Mossback 400" Bull
hunt fit
9/9/10 9:26am
Has anyone seen the pics of this bull that was just killed by Mossback? I heard it was a 7X7 and around 410".
17,983
Look, the guy who got the last one dropped over 100k to get spidey. If you spent what some people spend on a home for something as rediculous as antlers you BETTER get a workd record or you look like an idiot.
Are their methods questionable, yes, but not illegal. I read an article in a hunting mag a few years ago about how annoying hunting in AZ is becoming because 1 person draws the tag, 10 guys go for the week and scout, make noise in the woods, drive around on 4 wheelers. Not terribly different.
My conclusion... I will never have a 100k to drop on killing an animal. I like my own adventures which are not nearly as glamerous. The plublicity Mossback brings to hunting overall is good. I saw several of the articles on the spidey bull and read them to form my own opinion. The guy was in almost zero physical shape, did not have to hike farther than his cell phone since he had people scouting for him, bought the fanciest rifle, fancy custom load barnes ammo, fanciest guide, etc because he has the money. The one article had pics of his trophy room and spidey is one of many B and C animals this guy has. To each their own...
There should at least be a designation for outfitted/guided vs. non guided in the record books.
I do not know this guy from a hole in the wall, but come'on... you do not provide any links for sites hosting information regarding unethical behavior or losing his guiding license? Just the mere mention that he has done thigns in the past when all we know for a fact is that he shot a world record after paying over 100k in license and guide fees. Without any other credible information he did nothing wrong and you are trying to smear him. Again, you're acting like a bunch of jealous girls.
It just like business experiences, bad news will travel a lot further than the good news. Basically what it comes down to is morals and ethics, not jealousy my friend
This is not me defending or supporting, I think Big Outfitters are bad for the average hunter. I've said it once and I'll obviously stating it again, they are hurting the average "JOE" and hunting for more than just a few. There needs to be regulation on when, where, how many etc. But anything for the mighty dollar seems to be the norm these days. Kinda sad actually. I don't think hunting is becoming a rich mans sport, I think for many it ALREADY is a rich mans sport and will only get worse is what I see. I watched a popular show recently, won't say which one but to be honest it disgusted me because I know the owners are very wealthy and they would drive around each year hunting (killing) deer/elk for TONS of money from certain landowners over and over and over. Was more like therapy and a drug to them than actual hunting. Just not my cup of tea, no work/effort on there part just pay someone to find me a big animal and let me shoot it and I'll put it on my wall. Hard to get real excited about that. IMO.
But I'm probably just jealous. lol
I'm not against guides or guiding either. I have not used one, but wouldn't rule it out in the future.
BIGR - look forward to the pics when you have time to find them.
Were these pics taken in Utah??
Hope to see them soon
Fair enough and i understand, but what about the pics? you have to show them
if not, this will just be another one of those "rumers" IMO
seems EVERYONE has witnessed it themselves,but NO ONE ever takes a picture- even with thier cell phone- which everybody has.
