Re: Monster Bull Elk
He told me it grossed 427 B&C....I guess we'll know in 57 days. He told me he bugled it in to 25 yards where he shot it with his .270.
As an added note he drew one of 15 permits for the hunt....those elk were put in the Yukon in 1958....this was the first year they have hunted them there.
Al Klassen is the hunter and this was his first elk...but he is no greenhorn. He has guided and hunted in the Yukon and Northwest Territories for the past 30+ years. He has personally guided and taken 125+ Dall rams in his sheep hunting career. He is truely one of the best of the best.

Re: Monster Bull Elk
Nice pics as usual PGS!
The mass is really impressive - well every aspect is.
Is it pretty old? The "waviness" in the G2 and G3's are what we see down here in older deer, is that true for elk also?
Sounds like it was very well deserved and hard earned.
Congratulations to the hunter and the game managers.

Re: Monster Bull Elk
The way Al descibed the condition of the teeth it sounds like it was an old bull....he said he sent a tooth to the biologist for an age estimation. From what I've seen here in the northern rockies a bull elk reaches full maturity at 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 years old.(Greatest antler growth potential)Of course genetics, how they come out of winter into spring, early summer rain, will also have an impact on antler developement. I still believe that age is the most important factor in producing top quality animals.

Yukon, Not Montana.
Incredible Bull!
How many points would it retain as a non typical?

Re: Monster Bull Elk
He told me it is a 10X9(9X8 excluding the main beams) It looks like a scorers nightmare to me.....It'll probably get panel scored by B&C.
FYI, I got an e-mail from Al today as I had asked him if non residents could apply for that permit in the Yukon...he said it was residents only.
