The King of Elk Hunting: 480 4/8 Net! @caseybrooks65 
A lifelong dream has been fulfilled—my father, Casey Brooks, has done it! Pending official confirmation, he has shattered the world record for a Rocky Mountain elk taken with a bow, potentially dethroning both the Pope and Young record (449 4/8 net) and Spider Bull’s all-time Boone and Crockett record. This bull scored an unbelievable 480 4/8 net and 490 4/8 gross, officially green-scored by a Boone and Crockett scorer.
For as long as I can remember, my dad has been chasing giant bulls, coming incredibly close to this moment multiple times. He currently holds the #3 (436”) and #4 (430”) Pope and Young non-typical records, and has taken an astounding 12 bulls over 400 inches and 86 bull elk in total with a bow. But this bull—this absolute monarch—stands above them all.
Dad and his friends had been tracking this bull for years, finding sheds and keeping tabs on him. This year, with the coveted raffle tag in hand, Dad committed to the hunt. The season allowed him to pursue the bull from September 1 through December 31, and he hunted relentlessly, day in and day out, through the entire period. Finally, in December, the bull reappeared, and Dad began his final push.
He underestimated just how massive the bull was, thinking its sheer body size made the antlers appear smaller than they actually were. But when the moment of truth came, on the very last day of the hunt, Dad’s instincts and perseverance paid off.
What makes this achievement even more incredible is the adversity Dad faced along the way. In December, he survived a near-fatal car accident, colliding head-on with a snowplow. By some miracle, he walked away with a fractured wrist and a torn rotator cuff—injuries that would have sidelined most hunters. But not Casey Brooks. With adrenaline coursing through him and a determination that defied the odds, he made the perfect shot, sealing his place in elk hunting history.
And he did it his way—no guides, just a passionate crew of family and friends by his side, sharing the journey and the joy. Thank you all our friends and family who helped !! #elkhunting #worldrecord #elkcalling #elkhunting #huntriven
