Ok Pete, your sarcasm drew me in just like you had hoped.
Seriously, 2 bulls come to mind, that I know of, from the Uintahs one is a 340 the other a 350. I do not remember detailed scores, but both bulls are very nice.
You are right, your picture represents many fine Utah bulls from a general area. Your picture is proof that the Wildlife Board should meet and issue one more tag. This spike should die and never even suggest he might see old age. Someone should send some hot lead or a broadhead through him immediately.
What should hunters expect Pete? By analyzing the wapiti lifecyle, one would quickly realize that this spike is a 1.5 year old elk that is legal game. Therefore, since he is legal, meets the minimum requirements, and is Mother Nature's way of beginning the growth of this elk, you and I should expect nothing better or bigger. Afterall, this elk represents what was typical off of a general unit 20 years ago. So as a general season guy this represents the best I should hope for.
I would agree if a lazy road hunter or ATV hunter drove around this is what he would harvest. If people would hunt the Uintahs, that is right hunt the Uintahs, they could get a big bull. This would require work and hunting, not shooting. There are hundreds of square miles of wilderness where big bull live in the Uintahs. Get in shape, hike in, and big bulls can be had. It takes work.
Help me to understand your opportunity motives Pete. You state 20 years, 13 points, and no tag. What drives you to believe in the 4.5 year old age objectives at a time the scales are swinging in your favor? I am in the same boat and maybe you could help me understand your thought process to sway my opinion.
