Yes, there are a few elk hunts going on right now for bulls in velvet.
it's very rare, not too mention expensive.

I heard 412 for the AZ bull also, but I heard it was confiscated pending an investigation of exactly where it was killed. I've also heard that the guy that found it did a rush application to become a guide, so that the guide service that was hired by the auction hunter could pay him a finders fee too tell them where it was.... I have no highly reliable source, but that's the rumor.

Stikflicker, it is my understanding that the McClendons were the ones that helped, but as you mentioned I have no first hand source.

Some of these tags like this whether a "super raffle" tag or the Gov. tag in AZ weas extended until July of this year.
