Did you click on the FACEBOOK??A video of nothing?
Yes. It popped up a single video of someone saying he missed.Did you click on the FACEBOOK??
Paid his dues, meaning he came to AZ several times with guides and on his own to hunt and it finally all came together.Truth hurts, didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You must be able to relate.
RW, the issue i have is this deer was more than likely photographed, then sent to people who were willing to pay the price. Guides/sub-guides go out and photograph deer/elk all the time then put those pictures out to their high paying clients, then the bidding starts. It is a problem all over the west right now. Prove me wrong....grosventrehunter,
It’s negative post like yours that are hurting this site. Someone shares a story with some great pictures, of a great mule deer on a site named Monstermuleys and all you can say is, yeah but he’s so rich, he just bought that buck. Anyone with enough money could have done that. Like it was some sort of fenced hunt or something. Hope you feel better about yourself self now that you’ve put down what was probably someone else’s hard earned accomplishment.
Sorry, but paying a guide to show you where to go and telling you how to kill a deer, is not “hard earned”. The money might be hard earned. But the hunter certainly didn’t earn the deer through his hunting efforts. The guide did. The guide killed the deer. The hunter pulled the trigger.grosventrehunter,

anyone with money can kill big deer. Or elk. Or sheep. Or moose. Or whatever. Paying someone to do the hard part is not an accomplishment in hunting terms.
Never been on a guided hunt and probably never will, just seems a little ignorant to assume as much as you have.Truth hurts, didn't mean to hurt your feelings. You must be able to relate.
ArizonaDon’t mean to sound ignorant but where does Duwayne Adams hunt?
Except I posted this thread in the MULE DEER section.As far as the buck, I saw the OPs name and thought I was looking at a Coues deer for a second... lol Can you imagine.??!
Same. I’d like the see the video as wellHey kids
I can't access Facebook to watch the video cause I have been banned from Twitter and Facebook for expressing my opinion. Can someone post it up here on MM
I mean have you ever seen such jealousy ? Wow i have paid guides lots and still hunt hard and i guarantee i earned it!! Love your comment walkerKnock off the crap, start a rant thread if you want
Great buck man, congrats
my goal is, half that buck, lol
nocwalker
I agree. i've paid for guided hunts, busted my ass and still came up empty. Not all guided hunts are like the situation where a team camps on an animal until their commissioners tag holder shows up.I mean have you ever seen such jealousy ? Wow i have paid guides lots and still hunt hard and i guarantee i earned it!! Love your comment walker
People that made those comments should be embarrassed , i am for them i am so glad i am able to go on a guided hunt and take the guess work out and not have to kill myself for 5 days after traveling 12 , 13 hours most people are so jealous and wish they had the money to go guided and then make awful comments like said on here just patheticI agree. i've paid for guided hunts, busted my ass and still came up empty.

lmaoOMG. An outfitter that found a good deer and, dare I say it, helped his client get in position to make a shot with his bow. What is the world coming to???
Nice buck
I've taken one guided hunt before. And I believe the guide was as excited as I was. The elk made the outfitters Christmas Card that year so it musta been the biggest killed, or it coulda been I was the best looking hunterA good guide is one that is happy as you are when your game animal is taken ,and attitude is everything.
Are you assuming? ? Sorry founder I couldn't help it.some pretty outlandish assumptions about the guided hunter without knowing him or the details of the hunt other than a few paragraphs from the outfitter. I'm pretty sure they weren't holding hands when the guide "walked him into 32 yards". For anyone knocking the guy for how he spends his cash is just crazy. If he can afford to do 6 or 600 guided hunts in AZ, more power to him.
Beautiful deer and congrats to the hunter!
Yep, a 30 yard shot is a plunk, that buck finally messed up.'Brett walked client Ron Maguire @rrmaguire Into this buck at 32 yards and Ron hammered him! Ron has paid his dues". My guess he didn't like this sentence.

Actually there’s plenty of guys that prefer DIY and money doesn’t make a good hunter. I think we can all admit that the satisfaction of getting things done yourself is much greater than paying thousands to have someone walk you around. I don’t mind guided hunts but saying that others wish they had the money to go guided is ridiculous.People that made those comments should be embarrassed , i am for them i am so glad i am able to go on a guided hunt and take the guess work out and not have to kill myself for 5 days after traveling 12 , 13 hours most people are so jealous and wish they had the money to go guided and then make awful comments like said on here just pathetic
If you know how to do a custom turret and beat 350 bucks that i am gonna pay a guy in Idaho cmon!!Brick
I can sight ur rifle in for a minimum fee
Hahaha
I bet more money guarantees you a chance at a bigger animal though. So what is the meaning of "fair chase" these days?Money doesn't guarantee anything when you're on a fair chase hunt.... whether it be spent on a high end landowner tag, outfitter, etc.
Congrats on an awesome buck!
The same as it’s always been. No where in B&C’s patented ‘Fair Chase’ statement does it state that a guided hunt is not appropriate. I’m not sure what you’re point is?I bet more money guarantees you a chance at a bigger animal though. So what is the meaning of "fair chase" these days?
Great to hear from you Don... hope all is well...Great buck! Congrats to outfitter/guides/hunter. Worked as a team and got it done on a huge buck.
I have a friend who lives very close to where that buck was taken.
Same here..hope this thread isn't going badGreat to hear from you Don... hope all is well...
