POTENTIAL NEW WORLD RECORD ELK?

[Buffalobwana]

What a spectacular bull! Good for this guy.

I saw too many @zzhats on social media accusing him of feeding this bull or shooting him under fence.

Haters gonna hate.

Congratulations to Mr Brooks on a tremendous Bull, and massive commitment to earning a stellar record hunting elk over many years. I love hunting, but man, he is in a whole other league. To spend 160 days hunting 1 animal is real dedication.

Crazy big. That's dedication.

Congrats to Casey Brooks on taking a world class bull., a record that is unlikely to be broken at any time in our lifetimes. However, it seems like a shame to have taken this great bull out of the gene pool.

The Thread about it on Rokslide is a good read…especially Pages 4 and 5

Incredible story if accurate. It says he followed activity of the bull for several years finally getting his chance (shot) this year. I would love to learn from this old (young) man's stories and incredible patience!!

Having the resources doesn't mean you have the skill, experience, dedication, desire, ability, absolute focus beyond normal IMO to stay after and kill this giant of a bull. I salute anyone that can stay the course on a specific animal for this length of time. Which is why so many "hate" his accomplishment and cannot fathom this at all. JMO.

Well said.

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

Got the inside track!

 

[Mike Matteson]

Four months to take one animal that you've been watching for years doesn't seem like that much of a feat to me.

That part of hunting! Knowing where to hunt and what to hunt.

$$$. This was a special auction tag.

He appears to have the funds. so why not?

No hating here. Jealousy- You bet. I am lucky to hunt weekends in my job. Casey is clearly smarter than myself. I hope when I retire I can spend that kind of time to pursue elk. I am very happy for him.
