I'll just post my 2 cents worth. Am I jealous, Envious, or greedy heck no! Am I in awe to the fact that this bull has 500'' of antler on top of his head, yes sir I most certainly am. Do I think this bull should be eligible for the record books? Well yea he was a fair chase bull on public land and any joe schmoe could have shot him. Had the mossback crew used something to give them advantage, (blocking roads, helicopters, or anything of that sort) Then no I do not think this bull should be eligible due to the piss poor sportsmanship exhibited by those actions; However there is no proof that they did any of those things so ladies and gentleman Spidey will be your new world record elk.

Now there is a difference between this elk being a world record and actually hunting. I don't think the guy is a hunter, not at all. Anyone... ANYONE can put the crosshairs on a bull that has been found for them and had someone keeping an eye on it. The mossback guys are the hunters in this case, this guy was just lucky enough to pull the trigger. Would I do the same if I had the money? No I wouldn't, but that is because I have been doing it DIY for sooo long. If I had the money that this guyhas I would be doing drop camps so I could still pretty much do it myself but would get to hunt in every state imaginable.

This bull has caused a lot of riff raft, and right fully so. It's almost an unfair advantage on those who are spending THEIR time out looking for a record book bull. In all honesty, I could care less if I ever shot a bull like spider. I'd be dang happy with being able to take a 360'' bull.
