Outdoor Writer Report post Posted August 2, 2012 Nice Bull!!! If he's one and the same from Texas, Corey Knowlton and I got to visit a bit on my flight to South Africa in 2003. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted August 2, 2012 Congratulations to Corey and everyone that helped him to harvest this magnificent bull. I'm sure this elk just didn't drop out of the sky after all the other hunts were over. This elk has been around for many years and alot of regular tag holders had a chance at him. In my opion the money that was generated from this tag out weighs this awesome bull. It's a win win situation for our wildlife, the hunter, and for all of us who enjoy hunting. I would like to thank the azgfd for making this tag available and for those who have spent $$$$$$$ in much needed project funds. TJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted August 2, 2012 What an AMAZING bull! Big and beautiful!! As a heads-up to those who may have noticed, I have deleted a few of the posts/comments that were leaning towards negative sentiment regarding some of the folks involved in this hunt. The purpose of this thread is only so folks can know that the Governor's tag was filled and to allow all of us a chance to get a look at the magnificent animal. Please keep the comments positive, or don't comment at all on this thread. Those that know Amanda well also understand the sincere spirit of this site, and hopefully will appreciate this thread for what it is. If you have opinions to share on Governor's tags, raffle tags, etc, please utilize a different thread (preferably in the Political forum) to voice those opinions. Thanks, Stan PS: Yes, big congrats to Eric Hively and all who took part! Eric was nice enough to donate a day of guiding help for my oldest son on a Jr. Javelina hunt a few years ago. We were fortunate to get some time in the field with him, and my son ended-up killing a pig. He is a great guy with an extreme passion for his family and hunting IMO. Kudos to him!

Snapshot Report post Posted August 2, 2012 It's rare to get a bull in velvet, let alone a monster like that. What is the expiration date on the Gov's tag? Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
