New world record archery bull

what a bunch of elitist self-righteous blowhards on this thread. wash and oregon allow baiting. so what? so do a lot of other states. get over it. it is legal elk that took the dude the whole season to shoot so it couldn't have been to easy. it will probably be crowned the world record. if i had that kind of money i would be a huntin fool too.
 
Does pope and young allow animals to be entered if they are photographed with trail cams? Something about fair chase etc?
Being that “his wife fills the freezer and he fills the walls” would lend me to believe he knows all of the nuance to get his name printed..

And thanks for not asking how or why I stuck out the 2.5hr cam podcast/circle jerk on how awesome we are 🙄
 
I didn’t read every post, and maybe it’s been said, but dang 86 bulls. If the guys 60, and started bow hunting when he was 20, that’s and average of 2 bulls a year for 40 years!
 
To me it is a disgraceful ending to that impressive elk, Stayed alive all his life during the season on public land, not even a gang of "hunters" with trail cameras everywhere and nothing but time could get him killed. Had to do it in a subdivision in his winter ground over apples and hay, while neighbors were feeding him to keep him around to enjoy the wildlife viewing.

Don't understand how people get gratification or a feeling of accomplishment out of that, IMO most true sportsman would only get a sense of guilt.
CJ Alexander would be down with it. But he’s a convicted poacher.

In AZ in '94 he killed a 412 net public, '97 412 gross public, '97 386 gross Rez. His dad killed a 424 gross bull in '97 on the Rez. That's just few pulled out of an old elk book, there are many more. He didn't just kill on the Rez, he's well known for hunting public all over the west for years.

Nothing self-righteous here ...


I see your last post was in favor of banning trail cameras. Is it different when a rich guy puts out a shitload of cameras to track a specific animal? What about when said rich guy uses a trail camera image to mislead a landowner in order to shoot a big animal over a bucket of apples?

By the way, legal or not, baiting is in no way fair chase.
