Big Elk, Shaky Story

Chip July 30, 2008 Elk

The story that accompanied this photo was that it was the largest bull ever taken, with any weapon, and was shot in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness of Idaho.  It circulated the internet in 2006 and not long after it was revealed that it was taken on private property, ie. “ranch raised”.  Regardless, it’s still a fine trophy and there’s no reason to believe the stats were not accurate:  green score of 575″ (expected net of 530″) and an outside spread of 79″.
