So what all you guys are implying is that if you don't find an animals sheds, it doesn't exists??? Monroe is a thick unit and there are more than enough places to hide in there. It is possible that the bull was transported from a ranch but I doubt it.
Everybody rags on the Mossback team for being a bunch of cheaters, but the fact is "They are the best at what they do". They are probably the best guides in the world. They hire spotters (Peak Freaks) that dedicate their lives to finding the biggest baddest bulls on the mountain. Moss brings in some big money every year, because he is a smart guy and started a great business and he pays his employees good. The clients that hunt with him are usually hunters just like you and me, they just have a lot more money.
As far as the non-resident hunters screwing up our odds, that's a bunch of crap! Non-residents have a separate draw so it doesn't affect your odds. Those guys that have the big bucks just buy a goveners tag or other auctioned tags. Most of the time the money from those tags goes to help the habitat and animals in Utah, so we should be grateful that these guy spend the money that they do.
The spider bull was on the unit for the whole year and any resident hunter with a bow or rifle had the chance to find him and take him. The Mossback team worked hard and found the bull (As they always do) and now we have another record because of them.
There are plenty of stories going around about Moss and his team, but I think most of them are rumors. When someone is successful or famous, there are always stories to be told.
Believe what you want, but I believe that the Spider Bull is a monarch and was legally taken. Doyle and the team take record elk every year that are proven resident bulls, why do they need to cheat??? It's like Jordan trying to cheat in basketball, he doesn't need to [
