World Record Mule Deer Poached!!!

MortgageMan · May 8, 2007

ok, so the subject doesn't fit this post but it did get your attention, didn't it? I got to thinking the other day about what I would do if.....

Let's Say -

You had all the money in the world....
You could hunt mule deer anywhere you wanted to....
You could afford any guide you wanted....
You could use any weapon you wanted.....
But, you had to hunt during the normal seasons.

What would you do???? (Let's hear it)

(I did a search on this and didn't find any results. Sorry if this has been gone over before, It's just for fun anyway!!)

I would put in for every primo hunt everywhere out west every year and hunt public land without any guides. I would also pay to have my family and hunting buddies on most of these hunts.

I think I see what you're after here. What if we spice this up a bit and say there are NO "governors tags" to be purchased? Let's say that, other than Mexico and maybe landowner tags, the guy with "all the money in the world" also has to apply with everyone else. What would you do?

257Tony · May 9, 2007

Thats easy, I would get a NE Utah tag, and hunt Red Cloud loop with a spear. Bessy would guide me and we would kill a whopper 1x0 on the last day

Somebody didn't like bouncing betty

hogliver · May 9, 2007

Boy, Robert, you nailed it right there. All you need is a little more money to be a world class jackass.

Yeah, but I think that still takes a little of the fun out of it. Even if I could buy a governors tag, I'd be way more satisfied if I drew the tag instead of bought it, and if I did it DIY. As others have said, I'd use my money to apply for all the great hunts in every Western state, knowing that each year I'd probably get at least a couple of sweet hunts. And if I didn't get drawn, I'd spend my cash on packhorses and wall tents and get way back in the wilderness areas on some OTC tags. I believe there are critters on public lands in every western state that have never seen a human - I want to be their first.

manny15 · May 10, 2007

AS BoBcat stated, but I think we already have people doing it right now these days anyways!

DidIDraw · May 10, 2007

The one thing that money would hopefully buy is extra time to scout and hunt. Apply for every good western tag every year then spend the summer scouting and the fall hunting. I think that a trophy is equal to the time, effort and excitement that one puts into it regardless of the size of the antlers.

I would probably also break down and buy hunts in Mexico and Canada just to have the experience in those places even though the scouting and hunting knowledge of the area would come from the guide.

chambero · May 10, 2007

If I suddenly came into money and could quit my job, I'd get whatever tags I could get hold of on short notice and lay out an intinerary that would allow me to leave Texas at the end of August and not come back home until right before Thanksgiving. I'd spend the whole fall hunting and fishing and backpacking the mountain states for whatever species I could - deer, elk, bear, birds, whatever.

I'd enjoy every minute of it but would be ready to get back home to my family. The size of any kills would have little to do with the overall memory of a trip like that.

I remember reading an article in Field and Stream back in college about a couple of buddies that did that in the late 60s or early 70s immediately before having to go into the Army. One didn't come back from Viet Nam.

polarbear · May 10, 2007

Forget special tags, I would buy up a ton of land in different states and grow my own! I'm not talking high fences, just great feed, isolation and no hunting pressure.

Ultra liberal, wolf loving, illiterate, gay, hippie midgets on crack piss me off!!!!

bobcatbess · May 10, 2007

tufferthandug!!!

I PROBABLY WOULDN'T POST PICTURES OF THE ANIMALS I "BOUGHT"!!!

I'M A LITTLE TOUCHY WITH PICTURES!!!

I'M WAY PROUDER OF THE SMALLER ANIMALS I'VE LET GO & A FEW I'VE TOOK THE POOR-BOY WAY!!!

WHEN I'M IN THE FIELD OR ON THE MOUNTAIN LOOKING AT AN ANIMAL ITS BECAUSE I GOT MYSELF THERE BY MYSELF,IT WASN'T MONEY!!!

AND HOGLIVER CAN KISS MY TAIL!!!

THE ONLY bobcat!!! }> }> }>

eelgrass · May 10, 2007

I like Pbears idea. I think it would be the ultimate to have a nice big place to work with. Check out this guys operation here in NE CAlifornia. If I had the money this is what I'd do. This would give a guy a reason to get up in the morning!

What I'd do if i were a mulit billionair

i'd start buying the whole state of wyoming then i'd evict everyone i don't like first then i'd evict buzz and all the demacrats librals tree huggers and wolves and wolf lovers then wantta be wolf hunter.
i'd raise my own deer and elk and take all the republican wyoming residents out for the bucks and bulls of thair lifetimes.
we would stop raising cattle and growing wheat just to show the rest of the nation what farmers and ranchers really do for the world. we would raise all corn and give it to ethenal plants.
anyone who thinks we should give up in irac would be hung for treason and aiding and abetting the enemy.
a wanted dead or alive poster would be put out on rosie with a substancial bounty.
hillary would be banned from even dreaming of wyoming.
a fence would be built to keep out illegle alians and demacrates.
enstead of oil wells we would put in wind generator just so i could install them in my spare time{i think it would be cool to put them up more fun then high mast lighting and traffic signals}.
can't help that one i like working some times when the project is BIG.
i'd hire oil company's then not pay them they like to do to contractors that work for them.
i'd make the wyoming department of transportation mind there own rules and not pay them {if one person doesn't sign one form} for months on end then not pay for completed jobs for a few years.
i'd work all the republicans on a t&m jobs so they can turn a profit and i could get quality work.
we would trans plant all the wolves to buzzes back yard after he leaves the state.
i'd move bobcat into the state so i could see for myself what he shoots and if he really is holier then the rest of us when it comes to self control in the woods{he would have to vote republican} if he is he could hunt with me i'd like to learn to be so perfect.{I"VE BEEN KNOWN TO LEAVE A TURD IN THE HILLS ONCE IN A WHILE} i don't own a four wheeler and love to walk without running into one.{I THINK, CAN"T REMEMBER WHAT THAT WAS LIKE}.
then i'd spend the rest the money on spelling lessons

Califelkslayer · May 10, 2007

With plenty of $$$$$$$$$, Pbear has the right idea. Buy the right ranch, improve the habitat if necessary and control the take=quality. DidI, not having to work would let you spend the time scouting or learning OTC areas, I agree.

Having a guide find a trophy animal and you showing up to pull the trigger isn't my cup of tea but spending days/weeks finding the right animal on your own and then pulling the trigger is what I dream about.

Both of these options would give me a real sense of satisfaction.

Of course play the tag game in EVERY state.
