he paid a guy to get him on a bull...in this case a specific bull...and a lot of money...would we be having this conversation if it was $25,000? Would we be having this conversation if only 3 guys were used to locate the bull? woudl we be having htis conversation if it was not the pending world record? The answer to all of the above is no...

i know VERY respected hunters that routinely Pay $20K+ for the elk they are routinely getting written up about in journals...how come no outrage over that? they didnt scout them...they paid a guy to locate them (specific bulls over 400), and paid a rancher to hunt them, and paid a group to help locate the bull, and paid etc. etc.

However, my comments have been about how ludicrous it is that people are jumping on each other about this stupid bull...I have also commented how you may not know the facts...and jumping to conclusions with the internets version of facts well...that is less than wise...I wont bother with the Assume lesson, but it truly applies...
