I have heard he caught the Spider Bull and put a leash around his neck so he could treat him like a pet until Denny could come down and shoot him. (I wonder how many jealous hunters will re-tell that rumor.)

So the only time the authorities were called is when he was caught sneaking in on the private property? Why didn’t hunters call the authorities when their tires were slashed?

Looking at the group picture when the Spider Bull was dropped there is not one hunter in the picture that woud scare me off. Why were the other hunters down there so scared of Doyle’s guys? I would love to hear from a hunter that had his tires slashed.

I did not receive a kickback from Doyle, so i have no reason to give a great guy story of Doyle. The accounts of what happened are so far off I can’t believe this type of stuff happened. If it did happen I am shocked the local hunters didn’t stand up for themselves more.

elkoutfitter,

While I hunt with a group I have never used a spotter on a hunt, why can’t you just do it by yourself? I view an outfitter as a glorified spotter.

The only difference between you and someone that pays for an outfitter is that you are a freeloader and don’t want to pay someone to do what an outfitter does. You justify it by saying that they are just a “spotter”.

Man up and hunt on your own if you are going to talk such a big game!

This story you tell about the spider bull is partially true…but also filled with some very important mis-information. I was also down on the mountain in search of this bull and fighting with Mossback. Absolutely – tires were slashed, trees were cut down to block roads, night vision goggles were used to track the bull 24/7. The damn gyro plane flew right over my head! The specific mis-information I refer to – is that the group “lost” the bull for a couple of days….that meant he moved over to some private ground nearby. The group was caught sneaking onto this property and was turned into authorities even after a cash offer to the owner. Funny thing though, I guess the “authorities” think Doyle is pretty neat too as they were followed and seen having dinner that night. In NO WAY did any public archers, muzzle loader and rifle hunters have the same opportunity to take this bull. You want to know who thinks this thing is on the up and up… just follow the dollars. Anyone who got a little kickback is eager to give their great guy story of Doyle. I’m proud of the land owner who turned down the cash offer Doyle gave him even though they eventually drove the bull off his land for the taking. You really think a bull worth that much money was “lost” and magically found two weeks later. C’mon.

Ok this comment is a little late but oh well!
Yeah this guy may have worked his whole life for his money but
Not this hunt. If you have to spend over thousands of dollars for a kill
That’s bs! Ecspecailly for an elk. Seriously come on! I would rather walk all over
The mountains all huntin season and not kill something then have someone tell me
Give me this much money, here’s your tag, and now if you go to this spot at this time, and wait for this long,
This big bull is gonna walk out and graze in this spot for so long, and there’s your kill.
Hunting is all about the chase and the hard work for a kill. And REAL hunters understand that, all this guy is going to remember the money he spent for it.
There was no chase to this hunt what so ever, it was all just handed to him.

sooo. this is wat i think i have been hunting fair chase for fifteen years and ill tell you this it is the most exciting adrealine filled thing i can do. So to all you disrespectful hunters out there talking crap about this man for killing a monster bull grow up seriously! This man worked his butt of in life and obviously it paid off for him. You wanna know something to this day my dad still tells me to keep up the work and work hard support your family and you know wat it has paid off i have been able to hunt for years cuz i work. Its people like the idiots above talking crap about this man than ruin hunting along with all the peta ppl out there and our president might i add also. So grow up work your ass off and it will pay off trust me! Oh and us hunters need to stick together to if we want to be able to continue to hunt in the near future.

Money doesn’t by everything! Jealous…pefft what do you know….Ive hunted my a__ off for years in great areas and seen some BIG BULLS (400 class f.y.i) and just couldn’t pull off an ethical kill or get a shot in range (bow or gun). All hunts were by myself and with a spotter, but I did my best and the result is that I didn’t pay anyone to babysit me. Go back to wishing and hoping to win the lottery to do what I do and love to do every day!

Doyle Moss is simply a great guide with some great guides working for him, The people bashing Mossback or Denny on here should find somewhere else to play, Mossback done a great job and Denny paid his due’s that go towards conservation, My Congrats to the Mossback team and Denny, what they went through to get this bull on the ground was not easy, and only a real panzy ass would think so, Kind Regards Gordon Smith, Old Tree Gun Blanks.

Dude
Denny dontated more money to wild life than you have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He just contributed more towards conservation than any tree hugger!!!!!!!!!!
And the state recognized him with a privalege.
Thats the point of all governors tag.

Its available to all of us. Just do what Denny did. Get a good education, go into bussines or corporate America
then spend your hard earned money as you wish.

I’m very proud of Denny. You see his hunt began when he started college. It took him decades to this Elk.
Isn’t America great?!!!!!!!!!!
