CatfishKev Report post Posted yesterday at 01:45 AM Read the OL article, pretty interesting. Seems like the neighbor of the private property he shot it on sure had a real hard on for the hunter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good for him The bull was killed legally- it was shot on private property and he paid a access fee, it was a governor's tag - which allows the holder to hunt anytime and it was killed outside of a general season. - The hunter has killed 80 elk with his bow so he knows what he is doing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was not a Governor tag. Just a raffle tag. He killed it on Dec 31st, last day of his hunt. Got permission to recover it on New years day. He lied to people and told them he was deer hunting but we all do that. He also claims that the land owner never asked for a trespass fee. All done by voice mail. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All done by voice mail. He only lied to the neighbor about it from what I read scared that he would do something to push him out. Completely ok in this situation imo. The VM to the actual landowner which he recorded (smart on his part) stated he was hunting elk. The actual landowner claimed he thought it was for retrieval but the saved VM saved him there. At least from what I read .. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
