Beaver Monster Bull

Hey Guys ,
Just got back from my 2009 Beaver limited entry elk hunt with Gocches Guides.

First it was a great hunt and Gooches Guides (Eric Christiansen) my guide did a great job as well as Dale the cook
who made sure we were fed well.

The rut was slow and the bulls were talkin but not a lot ,
i missed a 380 class bull on day 4 named tootsie roll....
this bull had nine lives and eluded us for 4 days .

After a lot of hard work one of our spotters spotted a bull on day 6 that had been named Frazier for his left hook on one beam.

Frazier was an incredible 390 plus typical 6x6 with tons of mass and a huge body ....Eric had summer footage of the bull and he was on top of the hit list.

I was blessed on the evening of day 6 and shot Frazier at 300 plus yards three times and then the work began.

He Gross scores right at 390 with 4 inches broken off one of his thirds , has incredible mass and for me is truly a dream bull that nets in the 380s.

Thanks to Eric and all the guys at Gooches for making my dream of harvesting a Monster Bull come true.

I will post pictures later tonight.

Congrats to all on there great bulls.

Missing Tootsie roll (the 380 bull ) worked out just fine...

A lot of hard work ............

Randy, congrats on a slammer bull, you put forth a ton of effort, and if paid of graciously for you.......
 
Thanks guys i am still in awe ...........These big bulls ARE hard work...............with a little luck every now and then..

That is a brut, Congrats. You gotta love that unit, It has a little of everything as far as animals and terrain. Nice job!!
 
DUDE! you killed my dream bull! curved fronts, long curved beams and big tops......that bull is 100% the bull I dream of.

Congratulations, he will look awsome on the wall!
 
Those main beams are unreal. I often wonder what I would do if I saw a bull like that and had a tag. I don't know if my jaw would get in the way and I would not be able to make the shot. what a great bull.
 
Thanks Guys , The bull was at 340 yards so i didnt have much time to get Bull Fever just concentrated on the shot....


Yes i am a lucky Man.............

Better late than never...hey Randy congrats on getting your monster bull down there this year!! He's a stud for sure!!

bull,

Thanks for the photo. Great bull! Utah elk hunting on a LE tag is just unreal! I like it when guys get excited as I did when I hunted them. It is so fun to look at the photos of happy hunters! Nicely done bullmania!!
 
Thanks Guys For all of your comments .

This was by far the toughest hunt both physically and Mentally i have ever been on but the most rewarding in the end as all the hard work really paid off.

Prayers were answered as i was really getting discouraged after 5 hard days daylight to Dark of hunting and miles of hiking, miles and miles and miles.


As far as the Beaver Unit it is a great unit but really has been over harvested on its top end Bulls over the last several years. As i only saw one other bull in six days over 350 and my guides had been on the mountain on and off all summer and had seen very few 380 plus bulls .The guides logged hundreds of hours over the summer and had tons of trail cams out with very little results.

The bull we harvested named Frazier was the biggest bull anyone had seen all summer , just plain lucky and blessed to have met up with him and to harvest him.

I am just blessed to have gotten an opportunity to hunt the Beaver Unit and Harvest a Bull of a Lifetime.
