Keep it in the scope
Huge Elk!

That's like sitting on your counter waiting for your dog to come and eat his chow...then shooting him??? 
Somewhat unrelated but still part of the whole BS is how soooo many take these BS photos to make them look bigger than they really are. Don't get me wrong these are some huge monsters but the photos are always taken with the people much futher back behind the animal than they need to be as to make the animal look bigger than it really is. I hate all these trick photo angle, sit, stand, hold out away from you as far as you can photos.
was this the one that was shot in indian canyon here in utah?

If I had that kind of money laying around, I'd try to book as many guided hunts that I could. There are pics of that bull alive somewhere on the net and it shows a guy hand feeding it. If a guy shoots an animal on a game farm that IS NOT HUNTING AT ALL! If he calls himself a hunter he is a LIAR, A CHEAT and I have no respect for him. Anybody can shoot a tame elk that wanders the same acreage everyday without seeing a wild elk it's entire life. That elk was not afraid of man and in fact was accustomed to them approaching him, heck, he could have just stabbed it with an arrow! As a real hunter myself, seeing photos and reading stories like this just make me sick!
I don't care how much money he has, he is still a loser! Probably the same guy who spends 36,000 on a turbo Apex and calls himself a rider!
Rant over!
Well said!
pretty lame... i could spend 127 gs on alot better crap!

not on these
I understand where your coming from Sambo but....Not with these toads!
These are Massive Bulls and the only way to get em that way is the Hi-Fence!

But, they are worthless. Boone & Crocket, Pope & Young, and other record books won't even talk to the "hunter". Of course they are huge. Food is easily and readily available, absolutely no predators and there is nobody to bother them. I cannot believe that that guy even thinks he has bragging rights. There is nothing to be proud of at all. He didn't pack in many miles through all kinds of nasty terrain, didn't wake up at 3am, didn't carry a 30-40 pound pack and he probably didn't even dress the poor thing out! I can honestly tell you that I am more proud of my 300 bull because I had to work for it. Chit, I am proud of my spike bull, my 4 point and my 5 point. Why? Because I worked for them. Not many folks can say that they shot their elk from 20 or 30 yards!
All that lazy POS did was drive up to the ranch in his overpriced SUV, write a check and shoot a target. Thats all it is! That bull probably just stood there looking at the guy wondering what he was doing and POP! Textbook 20 yard shot into the 12 ring! Chit, my wife coulda done (with the exception of spending 120 large) that and she doesn't shoot much!
I shot a small basket 6 (white tail) this year and it was my first rifle buck...I am very pround. Learn your terrain and shot to kill

I agree PJ!
I understand that PJ, what I was stating to Sambo is that those pictured Bulls ARE really as big as the pic shows-MASSIVE!!! Have you ever seen a 400inch Bull in the wild and had a chance at him, I have! Hi-Fence Hunters are NOT Hunters, they are bogus storytellers usually full of BS and coldcash.

What is sad is then there business gets successful and then they buy more land...then we are out. Then we have to worry about the liberals. YUCK!
I would hang my head in utter shame If I had done what this wanna be hunter did. I wouldn't even want the photo
Hunting is walking, looking, out smarting, following, killing, processing, ETC.
That as% hat drove out from a warm cabin with a bunch of others, saw it probably licking a salt lick. Then pulled the trigger and grabbed the camera
Yahoo what a winner!
I am more proud of any 1 animal I have shot then I would be to have that rack and have to tell the storey of killing at the game farm.
Paying to hunt is sport killing not hunting!

i can't stand these "canned" hunts... i've got no problem with outfitters that will guide you on private/leased land as long as we're not talkin about a canned style hunt though...
I'm thinkin of doin a guided hunt in a fdew years with my boys, take 'em out to WY for antelope or somethin when they get legal age (about 5 yrs from now)...

How many acres are considered a canned hunt? In England they have thousands but they are fenced still. My opinion still wrong.
IMO, if the area is fenced in, no matter how large, it is still a "canned" hunt! If the elk, deer or any other game animal is only allowed to travel in a certain boundary, it will be VERY EASY to find the patterns that they follow day in and day out. Especially if there aren't any predators, danger or adversity that the animal will encounter. They will travel the quickest, easiest route without any concerns for safety, thus, instinct will go by the wayside and they won't travel with caution. Plus, if humans are always there taking pictures for brochures and feeding them they will not have that natural fear of people that the elk we know and love have. You won't have to worry about getting "winded" or accidentally stepping on that twig and spooking 1/2 the forest!
i could care less about the acreage... as long as the animals can come and go as they please without restraint to keep them on the land (ala High Fences) then its fair chase in my eyes...
At least there weren't any fences in the pics
The sad thing is he'll take that bull back to NY or Florida ect...and be a hero (nothing against people in those states, just an example...)
