This is real nice!

It sounds fishy, but it sounds like a hell of a fun time I bet alot of people would be interested in that.

This was the reason we didn't want NR being able to get doe tags. It just open the door for Party hunting.

At the price he's asking I doubt if anyone is stupid enough to take him up on it. If so,it's the day two fools met!
 
That is hilarious. I guess if I was really serious about selling a 13000 dollar hunt I wouldn't post a pict. of a 130 incher and a guy holding a turkey next to a barn.
Fair is fair though, and what's he's doing probably isn't illegal, just a little unethical in my opinion.
 
Looks like he may have been the one to lease Timber Ridge. I hunt in this general area and the last few years someone from Michigan had the lease on it. I am sure Gary Sisco will get to the bottom of this deer tag scam.
 
Let me see if I have this right - a non-resident can legally buy a doe tag and then shoot a buck if he is hunting in a party of tag holding residents? That doesn't seem right. We are all screwed up over here in Nebraska with the rifle season right in the middle of the rut but at least we don't allow party hunting.

BTW - does party hunting apply to firearm only or is it applicable to archery as well?
 
Following up on my other post - I can shot two does for $26 over here in Nebraska so spending whatever your asking for out-state doe tags doesn't really make sense. However, if I understand this correctly, I could have a landowner get his resident buck tag, I purchase a doe tag and I think I'm good to go??? Anything wrong with scenario other than it seems ridiculous.

hey...I made a telephone call to this guy and spoke with him personally...i told him that i felt like the way he was trying to sell his hunt was wrong and completely unethical, when i asked him about the radios he said it is so that when people are done hunting they can tell him to come get them....Hmmmm...tell that one to the DNR....He tried to convince me that my opinion didn't matter to him...however, he kept on talking to me and trying to make a case for himself saying that he wasn't doing anything illegal....which he probably isn't...however it is unethical...period. I'm positive that i got him good and worked up about it...i told him that a lot of people on this site were displeased with the ebay add as well and that some were sending the info to the DNR...that got him going....i also asked about the 30pt 250-260 inch buck....that shed doesn't look like a 250inch buck...maybe it is...but i think he's exaggerating a little bit.....ANYWAY..i'll quit rambling, just thought you might feel better knowing that someone has spoke to him verbally and voiced their opinion.....

P.S. Not against party hunting...just the abuse of it...AKA...out of state "doe" tags to kill bucks
 
Party hunting during shotgun season is NOT the problem here. Party hunting is enjoyed by 100,000+ hunters annually and is an effective tool in managing the expanding doe herd. I think the real issue here is that the individual in question is purposely circumventing the law in a way that conflicts with the ethics of most of us.
 
So does this guy have tags for himself, the wife, a couple of kids, his brother, and his uncle? I would hope the DNR would check to make sure all the licenses are legit and that no one else is carrying these tags.

Like some others have said, I'd like to see the outfitters licensed and bonded and subject to unannounced inspections by CO's. I think the state is missing out on a great revenue stream and it could actually help slow down the leasing of land ... give outfitters enough hoops to jump through and some currently in operation might say the hell with it.
Extra $$ could fund officers to oversee the outfitters as well as fund land purchases. I guess I have a hard time finding a down side to it, especially when the courts have ruled that state's have the right to manage their own wildlife.

There will always be unethical hunters out there, whether they're residents, non-residents, or outfitters. We just shouldn't make it so easy for them to operate!
