My Late LE Bull

Iwrk2hnt · Nov 12, 2009

I have finally been able to accomplish a life long dream of hunting and harvesting a monster bull on my own (he is a monster to me). Me and my eight year old son found this bull the day before the opener and we were able to find him about two miles away at 10:20 opening morning. Let me know what you all think.

Beautiful bull! Manti?

oakbrush · Nov 12, 2009

He is awesome. Congrats

wrk2hnt · Nov 12, 2009

I will try and answer some of the questions, my gun is a 30-378, yes it was on the Manti and I do have more pics that I can post later. I have to say that this elk found the nastiest canyon on the unit. It took two days, six guys and two horses to get him out. Not complaining, it was all worth it!

Yup, that's pretty much the definition of "Monster". Beautiful Bull!

KILLERBEE · Nov 13, 2009

awsome bull, i'd love to hear ,more! congrats to you

BHBISH · Nov 13, 2009

Congatulations on a great looking bull. I love the light, almost white, hide. I think he would be considered a monster bull to all hunters. Nice!!

FamilyMan · Nov 13, 2009

Great bull! Congratulations.

Serious question: How does one find the same bull again if it is two miles away. That is amazing to me and I'm sure I could learn something about hunting from your story.

My hunting spot is so secret, not even the elk have found it yet.

BWO · Nov 13, 2009

That is a great bull Aaron. Congrats. I just got back from Nevada for 9 days and saw your text and now this. That thing is a stud. Way to get it done.

rmanwill · Nov 13, 2009

very nice bull and gun

mulemanrack · Nov 14, 2009

No broken tines on a late hunt bull........Congrats, he's a "Gagger"

Iwrk2hnt · Nov 15, 2009

I just wanted to say thank you for all of the positive comments about my bull (and my gun). It just goes to show that Utah has done a great job on the elk heards which makes for exciting hunts. That is not to say that you dont have to get off the four wheelers to harvest a trophy. Thanks again!

Gator · Nov 15, 2009

fine looking bull, and he does look wide as hell on that packhorse. Love packing pictures.

Thats a Toad! That will make one sweet wall mount!

Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high, keep your eyes fixed to where the trail meets the sky...

monstermuleyhunter · Nov 16, 2009

Nice bull Aaron. Just wondering how many shots you fired? Someone in the town below said is sounded like an airstrike up there. Any truth to that?

logslinger · Nov 17, 2009

Beautiful Bull!!!! Congrats on a toad.

Iwrk2hnt · Nov 17, 2009

LAST EDITED ON Nov-17-09 AT 08:20AM (MST)[p]Why do you have to bring that up Greg? Does it matter how many shots it took? Does it make him any less of a bull, or me any less of a hunter? LOL! I am man enough to say that I took six shots connecting on two of them.

monstermuleyhunter · Nov 17, 2009

Like I said before beautiful bull Aaron, I congratulate you on a stud. It doesnt matter how many times the trigger was pulled, the only thing that matters is that hes on your wall now.

treedagain · Nov 18, 2009

awesome bull.....congrads

BuckSkinner79 · Nov 21, 2009

Great bull for a late hunt especially... Nuthn to be ashamed of! He's a good lookn animal. Great pack picture coming out of the bottom.

Iwrk2hnt · Nov 22, 2009

Buckskinner, thanks so much for the comments. I will admit that this bull exceeded my expectations for the unit and because it was a late hunt. I was wondering if anyone has heard of any other bulls that came off the unit and what they scored. I have been looking on MM and know of the 397 killed by the outfitter on the rifle hunt and a 351 killed on the muzzleloader hunt. Any other bulls that people are aware of and what they scored? Also, just was wondering what people think my bull scored?

UTMuleyhunter · Nov 23, 2009

Aaron- Your bull is a fantastic bull for that hunt. I would guess the score, but I already have some inside information. I actually would have guessed higher. I also sent you a private message (PM).
