Just thought I would share this. I received an email from my father in-law today who lives in Salt Lake City. An article was run in their local paper about a new #1 B&C non typical elk shot down there this season.

Like any animal that breaks a record, there is probably all sorts of controversy about this animal. But, I checked the Boone and Crockett club website and as of January 2/09, it is confirmed as the new #1 non typical. So, it was accepted as a fair chase hunt.
The article stated it was a special permit elk hunt that was auctioned off for $150,000. The guy was guided by Mossback outfitters who is well known for their quality elk. I didn't check out the outfitters website, but apparently there is a video clip of the hunt on there. I'm sure it will also come out on one of their next video's.
