POTENTIAL NEW WORLD RECORD ELK?

[98s1lightning]

According to google the 2024 Washington Governors tag #1 Elk permit was auctioned for $510,000.00

Its really a dang shame hunting has been so monetized

I can't believe these numbers but I have to

I looked at some of these Western States with these point systems and lottery draw tags. Pages on pages of rules and regs to make your head spin around.
They should have started the literature w "your gonna need a fat wallet and a detailed planner/scheduler before you begin; maybe hire someone to schedule for you so you don't miss a date and lose all of your $ invested"
O ya, nevermind, they don't care!

The guy hunted his tail off four 4 months. By the time he caught up to it it had moved to winter range in town. What ya gonna do? Get farmers permission and legally shoot it next to the barn or eat your tag you bought $100,000 plus in raffle tickets to get?

How the !@#$ do people draw that many tags? Hell, I have been trying for 15 years to draw a tag

You don't always HAVE to draw an elk tag, there are OTC ones available.

Buy lots of raffle tags in multiple states ( like $100,000 + worth)

Congrats to Casey Brooks on taking a world class bull., a record that is unlikely to be broken at any time in our lifetimes. However, it seems like a shame to have taken this great bull out of the gene pool.

They will all die at some point, pretty sure he has sired his share of replacements.

Spider Bull is 476"? And taken with a rifle. This blows away the archery record and beats spider bull as well. The score sheet is out there for public to view.

From my understanding it was a raffle tag and not even the governor's tag. Regardless it was put to good use!

AHH and people seem to forget how the spider came to meet his demise

Cash is king . Not saying that for sure I am just guessing for that many . I am thinking outfitter tags? What is everyone else thinking
