I just read this latest story about a trophy bull poached on the Wasatch Unit...shot between the eyes during the spike hunt. Having just had the opportunity to hunt LE Elk on the Wasatch during the muzzleloader hunt, this infuriates me. Many LE tag holders never see a bull that big during their hunts. I wish these crimes were punished more severely!

Great bull. Too bad someone couldn't practice some self control. It takes the better part of a decade to make a bull like that.-----SS

That looks like the big SOB me and my boy had opening morning on the ML hunt... at 60 yards. Couldnt get my camera out fast enough for a pict.

Really nice bull. Too bad.

I'm getting 353" with my version of the force. That should add a 10k trophy fee onto the fine.------SS

A "trophy" is anything with more than 5 points on one side, regardless of score, age, or size.......and the actual fee for a trophy bull elk is $8000....which often times gets reduced. No doubt there should be responsibility for broken laws etc, however not every case is black and white.

Sad! Saw a dozen or more nice Bulls when hunting bear and spike on the La Sal unit.

Not that hard to hold back.

Agreed Jason - what a freakin joke. Sad deal

Don Peay and the boys get more than that
