8 pt side of this brute was 199 7/8" , If the ither side had been as good he would have grossed close to 450".
Was taken in the 1960s in Alberta.

Do you know the story on it ?

Not implying anything but
Quite a few farmed elk there... some get out.
A guy I know used to be heavy in that business, had many bulls well over 400", usually 40-50 at any given time.
He told me he sold a 2 year old bull that scored over 300" for $110,000 one time :shock:

Wonder how he slept at night during the rut :lol: !?

Same guy bought the provincial tag last year and shot a 410" bull though so they are out there...

Stalker, the bull had an old metal clip tag from Alberta on the antlers and was on a very old plaque when this fellow bought it. Other than that I don't know anything about this one.
I have a set of farm sheds that go around 385 that were bought from a guy in Sask for $300, will do them up for dispay one day.

Nice mount Ken!

It certainly looks better as a mount than on a plaque. Nice Job Ken!...

Im from Alberta and there are some MASSIVE bulls there!! oddly enough especially down in the southern prairie portion of the province....... I hunted Mule deers down by the Montana border and seem freaks of nature elk down there! guess they come up from the states..............

Been seeing some nice bulls, over 350, come from S AB on the AO website. Nothing but flat open country, not a tree in sight! Pretty wild sight with a big bull elk laying on the prairie!
