POTENTIAL NEW WORLD RECORD ELK?

[BBkiller89]

Casey's son has said it shatters the world record. Free range elk. Washington Governor's tag so I'm sure he paid plenty. He has its sheds from last year so he's been after this bull for awhile. Casey is the ultimate big bull killer. I don't think anyone can touch his resume. Of the 86 bull elk he has killed, I think this is his 12th bull over 400. So that's No 1, 2, 3 and 6 place Pope and Young bulls all time. DIY too! Impressive!

Are you saying all of these are DIY?

How the !@#$ do people draw that many tags? Hell, I have been trying for 15 years to draw a tag

$$$. This was a special auction tag.

I don't know that for sure. This one was DIY is what his son has posted. Plenty of folks are trolling saying high fence, should have an asterisk due to hunting special season etc so the son posted a long summary on Facebook.

@lancetkenyon is right about the money. Probably hocked his house for that bull.

According to google the 2024 Washington Governors tag #1 Elk permit was auctioned for $510,000.00

I guess his $20 elk seminars must have had some amazing attendance!

If that hunter wasn't Casey Brooks, he kinda go screwed.

Haha guys that can afford that got money to blow

So 510K for the permit. Figure $500 a day hunting DIY for 160 days. That's another 80K. Plus millions gaining experience for years. I'd say that elk did pretty well eluding a professional hunter for 160 days. In 160 days, they should be on a first name basis.,

Haters gonna hate, I don't care who you are, 86 archery bulls is incredible no matter your net worth. It takes some serious dedication to accomplish that. 12 archery bulls over 400"? I don't think there is anybody else walking the planet with that resume.

Nice and Big, but doesn't strike me as even close to the World Record, hard to tell in pics though. I'll just wait to see the BC score sheet. Gonna take a lot to beat the Spider Bull.

Spider Bull is 476"? And taken with a rifle. This blows away the archery record and beats spider bull as well. The score sheet is out there for public to view.

From my understanding it was a raffle tag and not even the governor's tag. Regardless it was put to good use!

86 bulls is averaging 2.1+ archery bulls a year for 40 years!! With a bow! Dedication and hard work at the very least.

What strikes me as odd is that this bull is not broken at all…usually by December points are broken. Great bull, looks like a high fence harvest…not passing judgement, just calling it the way I see it

Majority of the state is special draw for bulls. So if you do draw, there's a lot of public area that doesn't get hunted much. I have a hunch the general area this bull was. And there's been some big ones historically in that unit. Not even sure if there's such thing as a high fence in Washington

which is probably why it was tracked for years leading up to this. Yes anybody can video and get sheds of this bull, but doesn't mean you'll ever get the chance to hunt it.

That's why I don't understand any pushback from the jealous people on this. This is truly a guy who loves what he does. Sure he's loaded…think he was born with that money in his pocket? You think he has the gram and social media when he was stacking bulls how many years ago? Haters gonna hate, the rest of us will laugh at those haters
