Yukon bull elk pics

Here's a pic a buddy of mine has been beggin me to post. Well he's not exactly a buddy. He's more like a distant boss at times. I work in the oilfield and he kinda drills oil wells on the side. I decided to post this pic to see what you guys think. He's kinda of a wierd guy and you never know what to believe. He has tons of money, obviously, and I really wouldn't be suprised if this was a high fenced bull and he's tryin to pass it off as a legit bull. I don't know the guy too well but other sources say it's the real deal and is a free ranging bull. He also claims to have killed it with his bow. That's a big bull for a bow and pointed stick. What say you?

Thats a heck of a thumper son of a gun. I'd drop my bow if one that big came in to my calls.....
 
I could tell you which unit but then I'd have to kill you; and since I don't know where you live I cant' track you down and kill you. that means it will have to remain a mystery. I was thinkin about tellin everyone it was an artic bull.

GEE,
Don't anyone even look at the subject line:

"RE: Yukon bull elk pics"

Not sure if the Elk are up in the YUKON, but they are in northern British Columbia, Canada. That pu makes me think differently though where it was taken, who knows? Still a nice Bull and congrats to the hunter.

the real story

I thot someone would have nailed that bull by now. u mm'ers greatly dissapoint me. he was killed near the spider bull. yes u heard me right caelknuts. the guy got lucky enough to draw with 5 points n got one of the few out of state tags. he said he smoked the bull at 22 yards. said the guides were havin a crappy hunt due to inexperience and all and lucked on to this bull. said they saw quads everywhere n thinks one of em spooked the bull to him. first shot hit the bull in the rear leg which broke it. the bull then broke the other leg tryin to get away. said he only had five arrows when he left the truck that morning. somehow two had fallen out of his quiver somewhere along the way. said he was so excited that he couldn't even hit the bull at point blank. one arrow went over his back n lodged in a pine. the other hit a rock under the elk n broke. all shots at this point were under 10 yards. the guide got mad and went running back to the truck to fetch more arrows. They finally got the bull killed though. talk about dumb luck. this poor guy has been tryin to draw tags in all the western states now for years. says he's gonna keep applyin. says u never know.

RE: the real story

I would post more pics but the guy is gonna try to get his first bull published. The guides also weren't inexperienced. The hunted that bull down from day one. it took them seven days to get him. im just tryin to throw crap at steve in an attempt to draw him out. if u guides care to post more pics feel free to. If not then I will make a link to your trophy gallery once you get all the bugs worked out n every thing is up and runnin. I thot that bull was awesome and that you would all enjoy helpin me throw some crap at the poor guy. congratulations steve on this once-in-a-lifetime bull.
ps steve..... I believe u are on a five year probation if memory serves me correctly? that's how utah works. am I right?

RE: the real story

Actually I lost 3 arrows, my backpack and glasses and one boot on the stalk and then missed him 7 times at under 5 yds while he was sleeping. Had to send Reed back to the truck in the black helicopter for more arrows and a couple of Happy Meals. Finally hit him on the 12th try (ok, it did just glance off the left G-4, but thats a hit in anyone's book). He finally expired by laughing himself to death.....but he's mine! Reed, Dave and Sam think it was my pink under-camo that put him over the edge...but I beg to differ as I know it was not showing at the time.
What a great hunt....with the emphasis on hunt!!
I had an absolute blast, Utah has great elk and the guys I hunted with are absolutely the best there is and fun to boot. Couldn't have dreamed up a better hunt. Thank you Lord.
Now about that five year probation....I'm gonna have to figure out a way around that.......
And as for Stinky.....he cracks me up!!!
 
RE: the real story

Congrats Steve, very nice bull. Reed is a dang good guide and a good guy as well.

As for stinky, can you find an abandoned hole in the desert somewhere and dump him in it, PLEASE?

RE: the real story

LAST EDITED ON Oct-25-08 AT 04:23PM (MST)[p]I think pro has guide envy! I actually didn't know you shot that many times!! Dang. I still think thats one of the best bulls I've seen on mm this year. Thanks for all the pics. That is just an awesome bull. Next time post it yourself so I don't have to completely trash you! It's amazing what god actually does for us oil trash guys isn't it?

RE: the real story

Amen brother!!! Heck, its amazing he's kept me alive long enough to do this .... ask anyone who knows me, they will testify that this is NOT a false statement!!
 
RE: the real story

RE: the real story

Pro,
Thanks a million. Can't say enough good things about my buddy Reed....he's the MAN! And boy can he cover those hills....I'd say he's got mountain goat blood in his system for sure.
As for Stinky, you just gotta understand oilfield trash....we all are kinda "un-refined" sorts along the lines of Uncle Eddie ..... we generally mean well, but you need to keep us out of site where no one can see or hear us lest we cause you great embarrassment. Oh, one more thing, we all specialize in sour gas, so I'll pray that you have him sleeping in his own special tent outside of camp on your hunt next year. And it better be made of stainless steel too.
 
RE: the real story

Holy crap! That's freakin hilarious. Sour gas? I happen to enjoy my own gas. I'm kinda a fart connoisseur. but the stainless steel tent would be a great idea.

