The Most Amazing 5×5 Point Elk
January 11th, 2006 David King - King's Outdoor World
Usually when talking about trophy bull elk, you are talking about the coveted 6×6 point bull, or even the monarch 7×7 and beyond. There are some great 5×5 point bull elk out there that would make many 6×6 point bulls envious. Here are two of my favorite 5×5 point bull elk. These incredible bulls are a freak of nature and top my list of “The Most Amazing 5×5 Point Elk”.
Stuart Stedman took this 5×5 typical frame bull scoring 385 7/8 gross and 367 2/8 net B&C. The incredible front brow tines measure 25 and 29-inches long! This photo was included in the White Mountain Monarch feature in the Special Winter Issue of Hunting Illustrated.
Slade Sanborn was shed hunting in 2004 when he came across what he was looking for. These amazing 5×5 elk sheds score 403 gross with a 46-inch inside spread. The right third tine is 33 6/8-inches long, which could quite possibly be the longest third point ever known. Slade’s sheds and story were featured in the April/May 2005 “Best of 2004″ Issue of Hunting Illustrated. The antlers are also featured in our new 2006 King’s Bull Elk Calendar.
