Farm grown racks
Well I thought you might enjoy following this story. Before I get blasted let’s get it out there. I understand this is a farm raised, pampered deer. I enjoy looking at and understanding the game I hunt. I think that we can learn from farmed animals, some of what they do, how they act, and when they rut can help us in the field on the real thing. Trav is more of a fan of this than I am but there’s a small local farmer that... [Read More...]
The OCC’s Gander Mountain Bike
I am not sure when it started, but I am hooked to American Chopper. I have all of the episodes on my DVR and when I am bored and can’t find any more hunting shows I flip it to American Chopper. I love the crew at the OCC and I love watching the way they interact and seeing them as they create amazing bikes. I may be drawn to American Choppers because my brothers and I all worked for my Dad’s construction company for years and seeing them... [Read More...]
The Spider Bull is the New Non-Typical World Record Bull Elk
Congratulations to Doyle Moss and Denny Austed for Harvesting the New World Record Non-Typical Bull. This bull has been on the minds of hunter’s since it was first spotted last Spring. It has caused several controversial conversations in hunting circles and I doubt this announcement will help that at all. I am interested to hear what everyone thinks. Some people will probably feel that this bull does not deserve to be the World Record Holder.... [Read More...]
Early Pictures of the Spider Bull
We received this picture from one of our readers. It is a picture of an Elk that he saw in Monroe 3 years ago that looks like the Spider Bull. I think this elk definitely has the same antler composition as the Spider Bull, and my vote is that this is in fact the Spider Bull in his younger years. This picture is huge because if this is in fact the Spider Bull than it lays to rest the myth that the Spider Bull is a farm raised bull. Let us know what... [Read More...]
I just got off the phone with Doyle Moss
I emailed Doyle Moss a little bit earlier today because of all of the controversy surrounding the Spider Bull. I have heard all of the comments about his guides blocking roads, herding the bull and slashing hunter’s tires. I had not heard Doyle’s side of the story, and so I began my search for the truth in the comment section on this post. Instead of looking at different opinions and articles, I went straight to the source. Within a couple... [Read More...]
Governors Tag?
With the recent Spider Bull going down the question’s about the Governors tag start to come up. I know that the money goes to state wildlife conservation and that is a good thing. I know that the money is closely watched to make sure it is used for that purpose. So in the end I think it is good for the state to auction these off. But on the flip side you have these outfitters that seem to want to do anything they can to secure the guide services... [Read More...]

Sound off on the Spider Bull
I want to hear everyone’s thoughts on the spider bull. I gotta be honest I was pulling for a hunter that was lucky enough to draw out and had the hunt of his life. Nothing against Mossback they did a fantastic job bringing this bull into the spot light and keeping tabs on it until they could get a shooter on it. This bull was taken on a governor’s tag. Most states have these they are auctioned off and big outfits will pick them up for... [Read More...]
Spider Bull is Down!!
Team Mossback just broke the news that the spider bull has been taken by Denny Austad. Rumor is that it was on a governors tag two days ago. Congrats to team Mossback, they were the ones to first spot this amazing bull elk and they were able to lead Denny in to take this monster of a bull!! We all look forward to pictures of this bull.

The Spider Bull Elk is still out there
Well Kody tagged out Saturday, he took a nice bull but not the one he was after. He never saw the infamous spider bull, neither has any other hunter I’ve heard about since the opener. So that bull is still out there. While it looked to be a perfect hunt for Cody this bull got massive by being smart and he has holed up since the opener. I know the Monroe area is a limited entry and the hunt Kody drew was limited but there may still be... [Read More...]
