“Untouchable” The giant non-typical buck named “UNTOUCHABLE” was first seen in 2013 and watched in 2014 and 2015. Then in 2016, Mike was helping 13 year old girl find a management buck and he barrowed her rifle and it was over after a three year quest.

With unbelievable bottoms, this bull was easily identifiable, but very tough to keep track of. They first found him in July, but he would only hang out for a week or so before he left for an extended walkabout. Even after the rut, this bull was never content enough to settle into his winter range. In late November, he finally stayed put long enough to finish the hunt.

This 7x7 bull was a legend of the unit. They watched him all summer long, and were fortunate to harvest him on the 3rd day of the hunt, spot and stalk style. Many thanks to all my family and friends involved. They are memories that will last forever.

“Brutus� Dwayne watched the buck grow since it first appeared in 2015 as a mid 150s buck. In 2016, the buck exploded in size. On top of the larger antlers, the buck grew matching drop tines. One of the most striking features about the buck is the overall mass. Even the tall brow tines are heavy. Add the extremely long tine length and it all adds up to an eye-popping 194-inches of antler.

The Garn brothers knew this bull existed, so they secured a tag and scouted hard. They didn’t find him until two days before the hunt started. It was a very long summer but ended great! He ended up being #2 in Utah and #16 all time for typicals. (Shown above with brother Tyson and his giant Idaho bull killed in 2016 that scores 413 5/8).

After finding a shed from the year before, Dave knew there was a massive buck in the area. People in the area talked about a monster that was roaming the sage flats, but Dave had never seen him. One evening right before dusk, Dave spotted a group of bucks laying down in the sage. He crawled for over an hour to get close. He was finally close enough to get a better look – it was him. Dave took the shot with his muzzleloader and made it count. It would be the new SCI Record Book holder at 239 2/8�.

Kyle Hass Buck On a cold, late-season hunt, Kyle Hass found a North Dakota monster chasing does in a slough. After a few days of trying to get close to the buck, and hearing many gunshots in the area, Kyle and his friends thought the worst – someone else had shot the buck. But, after checking one last area, the buck busted out of thick cattails giving Kyle a 80 yard running shot. Kyle didn’t miss and when they walked up on him, he was bigger than they even imagined.

He left his archery antelope hunt in AZ and drove all night to get to the hunt area in Nevada by daylight. Although very sleep deprived, they turned the bull up a few hours after daylight. Shortly after, some archery hunters spooked him up the canyon. They got lucky and found him again about 1.5 hours before dark. The rifle got the cobwebs blown out as it put the bull down. Awesome bull and awesome hard working people from Bull Ridge Guide Service.
