Anybody know if a rumor I heard about an big Montana elk being taken last week being a potential world record? I was told it was netted about 430.

The hunter has chosen to remain anonymous for the time being but there are pictures of the hunter with the elk.

Saw the photo. I also saw and have a picture of another elk taken in central MT a week plus ago that green scored almost 420. Unreal for the 2 of these to be taken in such a short time.

I didn't realise people don't know what the little smiley face means. It means "smiley face alert."

Lets drop the world record and say US record. Even the artical refers to an american Elk.A 430 would be a toad.

When someone says they saw an elk that had horns all the way back to his rump, remember this photo. World record, NOT to his butt.

Beautiful bull.

Just reporting on a rumor(?) I heard the other day. My son said two or three of his hunting buddies said the bull was shot about three miles from where I live. Which by the way is in central (actually south central) Montana. I don't know if I believe the people that started this rumor but they are next door landowners.
We do have a lot of elk and a good share of them are hunt-able due to State Land and Block management. If this rumor is true, the land this elk was shot on is owned by an individual that will let hunters walk in only.
If I hear any more on this story , I will post an update. I could call the originator of this rumor and ask him, but I don't want to act like I believe them.

Now, off to spread more rumors grin

Well, if you can't be the shooter, apparently the next best thing is to start a rumor that it's at least from your neck of the woods...
