When Ritz drew a bull moose tag in Maine, he passed up bulls and went home empty handed. Not too many would do that.

You're whining worse than a school girl that got her first period.

Phone call any different than people getting pics from cell cams during hunting season; think people dont quick get out to hunt if a photo comes to their phone with their "target" buck? Dont think people are using phone to call or text about movement while hunting? While we cant ban phones, they could ban cell cams during hunting seasons, how well do you think that would go over.

Maybe we should have GWs working night shift to catch all those tracking deer after dark without making a call; when caught they lose their deer and hunting license for a few years, how well do you think that would go over?

i made a simple statement much like you do about the grouse situation here in PA....i'll bring the crackers you get the whine

a law was violated...very minor law, but still.....just like the elk drawing...CHANGE THE LAWS...dont violate them, it cant be that hard

Heck no. 15 years ago I paid $4k for an auction tag in VT and right at dark on day 4 I saw a Cow and since that was the first Moose I saw I hit send on my 30-06. I wasn't paying all that money to go home empty. On day 5 a local kid sat in my spot and shot a Bull that dropped at the shot but they never found. Oh well

I can say that last year during my elk hunt the outfitters called the pgc when elk were hit and not recovered by the end of hunting hours. The pgc wanted details and locations, before deciding on what to do. They can and do give people the ok to track or finish an animal if it is a likely potential lethal hit.

All the outfitters know this and are not going to risk any problems, even more so with a celeb and a filmed hunt.

In 47 years of hunting we put down 3 wounded deer with weapons we were hunting with after dark. I could care less what anyone thinks, and I’d do it again in a minute.

I like it. Does before hoes. 🤣

Guy did a great job putting PA elk hunting in a positive light.

Agreed.

No way will a WCO authorize someone to finish off an animal after dark.

Just so everyone is aware next year I plan on being drawn for a Maine moose and a PA bull tag. Calling my shot now.

 

[Army Hunter]

Pretty awesome hunt. Great job guys. Thanks for sharing.

 

[WilySpike]

Big deal I will go with the 14 year old girl over a high dollar hunter!

 

[TrashPanda]

Our elk hunt is a lot of fun. I'll go along with whoever has a tag and will let me.

No, it happened here in Zone 13. I believe it was 2015, the first year for that new zone. A guy was hunting with an outfitter, had a bull tag. On the last day of the season, with only minutes of legal light
left, they found a bunch of elk on SGL 100, off the Stateline Road. The hunter shot, and gut / liver hit a decent bull. It bedded down, and they could see its eyes shining. They had no rifle, as it was after hours.The outfitter called the PGC asking for direction, and the Centre County warden came out to where the bull was bedded. It wasn’t getting up. He had the hunter kill it where it was laying, in the dark, with a light.

What was interesting, even though he opened the gate and drove about 3/4 of a mile into the SGLs, he wouldn’t allow the outfitter to use his vehicle to get the elk out, nor would he bring it out for them. They had to bring it out without a vehicle.

Two of my buddies came out to help get the bull out to the gate, they worked for the outfitter.

So what zone was this killed in ?

My God, just lock this thread already. Just start a Bash Ritz thread.

And how do we get signed up for that?

 

[SRA-5C+]

Does before hoes, love it.

 

[TrashPanda]

Start a thread titled "Bash Greg Ritz here." At least it wouldn't be on this one anymore.

Nah, all good. Tiring actually- looking forward to next years "reveal" and since the NR usurpers will have limited access and they will have to actually buy a license, it will work it's self out.

And to those that question that word "usurpers", that is what we as Pa residents are called by the locals (insert state here) when we draw a coveted tag in their back yard and they live there year round.
