Kyle Osterand “MJ” Bull The quest for a true Utah GIANT came down to a single shot opportunity. That shot was laced with mental and physical fatigue. The bull named “MJ” fell after a grueling 19 day hunt.

Congratulations Kyle on well earned trophy.

Connor Belnap Bull 16-year old Connor scouted all fall with his dad. He spent the whole week before the hunt trying to turn up one of their hit list bulls. They located their bull Wednesday before the hunt started. They watched him all Friday and Connor was able to kill him around 2:00 p.m. on the opening day, with a 400-yard shot.

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.

They hunted this bull exclusively for 12 days. It was very wet with heavy afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

The area they were hunting flooded. Several times they were caught in the middle and had to wait for the water to subside so they could get back to camp. They braved a few water crossings too deep and fast for the ATV’s. Everything finally worked out when the bull made a mistake on the last evening of 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.

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).

This bull grew on the Garn brothers when it hit the dirt. No one in the group was willing to score him over 400 prehunt... those 60-inch main beams fooled them. (Shown above with brother Spencer and his giant Utah bull killed in 2017 that scores 426 5/8).

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.

BBQ SEAR BOX The one thing on your mind after you return home from a successful hunt: meat. But should you sear it or smoke it? Now you can do both. Introducing the SmokePro BBQ Sear Box, the searing tool that attaches right to your pellet grill and reaches up to 900˚ F for a true seared finish. Smoky flavors, succulent sear marks. This is how you feast like a King.

New For 2019 Whether it is the majestic antlers or the crisp bugle of a rutting bull in September, the mighty elk is something to behold. We have a great mix of some of the most impressive typical bulls, including pending world records, to state record non-typical giants that we have re-created and brought back to life in the 2019 King’s Calendar.

In addition, we have also provided a layout and design that is both functional and appealing hanging on the wall. Included are some of the biggest and most impressive elk from as early as last hunting season to some of the great legendary bulls from seasons past that you will enjoy each month throughout the entire year.

Game/Fish Activity Forecast When time is limited, or you just want to increase your odds as best as possible to find and see more game and fish, we have included our Activity Forecast. This gives you the days for highest activity for the month, it is scientifically proven that both game and fish are affected by moon patterns. Look for the moon and star icons included on each month for peak activity days.
