He spent so much money why would he stop at just people. He probably had a helicopter scouting the area to. He spent so much money why would he stop at just people.

He said that the guy who took the bull was paying about 10 people full time to scout the area. Once the bull was spotted the guy was radioed and drove in to take the shot.

Nothing about this kill was true to the sport we call hunting. The facts are that he bought this elk, it should be illegal since he shot it with a rifle and not a muzzleloader like everyone else in that zone had to use for that season. How is it fair he gets to do that when any other person applys for points and dosent even get the chance for years to hunt there. It just shows that money buys you a trophy now. I just think we are setting a bad example for our next generation hunters if we keep allowing "trophys" like this in the record books.

Being a hard working, boot on the ground, self reliant, fair chase hunter... this trophy causes me to stop and ask, "what has hunting come too...? Makes me feel very fortunate to have ground that I can still give my boots a workout on. What's next... using google earth to spot your game? What the heck, the cops over in Europe did, they just busted a pot field grow operation. Don That does not sit well in my gut either.

I fully & entirely agree with Ted & Jane's position regarding world population overcrowding and their perceived need to depopulate by 5 billion to lessen the burden on natural resources. Lets start with Ted & Jane. Y'all go first. :-) But as long as powerful “conservationists” like Ted Turner continue to buy multi-million acre swaths of american wilderness and then lease it out for prize hunting, then what is the point?
