Why SCI?

Because it wasn't free range?

most likely because it was shot behind a tall fence

ColdBore · 2024-10-05T05:57:36-0600

That bull doesn't even resemble an elk, and isn't attractive in any way.

Even less so if shot behind a fence and paid for by the inch.

ColdBore · 2024-10-05T05:59:19-0600

High fence.

This High-Fence Bull Elk Could Break an SCI World Record. It Scores More Than 648 Inches

Washingtonian Brian Dhooghe harvested the bull from Broadmouth Canyon Ranch, where guides gave it a conservative green score of 648 and 4/8.

Red deer genes somewhere in his ancestry.

That thing is less wild than an angus bull. Those steroid bulls aren’t even pretty.

Those elk arrive on the property in horse trailers the night before the “hunt” starts. It’s like going to vegas and paying for some $ex then claiming to be a lady’s man.

Well he is ugly... And when it comes to high fence hunting I guess it's their money and they can do what they want

I've never read a story about a high fence hunt. Gotta say, after reading that article, it's worse than I imagined from a sporting standpoint. I always got that the animals were not free range, but the description reminded me of what it would be like to hunt cattle or sheep. Not very fun...

He looks a bit like —Spyder

Muleman1 · 2024-10-05T08:34:56-0600

What TF would anyone want to even do a “hunt” like that ?

Probably a great grandson off the same farm

Wapitiwilly · 2024-10-05T09:17:07-0600

Rather shoot a spike on a general unit…
Just sayin

At least that’d be a challenge !

Congratulations to the "hunter"!

D8hntr · 2024-10-05T10:43:21-0600

Probably a case of too much money and no hunting skills.....and not wanting to take the time to learn. Could've hired a guide for fair chase. The older I get, the less I try to figure people out. Whatever floats your boat but to me, not sporting at all. Probably gonna tell the gullible ones around the campfire a totally different story than the truth!!........kinda hard these days with social media though.

Come on now…..you don’t gotta be that way just because you had to pack yours 60 yards

CFMuley · 2024-10-05T11:04:29-0600

There’s been bigger bulls killed since

hornkiller · 2024-10-05T11:42:25-0600

So dumb to even claim something like that

elkantlers · 2024-10-05T11:51:10-0600

Gross

Vanilla · 2024-10-05T11:53:31-0600

There is not enough money in the world I could make that would make me want to do a hunt like this. It certainly is not for me.

At the same time, I don’t care that some other people do them. This is a high fence farm designed for something very specific. There are a ton of things people spend their money on that make no sense to me. Add this to the list! But I’m not going to spend any time feigning outrage. Who cares? It’s legal. It’s their money. Live and let live.

Ditto

Question for all you cattle ranchers. When you put down a large steer/longhorn (that you pen raised) do you take grip and grin Photos and post them? Maybe enter in the all time cattle records?

Hunt smart AND hard!

yotebuster17 · 2024-10-05T13:58:04-0600

Not my cup of tea, but if there’s a willing buyer and seller it doesn’t bother me. Tons of people on here list NZ red stag as one of their bucket lists and then they rip on this. Same difference.

Wapitiwilly · 2024-10-05T14:53:47-0600

Agreed! I hunted NZ a few years ago. I really enjoyed the experience and I did shoot a stag.
But I can honestly say it wasn’t hunting to by any means.
Just a price list and a lot of bone

Blindnonresident · 2024-10-05T16:30:35-0600

Not hunting.

Togwotee · 2024-10-05T17:21:19-0600

This is why I have no use for SCI. kill a zoo animal in a squeeze chute and you're a hero.

elkhunterUT · 2024-10-05T17:26:44-0600

Meh…

I was thinking a lot the other day about SCI and what it was about it that gave me a funny feeling and I think I put my finger on it. Every other organization out there puts the animal first. WSF, RMEF, WTF, DU, PF, Delta waterfowl, you name it, it’s an organization put together by hunters who love a particular animal to raise money and awareness for conservation of that animal and any others that also benefit. SCI is an organization put together by hunters to protect their type of hunting. It puts the hunt before the animal and I guess that doesn’t sit right with me. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong on what the mission of SCI is, but it seems to me it’s fighting for import rights on different animals, making sure places abroad stay open to hunting etc.
