Title: Utah Velvet Monster Buck
Post by: ELKBURGER on August 20, 2014, 12:53:37 PM
My buddy Doug drew the Henry Mountains Non resident archery tag. He arrowed this 37" buck on opening morning. Mossback located the buck weeks ago and had this buck as the #1 on their hit list. Should score around 220". Gorgeous Buck!

I totally agree that the logo thing is a complete disrespect to the animal and allowing guides to fleece our public resources is a bunch of crap!!!!

The beginning of the end!

My friend is so excited about this buck and the hunt. He most likely would have not got a chance at this buck if he had gone DIY. He had nothing but great things to say about the guide and his experience working with Mossback. I may never be in a position to hire a guide but we all know the guides have thier place in the hunting world and some folks need to use them. Only the negative comments on here have tarnished this buck :hello: I am so happy for my friend!

Weird comment.

It's unfortunate that people feel like comments posted in this thread need to be made. We wonder why people don't post more stories about their hunts.

"toe" was used since this is a family site.  :chuckle: but gonad was the preferred word

Buck of a lifetime, congrats to your friend!  My only negative comment is Velvet bucks do nothing for me, it's as big a turn off to me as being on a date with the wife and having the in-laws with us. :chuckle:  But in no way am I putting his deer or hunt down one bit, thats a great deer.  I would have loved to see it all rubbed up! Again, congrats!

Does it look like some photoshopping was done?  Guys hands in both pics look off especially the second pic  BTW, the animals are special and congrats to the hunters.

It's the angle of the photos. No photoshop. He's holding the deer by the neck and angling his head to the ground.

ok, monster bucks and I don't understand longarming.

The deer is a stud.
The hunter pursued his best option and earned his deer.

Having letter head on a hunting picture..................Each their own.

I apologize for my previous comments.

 :tup: Very nice Buck... The buck of a lifetime no matter who you are. My son guided for Mossback for 2 seasons and had nothing but great things to say about the guys who worked for them, including Doyle!  No one is perfect, but he enjoyed every hunt he guided, and he is a very standup young man!  :hello:
Congratulations to your friend again!

And the use of an ultra wide lens. It pulls objects close to the lens to a larger perspective and pushes distant items even further. Exacerbating the "long arming" perspective. Far more tacky than a logo IMHO.

I'm confused why the second buck was put up in this thread  :dunno:
Was it a one up thing or are they related???

Great bucks without the longarming!  :drool: :yike: :drool: :tup:

Only 1 nonresident tag for this hunt, so I believe Utah ignores preference points and uses raw odds only.  If so, his odds were over 700/1.  Verified this from Utah Game/Fish website.

I would give the gonad for that tag.  Maybe even both of them .
Yep, both of em for that tag. Late rifle would be a good one too though.
