care what the man does with his money. I’m sure I’d so the same if I was in his position!

 

[NRA4LIFE]

Jealous? No. I could afford a hunt like that. I just choose not to.

Wait till you see the whopper he is likely to kill in Colo this year.

 

[mike.adams.467]

What a great trophy.

 

[Cameron.25]

I dont understand the negativity his hunts always attract either. If i was him I'd probably do the same shit

Can you elaborate on this?

I think a bunch of the negativity started with him after the AZ elk hunt. It was kind of a shyte show all around. Lots to pick apart on that one. He seems like a nice guy so hopefully he learned a thing or two about the optics of his hunts after that hunt.

Really? You don't get it?

It's optics. You've got a guy dumping 300k for a tag, hiring a dozen guys to find his animal, he goes and shoots it. Then the pics with all the hired hands, extended family, etc.

It's off putting for many sportsmen. Is the money going to a good cause? Probably. Does it look good? Not really.

In essence, it's easy to dislike, even if it's justifiable.

He purchased the Colo auction tag for $600k and there is a monumentally giant ram that he will be first in line to try to hunt.

He bought the gov tag. There is a band of rams on a private ranch that has the likely new state record ram, and he paid for access to the ranch, there are pics out there of the band, it looks like more than one ram in the bunch is pushing 200 inches…

He purchased the Colo auction tag for $600k and there is a monumentally giant ram that he will be sitting in a comfy camp, waiting for one of the (plethoria of) guides to locate and wake him up to notify him' so he can strool up and shoot it.

Fixed it for you.

Don’t forget the trespass fee which is reportedly $300K? If so it’s just shy of a Million Dollar Ram.

And that’s exactly why the AZGFD Commission voted to get rid of the auction tags in AZ. The everyday Sportsmen first, $$$ second. Just as it should be IMO.

Hunts like this are what helps put sheep hunts out of reach for a lot of people.

Only the ultra wealthy have access to hunts like this.

I ain’t mad at him for his success, I just hate what some hunting is seeming to become; following some European countries where only the wealthy can afford to hunt at all.

Hunts like this is what pays to keep sheep on the mountain. They are looking for resons to die and are not cheap to keep atound
