Dumbass, the Donor said he wanted to do something nice for a warrior.
If he just wanted to help wildlife he could have just made a charitable contribution to the states wildlife management team … Looks like he accomplished both goals to me
The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

What a fun thread!
A wealthy guy made a generous charitable donation and gave the spoils of it to someone he deemed worthy. Still, folks want to knock him for what he chooses to do with his money. Unbelievable. It’s called envy. I guess that gene skipped me. I’m glad as it isn’t a very good look.

I dont have a dog in this fight but will opine that there isn't a deer on earth worth $300k. …and another that doesn’t get it Wrong Moron. I understand the $$$ goes to conservation and habitat. Just saying no deer is worth that much. The guy could make a $300,000 donation every year and not even try for the deer. I am all about supporting conservation and habitat but no deer on its own is worth $300k.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

But the holier than thou forum phaggs like Burnsie, Camuglia, BobMT etc INSIST that we dont "understand" what its about! If as the buyer said he was trying to do something for a vet, that amount of scratch could have paid for alot more than one guy to go on a hunt!

The donor, Mike Schultz, is rumored to have made some backroom land swaps involving the Henefer Echo Wildlife Management Unit owned by the state and his adjacent Sawmill Ranch that benefited his ranch and screwed Utah hunters. IF that is the case, I highly suspect SFW is involved somehow, as that seems like the kind of thing they’d be a part of. I don’t trust them, at all. They put on a good show, helping wildlife and hunting as a sport in general, but they’re a snake in the grass.

There's a good many people in this region that spend 10's of thousands of dollars to go shoot at a whitetail deer I wouldn't myself, but I'm not them and they ain't me

IIRC, Our state, TN, got caught trying to make some kind of a honey deal land swap with a big private investor. Chicken schit bastards.

Somethings worth is determined by what someone will pay for it.So yes that particular deer is worth 300k and probably more to the guy who shot it.

Very cool.
If you don’t have many many many multiples of $310k you really aren’t qualified to say whether or not you’d spend that on a deer hunt. I'm with Ralphie on this , those that can, should, those that can't shouldn't be envious... That being said, I am and have always have been an otc public land hunter... but certainly don't resent those that aren't

I might be off base but the issue with judging that kind of money being spent on something like that is that most folks don’t comprehend having that much expendable money. I know I can’t. I doubt that the guy that won the auction was even interested in the hunt. He was looking for a tax deduction. That’s what he got quick and easy. And he chose a deserving disabled vet as the beneficiary to it. Good on him. Congrats to the vet and all that helped pull it off. YMMV

And the state legislature as well. Convenient that Mike Schultz is a fairly large land developer AND a state legislator. Lots of questionable stuff the legislature has done in the name of wildlife. Combining public land into Consolidated Wildlife Management Units (which allows the private landowner to set his own seasons) and screwing hunters out of access to public lands is a big one.

Kind of like when I was drooling over a Holland and Holland double rifle and a coworker asked why in the world anyone would spent that kind of scratch for a gun. I said “you know what I would do if I could afford one”? “What”, he said”. I said “I’d buy a matched pair”.
