I calling BS! No hunter would pass up a bull because it's to big. Come on, if the Spyder bull walked by you and you had a tag you would not shoot it. I calling BS!

This Denny guy certainly has the right to spend his money the way he wants, however hardly any of us have the time or financial resources to find an animal then stay on it tell a shooter can be found. and it seems like thats how more and more animals are being taken. I dont have any problem with some one making money by guiding but its just damn irritating when a dozen or more guys sit on an animal and use ultralites to keep track of it. Does that sound like fair chase? Another thing i have wondered and would be interested to hear any info regarding is, has any body seen this bull before it became a 500 class bull? B&C entered it to the books i understand, I know it was tested and all that. But how did this bull go from a ordinary 6 point bull or whatever it was to what it is now? I have not heard of anyone seeing it tell the same year it was shot. Makes me think it was a ranch bull turned loose. But regardless it is an amazing bull I think its sad that guiding has turned into babysitting the animal 24/7.

The guy paid over 150K to buy the tags which allowed him to use any weapon in any area of the state (open to hunting) I saw a comment on the internet i thought was very funny " 40 other people where after this bull" but those 40 people were bowhunter, not some rich dude with a dozen people spotting for him waiting on the call "hey we found him come get him"!!! hey id love to have a team head out into the woods each morning spotting a bull for me! but im a normal person , ive been putting in for year for high-end tags for elk , deer, bighorn sheep, and other species without any luck. PLUS think about this for a sec, of the other hunter who draw out for this unit dont think the TEAM MOSSBACK didnt have an effect on their hunt!!! With a team of spotter looking for this bull in a certain area they used hunter ethic to screw other people plan and simple. If i go into an area and see a truck parked on the side of the road and i planned on hunting this area "I WOULD FIND ANOTHER AREA TO HUNT OUT OF RESPECT FOR MY FELLOW HUNTER" but with a teams of spotter in the area looking for this bull how many times do u think this caused someone to move to a different area to hunt? SURROUND THE AREA UNTIL WE CAN GET OUR GUYS LINED UP FOR A SHOT MMMMM!!! Plain and simple , Im sure we will never know the effects of team mossback covering the area in looking for this giant elk but im 100% sure it did have an effect on the other hunters in the area !! and if they say otherwise then they are full of it !!! That the way i see it, this bull desired a far better end then this and its sad to see a once in a lifetime bull meet its end this way!! dont get me worry , ive hunted with outfitter and guides and they provide a special service and i dont have a problem with that but most guides work 1hunter to 1 guide, or 2 hunter to a guide, but 12 guides to 1 hunter lol. If this guys has any sense of achievement other then just being "A TRIGGER MAN" I DO FEEL SORRY FOR HIM, I THINK THE RECORD BOOK SHOULD HAVE AN * by his name just like barry bonds in baseball This whole deal is sad if u ask me !!

He depends on others to HUNT for him. It sounds like he is just a guy with a lot of money who likes to be the trigger man on big animals and then collect all of the rewards that true hunters really get. If you are a true hunter, all of the time, pain, blood, sweat, failures, successes are really earned and felt. Denny should really try to do it on his own without paying someone to hold his hand a lead him to these BIG animals. Denny might have worked hard to make his money but he is a phony when it comes to being a true hunter at heart, which I think Doyle Moss probably is but, money can change us all, if we let it. I might go on a guided hunt some day but, I already know that the satisfaction won't quite be there if I am successful because I have felt what it is like to hunt on my own and succeed and fail. Denny can't do it on his own so I don't think he really respects hunting or the animal as much as most hunters. He wants HUNTING GLORY without sacrificing the pain that it takes to get to be a successful true hunter and you know what, Doyle Moss knows this too.

As you can imagine it was a very intellectual thought that really contributed to the conversation. Thanks Al. We had to edit Al’s post a little bit to keep things family friendly.

(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.

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! elkoutfitter,

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.

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. Ok this comment is a little late but oh well!
