Anyone else see this?

I stand corrected. That is the number Google AI threw out. I should have known it was hallucinating. It is actually from Arizona when you go to the website and drill down. There is no elk tag listed for Washington on HF.

Change the number in my post and I still stand by it.

That's what he paid for the tag.

We dint know what he paid the home owner for access to the yard.

I share your concerns. The statistical probability of taking so many exceptionally wide bucks seems minuscule to me. As @DFS said genetics maybe? I have never seen a buck wider than about 24” in Montana but maybe we just don’t have the genetics. We had some Wisconsin hunters that would stop in at the family ranch and they had a 29” wide buck harvested off their farm but that was like 2 decades ago and of course no saved pics.

Whats the statistical probability of taking 12 400" elk ?

Growing a quality alfalfa hay to use as bait takes skill.

He wanted it, NAY…. he needed it.
Like a drunk with booze or a junkie with a needle, the grips of HT was just too much…

I’m afraid the strain was more than he could bear.

It’s an incredible looking bull elk managed by the WA G&F. If it was taken legally and within the rules of Fair Chase, I have no problem with it.

This is probably the real interesting part of the story. So, are all these homeowners (probably leased out the whole neighborhood!) claiming it on their 2024 taxes?

I really hope he didn’t think I was serious about that whole check out Rokslide thing

Do you consider baiting wintering animals habituated to humans to be “fair chase”?

I don’t think I had the pleasure of being introduced to HUNTTALK MAN.