RE: the real story

That is one georgeous bull. Congrats on one fine animal. For those of us who don't know who where the guides on this hunt?
 
RE: the real story

Reed Dalton and Dave Black of Team Mossback. Absolutely a superb fair chase hunt with nothing missing, no glitches, no hitches and a fairy tale ending for me/us. Busted our tails for one week in a vertical paradise. My experience was so far removed from the trash you read about here and other places regarding Mossback....really unfair to Reed et al and in my opinion quite unfounded. He and Dave are pros with hunting ethics second to none and my guess is it starts at the top. They do it cause they love it and it gives them the opportunity to hunt these monsters when they can't get out there for themselves.....what a deal huh?
 
RE: the real story

Whatever...... You were on that mountain at the same time mr spider was being shuttled back and forth in that "medivac chopper". guess they gave you a discount since the whirly bird was already in the area. Is it hard to shoot from a moving helicopter. Was it a running shot or did he finally run out of steam. I bet you didn't even shoot. His lungs finally exploded didnt' they. Haven't you been reading all these posts. mossback road blocks, helicopters, farm bulls, quads running down bulls, death threats, trip wires, land mines, and everything else. I just talked to an old friend at Lockheed Martin I used to work with. Apparently Doyle recently purchased a predator drone. Holy crap! Actually, every encounter I have had with mossback guys or conversations I've had with Doyle have led me to believe the same thing. Doyle IS a very hospitable and congenial guy. I have also heard that the guide you hunted with is top notch and the best guide Doyle has. That comes straight from Pro's mouth. I don't know him but pro is nice enough and I kinda believe him when he says you can't find a better bunch of guys than Reed, Dave, and doyle. Just my opinion but what do I know. I'm just some dumb out-of-stater who knows nothing about utah or its elk.

RE: the real story

Thanks for the comment about the guides. Sometimes all you hear are the things people make up. It's good to hear some facts from satisfied clients. It's people like you and Caelknuts that will disprove the rumor that Doyle always wears a hat to cover up the 666 on his scalp. Maybe just maybe he wears one for the same reason all the rest of us do.
 
RE: the real story

666 oh his forehead???? really?? wow!! I will seriously have to start using that one as well. lol. On a more serious note. I bet everyone knows doyle is a nice guy with the free handicap hunts and all. Only problem is that doyle does for a living what the rest of us spend a lifetime waiting to do once. Jealousy goes an awfully long ways, and these mm members are some awfully jealous people at times. Who can blame them. We look at doyle's videos the way the rest of the american males look at playboy. Is doyle the hugh hefner of Utah?

RE: the real story

Thanks for posting a side view of that bull. That thing is awesome. I can't believe how symetrical he is. One good looking animal.
 
RE: the real story

Yeah, I love the way he looks and can't wait to get him in the man-cave. He busted about 4-5" off the left G-1, other than that he's pretty dang symmetrical. We all agreed as the day went by that he is the only animal we'd ever seen that actually had ground "growth" instead of "shrinkage". He just got more and more impressive every time we looked at him. Like Stinky says, he's real knarly with lots of nice bends and curves.....tons of character. No way I'd trade him for one with a whole bunch more inches but less "studliness" factor. I was certainly blessed!!!
 
RE: the real story

LowCountry,

Hell of a bull man. I liked Stinky's rendition of the hunt but I guess he's just bummed that your bull was bigger than his this year! At least you didn't get a cartoon drawing for a pic like Cookie did though. Seriously, you guys both harvested a couple of great animals. Congrats, Cody
 
RE: the real story

Heck....let's play the guessing game boys. Winner gets to spend the night in a tent with StinkyStomper and he said he'd wear some real cute tighty pinkies and have Pro and Slam serve you all the Ripple you can drink!!! Oh boy for the winner!! We did a green score after we got him out and I'll have an official score in the not too distant future as we're coming up on 60 days, so lets see who's good out there. Stinky, you cannot play this game son. And if any other buds out there who know the green score are watching....you no play this game or else I sic Stinky on your sorry butt.
 
RE: the real story

Why ya gotta go and down me? What did I ever do to you? I try to be nice and post up a good buddies bull and then you go and dis me. See if I ever try to make you look like an idiot again.

RE: the real story

Oh...I'm so sorry I hurt your feelings good buddy. That's what I like about oil-field trash, er.. I mean tireless workers....very sensitive human beings who are so in touch with their inner selves. Uh oh, better check your watch cause I think its time to quit playing footsies with that water hauler in your comfy truck, brave the cold and go out there to get some pressure readings. Whick reminds me, you're not out on the Skittles per chance are you?
 
RE: the real story

LAST EDITED ON Oct-30-08 AT 07:27AM (MST)[p]Actually, I don't do much work for them. I only actually work for the Yates boys. My hands take care of mbob. But yes, if mbob is doing something to that well then we are probably on that well and no, I don't know whats going on with it. u need reports? Also, I don't play footsies with the water haulers. I play footsies with the local yote population. Now quit hurting my feelings. I'm in a puddle of tears thanks to you.
