BUGLEnmIN - This bull only grew to 400" because the management plan on the SJ is to highly restrict opportunity in order to hopefully grow a bull this old, and this big, so that a guy like Joe can then pay an outfitter top dollar to kill the bull. I also speculated that he paid for an auction tag at our Hunting Expo to move to the front of the line without waiting for Bonus Points.
So, as Utah residents, we all sacrificed opportunity by being complacent with our system. We all said- sure, let's restrict hunting to just 20 people per year for the elk rut, in the rut on SJ. That way, there will be a few 400" bulls for the state to pimp out.
