If you haven't been out to the island feel free to excuse yourself from this discussion. There is no conspiracy, the Standard Examiner had a pic of State Park truck blocking the road. Most of Antelope Island is covered in grass and small sage brush. The south end has a little rocky "hill". The east side, where you see most of the bigger bucks has phragmites. To claim that a mostly flatish, coverless island is basically the same as the Henerys is absurd. As for the guy who drew the tag, good for you dude, that is not the tag I will ever put in for, but whatever. Why you hired mossback to do what I, Yelum, and any other guy who goes out there to do I don't get, but its your cash. For the guy who bought the tag, and the group who bribed the state(see SFW) shame on your house. If you have to spend any time selling the "its a fair chase hunt for wild animals" story, its not a fair chase hunt for wild animals. I drew the Manti LE elk tag a few years back. I never once had to try to convince anyone it was fair chase. If you are hunting a place that has to "block the roads and close the consession stand" its not a fair chase hunt for wild animals. Question, if said deer would have come north of the State Park truck blockade was he off limits? If he was standing next to the concession stand was he fair game? When was the last time you saw a consession stand on the Pahvant, Henerys, Book Cliffs? I read Mossbacks own account of the Spider Bull. They found it 10 miles from where they thought it was. If this deer was ten miles away from where they thought it was it would be at my house in Syracuse. YUP, there is no high fence, only a few miles of water. Like I said, if you haven't been out there you have no idea how damn sad this is. SFW, there is a good bull at Lagoon, the State can stop the train, I bet you could guarantee $200,000 for that tag too. FREAKING DISCUSTING!!!
When they came for the road hunters I was not one so I said nothing. When they came for the oppurtunists I was not one so I said nothing. When they came for the public land hunters I was not one so I said nothing. When they came for me there was no one left to say anything!
