Get em where ya find em I guess!
kinda like to know all the facts on the hunt if its going to be a new WR.

How much was spent on raffle tickets?
Was this an urban area elk that was baited into an area it could be killed?

Sure appears to be a bull that was human friendly.

Yeah I'll refrain from passing judgement, sometimes hunting isn't as romantic as we want it to be. One of the biggest deer my brother has ever killed was crossing a road every day at the same time. He sat the ditch and arrowed it the 1st time out.

I normally wouldn’t care but since it’s a poss world record I would like the details.

I mean kudos to the guy if he dumped thousands into raffle tickets and spent thousands in trespass fees. Casey has killed like 15 bulls over 400” which almost seems impossible under normal hunting circumstances.

Embarrassing and I’d guess the real story is never really told. I’m betting those involved didn’t want people seeing those pictures.

The world record Roosevelt was seemingly just as bad with lots of pictures of it standing in yards

It does make me question why the record books accept them when they claim to be pillars for fair chase and hunting ethics

Where did you find those photos?? Killing that bull over bait, or in a neighborhood being habituated around humans, is going to lose all credibility for me. The Montana archery record bull is what it’s about.

The bull wintered in the low country but spent the vast majority of its life in some rough country that’s open to hunting. There’s always some jealous people who will try and make it less than.

It was shot over bait, but I’m not sure how you’d kill that bull otherwise late season in crunchy snow.

Not many people knew that bull existed, contrary to what you hear on face book, if people knew there’d been every major outfitter after it.

I’m glad he had several years to spread those genes.

Killed over bait and humanized? Yeah, just like the 800lb black bears here in NE Pa.....maybe records but ...not really!! Does absolutely nothing for me.

Kind of like our huge bulls here in Pa.....very much humanized and not so hard to hunt. Many have been in my friend's yard up there the night before the season opened...LOL. Trophy my ass.

It wasn’t humanized, the main shit talker on facebook is a tribal member from the Yakima tribe with 3 pictures making all the claims.

The guys trying to promote his YouTube channel and ego.

I have a pile of opinions, none of which are politically correct. He’s probably just jealous he didn’t get the chance to spotlight it or shoot it at a feeding station.

This time of year a vast majority of bull elk are "humanized". People have moved into their winter range, but the elk still come. Spring they all go back into the backcountry. WDFW even has feeding stations setup where you can go watch them like it's a zoo. Its just whats happened to elk habitat in Washington.

Shoot this afternoon I'm going to go find our local bull herd to take some pics. Probably going to be in the same guys yard they were last year since they were there last weekend.

This is the reality of wintering bull elk in most of WA state...

A tribal member talking trash about how an elk was killed, that’s hilarious.

Sounds like just another case of both parties trying to out promote themselves on the internet. This is why people should stop posting their trophy’s for the world to see and judge. I’d shoot that bull all day long in my backyard or not if it were legal. But posting the score sheet online was beyond retarded. No fair chaise if true over bait, so P&Y better not enter it.
