I have always wondered why sailfish mounts are painted with bright colors when all of the pictures of sailfish are much more drab. When my brother-in-law caught this beauty, suddenly it made more sense. Check out the sail on this fish.
We first saw this sailfish because it’s sail was sticking out of the water like a shark from jaws. This showoff tail danced all the way into the boat. Congrats on a beautiful fish Bryan.
My buddy Brandon sent me this amazing photo he took. The photo was taken in the foothills of the bedroom community of Bountiful, Utah. Thanks Brandon for another amazing photo.
The Goliath Grouper-fka Jewfish- makes you think you are looking at trick photography. Growing up to 8 feet long and weighing in at up to 800 lbs, these monsters can grow to the size of small car (well almost). Check out these impressive beasts.
Photographed by Michael Patrick O’Neill in Jupiter, Florida, USA.
Click on the photo above for more Goliath Grouper photos including several caught by fisherman (amazing photos) and links to Goliath Grouper fishing guides.
Check out this tremendous Alligator Gar which was caught by Stephen Buss. With the head of a gator and the body of a torpedo, these bad boys will eat anything, including water birds. It is not unusual for these amazing creatures to reach weights of over 200 pounds.
What a monster.
Thanks to Sharon at Carp and Cat Busters for use of the photos. To learn more about these incredible fish or if you are interested in chasing one down visit http://www.carpandcatbussters.com/usa-alligator.htm
Brandon, thanks for the amazing photos you took from your truck. Utah doesn’t have a large black bear population, but it does have the distinction as producing the current Boone & Crockett Club world record for a black bear. The world record bear, which ironically died of natural causes, had a skull measurement of 23 and 10/16 inches (1975) . Here is a link to the record book black bear story. http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgRecords/WorldRecordsDetail.asp?area=bgRecords&type=SKULLS Amazing chocolate Brandon!
Beautiful Utah Chocolate Black Bear
Brandon had a close call in an ATV accident earlier this year. We’re glad you’re still with us bro.
TV personality and avid outdoorsman Marc Watts with one of the most sought after trophies in the world. This huge bull is #5 in the alltime record book for Lord Derby Eland. These majestic animals are found only in the Central African Republic, Sudan, Cameroon and Senegal and present one of the challenging African adventures.
Marc has harvested literally hundreds of African trophies. He is one of the great hunters and marksmen of our generation. Check out Marc’s websites http://www.marcwatts.com/ and http://www.sabletrailproductions.com/

Marc thanks for use of the photos on thegreatwhitehunter blog. Looking forward to your next videos.
My son was the one who first saw her. She had killed a yearling doe and had dragged it into a field. A friend took care of the rest. I have since learned that there is actually a bounty on these accomplished hunters to help maintain some balance with the mule deer numbers. Predators and Ungulates a plenty out west-as evidenced by the recent delisting of the wolf in Idaho and Montana.
Spencer is one of my great buddies. He was with me when I shot my Booner Alaska Black Bear. I was with him on his first big game harvest. His story of this amazing cougar is one for the ages. Looks like it might have eaten a few of the hounds on its way up the tree.

Congrats on an great cat Spencer! Taken with the cougar hunting legend Wade Lemon and his outfit in Utah on a conservation tag.

Artic Red River Outfitters continues to have one amazing chunk of wildlife heaven in Northern Canada. Check out these amazing mountain caribou. Thanks to Don Peay of the wildlife conservation powerhouse SFW for the photo. I love Don’s plug “look at the photo and guess which bull is 466, which one is 430, 405 and 380.”

Hunts for Heros comes through again. Two of these hunters were servicemen whose hunts were paid for by SFW donors. Another of these lucky hunters got his hunt from a drawing at an SFW banquet. SFW Keep up the awesome conservation effort. Thanks again, Don for the photo.
Ernest Hemingway-was marlin fishing better in his day?
Those were the days-Right? Many would say that is the myth of the great white hunter of yesteryear.
This blog is to show that today is as good as it’s ever been. Our own adventures and a bit of living vicariously through our buddies. It’s a blog for real men-everything that is bigger, badder and…more entertaining.
