The Spider Bull is Down
Word is out and things are going crazy. The Spider Bull is dead. Word is that he may green gross score 500 4/8 and Team Mossback guided on the bull! I will post more as I find out more of the facts and see what we can find out. The hunter was Denny Austad. Denny is the Governor Elk Tag holder for Utah for 2008. The Spider Bull has eluded hunters for an amazing amount of time. What a legend.
UPDATE: 10/01/2008 - The photos of the Spider Bull have been posted. I will do the courtesy and link over to mossback.com for you to see more if you want. Here is what is posted by Doyle Moss about the bull:
September 30, 2008 will be a day marked in history. On this day a great bull was taken on public land in Utah. The “Spider” bull, a pending new world record and state record was taken by Denny Austad while hunting with Team MossBack. The “Spider” bull has a gross green score of 500 4/8 inches and a net green score of 488 inches.
So what do we know…The Spider bull rubbed his velvet off, became very weary, nobody could get on him, finally gets taken by the Governor Tag holder Denny Austad, the green score of 500 4/8 gross and 488 net non-typical is a pending world record.
This will shatter the current world record of 465 2/8 net B&C if the following happens:
- The bull is officially scored after the 60-day drying period
- The paperwork is submitted to Boone & Crockett
- Boone & Crockett accept the entry
- The bull is a pending world record for Boone & Crockett
- The antlers will have to be invited and taken to the next panel score
- If the accepted “panel” official score is over the 465 2/8 net mark…we have a new World’s Record Non-typical Elk
We will wait and see what happens next.
