Wanted: Trophy mule deer, 200? plus, willing to spend any amount of money it takes, illegal guiding and wildlife harassment by helicopter encouraged, the most work I'm willing to do is pulling the trigger and getting my picture taken. Will pay at least a $10,000.00 illegal outfitting?.ooops?.I mean??finders fee? to whomever can provide this service.
If the billionaire from Texas that bought the Colorado governors tag for muleys ran a classified ad, this is how it would read. If you called the number in the ad, it would most likely ring to the cell phone of a "well known guy in our hunting world"(name removed at Huntsonoras request). Anyone who has spent any amount of time in western Colorado since the end of 4th season has more than likely seen the dozens of people with Wyoming, California, and Utah plates that have received one form or another of this ad from these gentlemen. It's a shame to me that so many people are so willing and eager to help someone, in such an unsportsmanlike manner, exploit the most majestic specimens of this animal that we all love and supposedly are so concerned about its conservation. There is no hunting involved in this process, lowlifes simply spot the biggest and best while they are in their winter grounds, corner it, and wait for Mr. Moneybags to show up and pull the trigger so that they can collect their check. The lucky ones get to fly around half the state in a helicopter for a couple weeks spotting monsters, all the while on the tab, and probably payroll, of someone else. What a shame it is to not give these wonderful monarchs the respect they deserve for eluding clever hunters for years and years, instead they get sold out to the highest bidder at their most vulnerable time. I wonder whether or not any of these guys would do this, if the monster happened to be in their back yard, or better yet in their honey hole. I hope that what they do wears on their conscience, and hopefully catches up to them in ?hunting karma?, that they will never see a trophy while hunting their own tag ever again. In my mind it's a crime, even if the DOW refuses to recognize it.
Just my $.02
