Spider Bull "Wanna Be"

At Broadmouth Canyon Ranch this year in Idaho we have just harvested the biggest bull elk ever killed. It is going to beat the old SCI record for a typical elk by almost 30 inches. It scored a whopping 526 Typical and 545 Non-typical.

I dunno anything except this about this bull... You cant tell me he dont have some kind of growth hormone, and look how ridiculously much he looks like spider bull...

But im not gonna judge anyone or anything in the matter.. Definitely is an amazaing animal and congrats to the hunter! What a hog!

Just to be fair, the ranch does offer both high-fence as well as free range hunting. But with the refferal to SCI and not Boone&Crockett, I would assume this is a high-fence animal. I'm sure the facts will come out sooner or later. I wish SCI would discredit these types of animals because I prefer their method of scoring for big game trophies. I personally don't like the deductions in B&C because I think that trophies should be based upon total amount of bone and not beauty/symmetry especially in animals like pronghorn where there is no Non-typical category. I would also like to see separate categories for ranch/private guided hunts and public land DIY hunts. To me, a 160-170 DIY PL buck is way more of a trophy than a 190 winter range ranch special.-----------------SS

 I am not disagreeing with your statement one bit. But that is still one hell of a set of horns. May not really wanna read about the hunt or anything but I would like to see more pictures. Juiced or not I think he looks awesome.

Yup, it's a high fenced hunt. We've went over this topic many, many times. Most of us will agree....it's certainly not a trophy of any kind in most of our books.

Just horrible. We ride in the sand dunes in St Anthony, ID. At the top of the dunes you can see the high fence, people pay close to 10k to hunt in the fenced area. The breed the elk with Stags from Canada. So lame.

We drove along the fence and could see people driving around in the fenced area with their camo. Fail

Nice Livestock..... High fence aside that is one huge set of horns but I agree not much of a trophy when it is grown behind a fence.

Thanks for the pic though.

Hate them or love them that's everyones choice. I love high fences for only one reason. My dad. my dad used to hunt all the time when he was younger and he is the one who got me started and hooked on hunting and fishing. My dad has done very well for him self, but 5 years ago he went through 5 back surveys 3 foot surveys and got 2 new knees. Needless to say he can not do the DIY hunts anymore, or even go on a guided hunt. He dose go to the ranches and can essay afford to take a big animal. He dose not brag about it, he just like to get out and put meat in the frezzer. he dose have one Elk mounted it scored 450 but he just likes the look of it in his big ass loge home. So for that I say the high fence places are ok.

am sure you guys also know that the "Spider" bull was shot by a hunter who paid $40k to have the bull watched for over 4-6mos, keeping track of its habitat...that is what most of the guides are saying in the Wy, Idaho, MT areas...

 "supposedly"

he paid alot more than that, had the bull watched the whole time then when the season opened people were on that bull 24/7, any one got close the employees would chase them off. got the bull surronded in a bowl flew the hunter in by helicopter. he walked in shot the bull took some pics got back in his helicopter and flew home.

I have no proof but have friends that have had run ins with the mossback crew and so i could see it being very very very plausible.

The problem the way I see it is what happens if/when one of these high fence frankensteins gets loose and breeds with wild stock? Its hard tellin what they have done to these animals and I definitely don't want them introducing any of thier problems into the native population. It is like purebred dogs, they all have some kind of hereditary health problems that good ol mutts are immune to.

 No you are supposed to wait for 24 hours before you start hunting after flying in any type of aircraft.

If you eat the meat from an animal like this will your testicles shrink, your voice deepen, and become more hairy? Just wondering.---------SS
