We are talking big bulls and so I thought it was time for a cool video and video clip to highlight. Bulls Beyond Belief 2 has been years in the making. This long-awaited elk DVD is finally here.
Shane Koury of Koury’s Guide Service has put together a great combination of hunts. Witness the largest elk ever taken on video scoring 442 6/8 P&Y and is the current #2 non-typical archery elk in the world. Nine bulls that average 393 B&C!
Over 60 minutes..
This video has footage the current #2 non-typical archery bull elk in the world. Wow. Plus much more. Give the little video trailer a look. Click Here if you want to buy it and enjoy the whole DVD. You won’t be disappointed.

Many of you have been wanting to see photos of the pending 443 gross, 427 net P&Y state record archery bull from Utah that I posted on earlier. This bull was guided by Mossback and they have just posted photos of this bull on their web site. Some amazing photos and an incredible elk.
This bull is a 7×6 point. There is an extra browtine (third browtine) on the right side. Since this extra browtine is not matched on the other side, this point is considered a non-typical abnormal point. “If” there was a matching third browtine, then they would be considered part of the typical frame and it would be classified as a typical (but there isn’t). They still could choose to score this as a typical elk, but the extra browtine would be a deduction. If they are green scoring this bull as a non-typical at roughly 427 net, then a rough (I am guessing here) net typical score after deductions would put it around 407 net typical. I am basing this on the fact that third browtine is about 20-inches long.
I am mentioning this due to the fact that they might be considering what score would be the best. Naturally this would be a state record archery bull either way and probably a #3 in the world as a typical behind Chuck Adams’ bull at 409 2/8 and the new world record from Shawn Patterson that now scores 412 1/8 P&Y.
I will keep you posted on all of the scores as the 60-day drying period closes in.
UPDATE (11-19-07) - The official score is in on the Mossback guided Jimmy Ryan archery non-typical Utah elk. The score is 443 2/8 gross and 428 3/8 net non-typical P&Y.
That is big. This will shatter the state record archery bull, become the new overall state non-typical record for any weapon and is a pending #2 in the world non-typical archery bull for Pope & Young.
Here is a link to the Mossback website were you can see the photos to Jimmy Ryan’s great archery bull

The Pope & Young Club had their 25th Biennail Convention and Awards Banquet in Lancaster, Pennsylvania this past spring. During that awards banquet, there were two animals that were declared new world records.
Shawn Patterson’s Arizona elk that he arrowed in 2005 in Coconino County is now the new world record typical archery bull. Shawn’s bull officially scores 412 1/8 net P&Y typical. This bull exceeded the previous world’s record by almost three inches (409 2/8) taken by Chuck Adams in Rosebud, County, Montana in 2000. This is only the fifth 400 plus-inch typical American elk ever taken by a bowhunter. Shawn’s gigantic bull has 60-inch main beams and 56-inch inside spread.
Another world record is the Rocky Mountain Goat taekn by Shad Wheeler near Kalum Lake, British Columbia in 2006. Shad bested a world’s record that had stood for 18 years (42 4/8) by archer Lyle Willmarth in Park County, Colorado in 1988. Shad’s amazing Billy Goat is the new world record scoring 53 0/8 P&Y.
There was also another Mountain Goat that also topped the previous world record during this scoring period. This goat was taken by Allen Bolen in British Columbia as well and scores 52 6/8 P&Y.
