Velvet Bulls & Fish

Here are some photos of some bulls and tiger trout this morning. The bulls were 75 yards off the road and the first coupls photos were taken from a moving truck so kind of fuzzy! One photo you can see the them good though! The tigers were caught a little earlier. Anyways one of those bulls looks pretty good for this time of year!

This is the first Big Bull I have seen this year. I zoomed the picture in so maybe you can get a better look at this big boy! I still can't beleive more people haven't replied to this. Maybe I am just more excited about it because I saw it? I don't know.

Awesome pictures sneekee. I assume this is Southern Utah given the size of the antler growth. I haven't seen anything up North with as much growth. The lead bull is going to be BIG!

That is a toad of a bull for sure. Would love to see him from a few different angles. What unit were you on if you don't mind saying?

sneekeepete
Well Dead-I I will have to keep the location of this bull a secret! I swore a pact with my Dad and Father in-Law not to give up his location. Sorry bout that.... lol since I am not home anymore and had to come back to North Carolina my dad is going to try and track this bull. I will keep you all updated as we see him grow :thumb

sneekeepete,

I've probably looked at the pics of that bull a dozen times already! So, I just had to say thanks for posting and best of luck trying to get that big 'un this year....he's gonna be a haus! Keep us posted if you see him again!

Well 182BC I wasn't lucky enought to draw a tag for bull this year so all I can do is take his picture if I see him. That is why I am not giving up the unit this guy is in! I want to be a little greedy and save him for next year when hopefully I draw out. I will keep everyone posted on him though. Duece is his name for that forked G-2 hes got btw.

It is getting pretty tough to keep this bulls where abouts a secret anymore lol As far as I know there are still only three people who know where this bull calls home. I bound by my word to keep it a secret as much as I would like to tell everyone.
Ox I can't tell you where we caught those tigers either cause it is so close to where that bull is.
I have been trying to clear up the last photos of this bull but they are just too blurry. It was raining and between that camera fogging up and the lense getting rain drops on it everything is just a blur of brown and green. Hopefully we will get some more of him especially after he finishes growing and sheds that velvet!

So sneekeepete, I guess that means you've seen him again since your original post? I hope you get some more pics so we can all see 'em! Also, since you won't be able to hunt him this year, hopefully he'll give everyone the sneak and you can go after him next year!

killerbee
if so how is he looking? do you know anyone who is going to try and go after him this year?
11
sneekeepete
As far as I know no one who has seen him has a tag for the unit he is on. I haven't even heard any rumors about anyone else know about this guy. He is eluding everyone like spider bull did. Needless to say I have 8 points saved up and still haven't drawn for the unit he is in. I am just holding my breath hoping he makes it till next year so my dad or I may have a chance at him.

Update on "Deuces"!!! We have named this guy Deuces do to his split G-2. He has even more Tremendous growth since the first of July. He has filled out with a 7x7 typical frame with the one extra that split off his right G-2. He is easily pushing the 400 mark now. I don't have any new pictures cause they spotted him across a canyon through the scope.
We still haven't heard of anyone else who has spotted him. Cross your fingers cause my dad is going to try and get a video and some better pics of him this up coming weekend. :thumb

Well, since the topic has been revived...sneekeepete, you ever hear anything about this bull? If he's still around, do you think ya'll will go try to find him again even if you can't throw any lead or arrows at him? I know you're rehabin' it right now, but maybe the thought of coming across this monster again will give you a little extra motivation! :)

As far as I know this bull still walks. My dad has been very busy this year and hasn't been able to get out and scout for him. I would imagine he is close to his home of last year though. Last year during the spike season and late cow elk season I found some great bulls besides him. They were in some nasty country but they are there. This fall when I get home it will be during the rut so I definatly plan on doing some snooping around for this bull and others. I will be armed with my camera so hopefully I can bring back some good photos to share.
