It is quite obvious to me that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. You claim to have all of the answers but in reality you know nothing about this deer or the manner in which it was hunted.
First, I had the extreme privelege of being able to be out there for this hunt. I left last Tue evening and was in camp late that night. When I was shown some of the footage of the deer it was evident to me that we were not looking at an old deer. In fact, I guessed the deer to be no older than 5 1/2 years old. When the deer hit the ground and the deer was aged it was confirmed that the deer was in fact no older than 5 1/2 which means that if you were watching this deer back in 1999 you truly are clarvoyant due to the fact that he was still sucking his moms titties.
Second, this deer was not found from a chute plane! I dont want to give out to much information because the story is so good but I can guarantee that you will see the trail cam pic that got everybodies attention. Again, without going into too much detail you will see this pic and many others in an upcoming MuleyCrazy Magazine and it will amaze you. Once the deer was located why would these guys risk blowing him out of the country by buzzing him with a plane. Thats would be almost as absurd as the drivel that comes out of your mouth.
Third, This deer has never been located prior to this season. My thoughts on why this deer has not been spotted, or recognized, is due to his age. There is no question that this deer was big last season but I feel that he exploded this year as most deer with his genetics do between the ages of 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 years old. These guys spent almost a month glassing this deer from long range and worked their butts off for a guy that has donated almost a quarter MILLION dollars of his money to benefit mule deer over the past two seasons to harvest two deer. Instead of trashing these people you should thank them for raising the awarness of what this country can produce when managed properly. I guarantee that the tag will go for more money next year because of the publicity this deer will get. My hats off to all of the people that worked so hard to find him.
Last but not least, who are you? Not that I really care but I find it amazing that you continue to come on here to slam anybody that owns a chute plane or hunts with Gov tag hunters and claim to have these great moral convictions and you will not even post your name. What a joke, I have come to the conclusion that you are no more than a paper tiger and a coward. Why are you scared to tell people who you are? I for one would have much more respect for you if you would post your info on the website so we could know who you are. Until then, you are nothing more than a hack that is just pissed because you cant find a deer on your own. I bet you would walk up to Ryan or anybody else you slam on the computer and shake their hand at a show and continue to hide behind a computer to slam them. Post your info big daddy. Hell, mine is there for all to see. Feel free to give me a call, cell number is (806)543-1890. You have no credibility here until we know who you are.
