Records are Being Broken in 2006
September 27th, 2006 David King - King's Outdoor World
The 2006 hunting season is off to a temendous start. A lot of great animals have been going down so I thought I would do a quick rundown on some of the potential record animals so far this season:
Potential Utah state record archery typical elk: A monster bull was taken out in the west desert of Utah. The green score has come in at 405 gross and 388 net typical P&Y. The current state record is 390 4/8 net P&Y. Aparently this bull has a chance as it was scored pretty conservatively. You will see more of this bull after the 60 day drying period.
Potential Utah state record typical elk: There have been two awesome bulls that could challenge the state record typical score of 408 4/8 net B&C. A bull off the Boulder unit has been rough scored at 422 gross. It could challenge the record, but it may depend on how the inside spread is determined on the official score after the 60 day drying period. Another bull has been taken off the Pahvant unit with a green score of 414 gross and 408 net typical B&C. Big bulls are going down in Utah!
New Utah state record Bighorn Sheep: As reported earlier, there was a great ram taken that has been scored at around 192 B&C. This will coast into the record books as the biggest bighorn sheep from Utah.
Possible world record muzzleloader mule deer: A magnificent mule deer has been taken in Nevada with a muzzleloader. As reported earlier, this buck is a 25×27 point toad that has been green scored over 300 inches. Yes, you read correctly. The buck still has most of the velvet still intact and is a cactus buck. Not sure yet just how this will pan out in the record books. Who cares, this buck is huge. Better make sure your Hunting Illustrated Magazine subscription is still current for this buck.
Potential record archery velvet mule deer: There is a photo circulating of a huge velvet non-typical mule deer. The caption reads that it is possibly from Colorado and is 41-inches wide and has 11 points on each side. The buck looks to have a 200 plus typical frame with an easy 50 inches of abnormal points. Last year (2005) was extraordinary with four monster velvet mule deer taken. We will keep a look out for more information on this one.
Top 5 pronghorn antelope: There has recently been a great pronghorn taken in Arizona that has been green scored at over 93 B&C. This will put it in the top 5 in the world.
Potentail New Mexico state record archery typical elk: Resident archer Bill Clark arrowed a long-tined 6×6 bull elk in central New Mexico with his longbow. The bull has been measured at 411 1/8 SCI and is awaiting the 60 day drying period for the official Pope & Young score.
Biggest 5×5 point elk taken by a hunter: There was a huge five point elk taken this year in Nevada. The elk is a clean 5×5 point and gross scores over 370 B&C.
Stay Tuned…

Do you have Black Bear Statistics ? A friend of mine recently shot one that was at least 500 lbs. in Minnesota.

Congrats to the successful hunters I sure didn’t have that kind of luck in Oregon,but who does.

Has anyone heard about the 575 non-typical bull killed in Montana or Idaho (Selway Bitteroot Wilderness Area)? I got a picture of it and it is a tremendous bull.

I have heard about the elk but not seen a pic where could I see a pic of it at
5. Misty | October 3rd, 2006 at 11:56 am
The Boone and Crockett site say the 575 elk was most likely taken from a high-fence ranch in Canada.

That sucks.. if that is true, I would still like to see some pics. If you know of anyway to see some let me know please…
7. Sean | October 3rd, 2006 at 2:28 pm

8. David | October 3rd, 2006 at 2:40 pm

Thanks for emailing me that pic. That thing is a monster!!

I have three pictures of that bull, two of it alive standing by a water dish in an open field with a fence in the background and the other of it dead. From the research i did it was killed in Canada on a High Fenced hunt.

Where did you get your info about the elk. My buddy is telling me it was taken in the Bitterroot Mountains in Montana.. But who knows.. If you don’t mind would you send me those pics you got of it alive.. daividr_86@yahoo.com thanks..

The pictures are on the other thread on this page “The biggest elk-575 Archery Bull”. I did not take those pics, they were e-mailed to me. I think they pretty much prove that this was not a free roaming Bitterroot Mountains Bull.

I’ve been told that the 575 bull was killed on a high fence ranch in Canada. He said he got it in the Selway Bitterroot in Idaho. I think if they catch him in a lie they should take the elk and his licence. If he’s not more power to him. How do you all feel about it? Not too many wild elk stand buy a fence and eat out of a pan!!
14. shaun m | October 8th, 2006 at 12:56 pm
could any one give me some pics of the non-typical elk?
15. Brenda & Fred | October 10th, 2006 at 4:20 pm
We would like to see the pictures of the bull alive and showing the fence behind it. We already have the picture of him dead. Is it true it is a ranch grown? That sucks that not even “true” hunting just huys with too much money and free time on their hands.
