Arizona Raffle Tag Downs 422 Velvet Elk
July 24th, 2008 David King - King's Outdoor World
Just got word yesterday that the 2007-2008 Arizona Raffle Tag holder just shot a monster velvet bull elk on Monday. Elk in July you say? This is the raffle winner from 2007 and Arizona gives them the whole year to hunt and ends on July of the next year. Crazy! He had until the end of July 2008 to fill his tag.
So the raffle tag holder, Clark Guy, held out for a big bull and had passed on two other 400 class bulls in two days before getting this big boy. With the help of Mullins Outfitters he was able to down a monster velvet bull. It is a 7×6 non-typical that green scores 422 gross. There is an extra in-line type point on the right side by the third point. Beautiful bull and the velvet looks to be in very good condition.
This bull is massive and has 76-inches of mass!
Look for more on this bull and you will eventually get the whole story in a future issue of Hunting Illustrated Magazine.

Raffle tags are an excellent opportunity for all hunters to have a chance to draw a truly limited tag.
The opportunity to pursue your game for a full year is amazing.
It makes sense that Clark would hold out til the last of his hunt, passing on other Bulls, until he was sure he was ready to use the tag of lifetime.
Congratulations Clark!
