RE: Spider bull has been killed
Glad to see someone killed off the freek.
congrats
Too bad it was such a circus. Both the grand old tradition of hunting and the elk deserved better.
Now this may be a public land bull but he is only half wild.
For the centuries before whitemen hunted elk in North America they probably never saw horns like that. In a hundred years of hunting 1900-2000 only a half dozen elk ever scored over 400 and then only just. And at a time when so much of their range was true wilderness and had little preasure.Now there are farms with dozens of 450 plus elk walking around behind those nice safe fences.
The reason was preditors............something this bull knew nothing about.
Wolves would have disspatched the freek long before he grew into a 500 plus bull.
Wolves have no seasons or tags to worry about.
DoesUtah have the best jean pool or is it just a good safe farm?
When they kill a 450 bull in Montana, Idaho or Canadaon public land, he will be the true survivor.
IMHO
