Lloyd Jacobsen with his Utah state record elk scoring 421 6/8 gross and 408 4/8 net typical B&C
Yesterday I had the great opportunity to visit with Lloyd Jacobsen at his home and see first hand his awesome bull elk. It was great to sit down and have Lloyd tell me the story on his great hunt for this bull. It is amazing how many people who saw this bull on the hoof believed he was “only” a 390 class elk. I was able to get some great photos of the antlers as well and you will see Lloyd’s new Utah state record typical elk in the future 2007 King’s Bull Elk Calendar which will be available later this year.
Hunting Illustrated will also be the first place you will find the featured story on this great elk hunt. If you are not a subscriber yet, you better get signed up as Lloyd’s bull will be featured in our upcoming “Best of 2005″ Issue out at the end of March 2006.
One thing that amazed me with this bull is just how big it is. I was able to get a copy of the score sheet. Let me just throw a couple of numbers out to you so you can fully grasp just what I am talking about (I will go into greater detail in a special sidebar in this upcoming featured story in Hunting Illustrated). Lloyd decided to score and enter his bull as a typical. However, there is one abnormal kicker point on the right side that is 5 2/8-inches long that counted as a deduction to his typical score. Did you know that this bull would have also shattered the current state record non-typical as well! The current record is 412 0/8 net non-typical B&C. Lloyd’s bull also scores as a non-typical an amazing 419 0/8 net! Wow, that is something to think about. Either way you score it, it is a new state record. Congratulations Lloyd.
