I am impressed with that bull for sure.  I am not a Debbie-downer but I am not envious.  I envy those that draw a tag, scout themselves, and hunt insanely hard and kill a bull of this magnitude.

If you had $3,000,000 that came in every year, would you feel the same way?

BTW, he did draw a tag.  I'm not a proponent of this style of hunting because I enjoy the nitty-gritty as much as anyone but what he did was legal and ethical, just not our style.  When I have that kind of money, I will probably spend an exorbitant amount of money on raffles...I probably wouldn't hire mossback though.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Great bull! Congrats to the hunter!  ;)
My biggest fear is when I die, my wife will sell all my guns for what I said they cost me!     ;)

My views on HOW he killed the bull aren't related to money so I don't understand your question.  Why would money make me hire a mob of Mossback idiots to track a bull for me just so I can shoot it?  I am cool with him spending the money on the tag itself, getting the tag is the easy part if you have the money.  I just cannot bring myself to ever pay a penny to someone to find me an animal.  Especially a crooked crew like MOSSBACK.  I see it as a waste to pay that much for a tag and not spend every waking second that you could trying to find that bull yourself.  I just love that feeling at the end of the day that I did it, not someone else.  Sure we all have buddies that help along the way on a tag but that is not the same.  I wasn't at all down playing the bull or even hating on him for spending the money for the tag, I was just saying I am not envious of HIM.  If I am going to ENVY someone, I will wait for that guy/gal that draws the tag, hunts hard, and kills a bull like that.  Just not gonna envy him personally for that accomplishment

I don't claim to know the whole story but I'm 99% positive that there was not a whole crew of Mossback guys hired to track the bull. I'm 99% sure that there was not a soul from Utah here at all.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

You are correct.

Based off the past two years I doubt Kevin needs a guide anymore. He hunts a long time to kill those bulls probable knows the blues pretty good by now.

If i'm not mistaken, I have the sheds from this bull from last year. I'll post them if I can ever get them to upload. It is definitely a dandy bull!
