Looks like a throw-back to the Huge Irish/England Island Stags of the pre-historic period - except for the body I think. I'd be surprised if it wasn't a genetically altered 'pet'.

they seem to have a lot of video of an animal that has supposedly eluded all those hunters for so many years to be able to grow so big....why is is that it seems to be the millionaires that take these monsters?

One thought,, maybe they can afford to go to places the "average Joe" can't...hire people to do work and spotting for them, etc...
Rumor has it this IS suppose to be legit..guess time will tell..always does..

FYI...Just got this off of the Barnes Bullets Monthly Newsletter..
Ripp
*****************
Undoubtedly, many of you know about the great Utah “Spider Bull” so many hunters were following this season. Well, the hunt has officially come to an end. The bull was taken by Denny Austad, a long-time supporter of Barnes Bullets and our great friend.
On the morning of Tuesday, September 30th, Doyle Moss and Team Mossback put Denny in the right place at the right time to take this magnificent trophy. He was shooting a .300 Austad II, a cartridge of his own design, loaded with 168-grain Tipped TSX’s. A quartering shot with the bullet placed slightly forward of the shoulder at just under 200 yards penetrated the length of the body, destroying both lungs and liver, anchoring the bull immediately.
Many members of the Barnes crew were fortunate enough to put our hands on the awesome rack – approximately 500 inches of horn! Official B&C scoring will take place in 60 days. This couldn’t have happened to a more grateful, humble, down-to-earth guy who counts his many blessings daily. Congratulations, Denny! Keep enjoying the ride.

I think the governors tag is a bunch of BS. We all have our opinions, and this is mine. I'm not trying to start an argument, but I feel this bull has no place in the record books. Not because of the bull, not because of the money spent, but because of the time allowed to hunt this bull. With the governors tag he was allowed to hunt this bull for 10 weeks. 2 and a 1/2 months!! No way it should be allowed. Records should come from regular seasons, where everyone is playing on an equal playing field. Not from extra time bought with hundreds of thousands of dollars. That's just my opinon.
