Utah Bull

[BuckHunter]

Had the lucky boxer shorts on again this year. I shot this freak spike bull from my treestanding last week. When he ran off he knocked down a tree with a 6 inch trunk. Special thanks to the 4 friends that helped pack it out until 3am.

My buddy also shot a standard spike.

FYI a spike bull in Utah is a male elk with a spike on at least one side. Any points branching below the ears do not count.

Strong work, Jim. He is a weird looking elk for sure. Good to hear the lucky boxers are still in service!

Nice!!

Did you have an idea he was there beforehand?

I guy I know got an elk just like that. The taxidermist wanted to put a full rack on the spike side, but my friend like the uniqueness of it.

Nice job. Here I am with the bull tag and only seeing spikes and cows

Yes. I had seen the bull 4 hours before and contacted 3 people to verify he was legal. Then I said a prayer he would walk my trail while I was in my stand. Prayers were answered 10 minutes before last light.
