26 year wait - Utah elk hunt

[Jofes]

The bull I tried for on the opener was killed yesterday by the UT gov tag holder and scores 430 typical as a 6x6. Bummed, but oh well.

But does he make a good sandwich? That's sucks, but you get to keep hunting one of the coolest tags around.

Hopefully it wasn't taken with the aid of 20 spotters with radios, but I doubt it.

Hopefully all the rain down that way isn’t washing you out!

I saw a picture of that bull a few minutes ago and immediately thought of you, bummer…

His antlers are dirty, you didn’t want that one anyways.

Edit to add: his 3rds are too long. Nobody likes that.

Everything on that rack is too long but I could tell that from the on the hoof photos @Beaver Hunter had posted.

It might not be the same bull, I hope not. Same guides that bumped the bull on opening of archery are the ones behind that one. Regardless - Utah has some huge elk.

I guess you weren't eager enough on the Beaver to compete with WL and crew.

At least you put your eyes on a giant, even if it's dead now. I sympathize with you, I hunt the same area in Colorado every year, it gets lots of attention from outfitters and swarms of Utah hunters along their huge posses of spotters hoping to surround any 200" buck they can find. I find it odd how the hunting culture in one state evolved the way it did. Very unfortunate.

Bet the tag is already punched and your looking for the perfect click bait

Oh man, that dude has me by almost 100 lbs, I’m a string bean!

I would by no means call myself a string bean, and that dude’s gotta 100 lbs on me!

Guy looks super agile....a mountain climbing beast.
