Mulie,
Befor you get all lathered up,it wasn't a Idaho bull.It was a game farm kill in Canada.Go to the Boone and Crokett web page ,they have it listed as a SCI Estate New reacord kill.Wich means someone paid a bunch of money to shoot thispen raised animal in a fenced enclosure.

This photo is circulating the internet at World's Record pace. The text accompanying the photo states that it was taken in the Selway Wilderness in Idaho with a bow and scores somewhere between 530-575.
B&C is reserving judgment on this bull. If this bull were, in fact, taken as a natural, free-ranging, wild, native elk from the Selway region of Idaho, it would be approximately 130-150 inches bigger than any elk ever recorded from that region.

UPDATE: This bull was raised in a high-fenced environment in Quebec, and therefore ineligible to be entered into B&C's records program.


This is what B&C says.

I wonder if SCI would just stop listing these genetic freaks, then maybe all this high fenced hunting would dissapear. The only motivation these guys have is to try to impress someone else. (You and Me)
Myself I just want to puke.

B&C was founded by hunters for hunters,so they refuse to recognize animals taken this way.On the other hand SCI is encouraging this to happen by allowing the trophies to be entered.

Sick. Sick Sick. Just as well go out and shoot the milk cow.[:@] Its fine by me if one wants to pay to shoot an animal in a pen but entering it as any kind of hunting trophy is a laugh.

O good god Im in love thats awesome its so nice and big!

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

If you like those tame elk that much,this outfit has many of them for sale.Just fly on down and shoot one.Just make sure that the fences or feed pails aren't in the pictures if you want to convince people that it was a real hunt.:D:D:D

Ya, you know.. I knew that bull was to good to be true. I have hunted the Selway for 10 plus years.. And I have never even dreamed of seeing a bull like that. What is our hunting world turning into? I am so disapointed in some of these(or you) High Fence hunters. The only reason I could see somebody hunting a high fence would be if you are a child, or due to age or someother kind of physical limitation forces you to Shoot a penned up animal. Hunting is not supposed to be easy! Get out there and walk Lazy America!

It is interesting that the "big elk photo" shows neither fence nor pail. Could they be feeling a weebit sheepish about it all. Who, besides themselves are they trying to kid...................?

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

I hate these herd bulls! And I mean that in a literal sense. There was another big "new state/world record" bull floating around the net last year. Turns out it was another fenced animal on that special "protien & mineral diet", which happened to be killed on a ranch in Idaho. But, I guess if you have the money and want to shoot a elk one step above a moo cow, more power to you.

I once saw a 3020 lb Holstien Bull at a county fair. Talk about a trophy BULL.;)

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

I wonder if super hunter fed it an apple and rubbed it's nose before he shot it! What a joke!!

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

I wish it was that simple. It seeems to me that pen shot trophy animals reflects badly on hunters and hunting in general, to the non-hunting crowd. It plays right into the anti-hunters hands by supporting their arguments that trophy hunting is all about ego.
The next thing that will happen is the fenced hunting crowd will argue that we (all hunters) better stick together to defend "our" sport. Myself, I would be an antihunter too if the fair chase concept is replaced by canned hunting.

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

I will NEVER support high fence hunting!!!!!! NEVER.... NEVER...... & oh yeah NEVER!
Why.....Its NOT hunting.

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

Maybe if I win the Lottery I'll go shoot (not hunt) one of them big ol' genetic freak bulls. Hang it on my wall in my mansion. Make up some elaborate story of how I had to hunt hard for 3 weeks, in the snow and rain, climbing uphill the whole time for the pack in and out, passing on several smaller bulls, waiting for hours for this bull to offer me the shot I wanted, judging my wind to perfection, drawing back with complete calm, "aim small, miss small", getting a clean passthru of both lungs, and finally fighting off a pack of wolves with a pocket knife to claim my trophy!

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

me too:D I don't like those high fence elk at all

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

Everybody back off SCI! I'm serious you idiots don't know what you are talking about. SCI is the only organization that is fighting for your rights as a hunter. Several times a year HSUS, PETA, or someother anti hunting organization files Lawsuits to ban hunting in one form or another. Do you know who's paying the lawyers that beat them? Thats right SCI! Not RMEF, Not Ducks Unlimited, Not Quail forever, Not Wild Turkey Federation..... No SCI is paramount to The NRA. NRA fights everyday to keep or rights to bear arms, and SCI fights everyday to keep our rights to hunt.

Sure they support some things that I don't agree with but You cannot argue with their achievements. I do not support game ranches. I would never hunt behind a game fence. But if you love to hunt their are two organizations that you have to be a member of....NRA & SCI. Do you know where the majority of the funds raised for the other organizations go? Adminstrative fees. SCI's Administration is all Volunteer, that means your dollars go to fighting for causes instead of paying salaries. Go today and pay the $55 and become a member of SCI. Even if you never intend to hunt Africa or behind a fence Its the best Organization we've got.

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

Awesome Bull! So sorry it wasn't killed in the wild!:)

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

Sorry Shato, But if SCI really loved hubting they would drop any canned hunt listings. Why do we need that garbage?

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

That still doesn't change the fact that the lawyers that are fighting every lawsuit that the Humane Society of the US or Peta or any other idiot organization throws out are SCI Lawyers. Who else is standing up for our rights? Name one and I will pay my dues. You may not agree with "canned Hunts" and neither do I but someone has to fight for hunting. If you don't believe that then go stick your head in the sand and lube up cuz your about to get screwed

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

You know I have to laugh,not cause of this SCI stuffbut all you guys who pay the RMEF.Do you guys know that all your money gose to preseve elk habitat not elk hunting.The buy HUGE tracts of land shut it down and close hunters and sportmans out.They want elk habitat like it used to be.It's the bigest farce I've seen,I support the NRA,maybe we all should take a look at the SCI.
I bet if we get 1000-2000 hunters paying 55 dollars a pice,maybe we can put some presure on these canned hunts,OR you can go to the state level and petion to outlaw them,we did in Montana.

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

By all means look into SCI. I wouldn't get my hopes up about pressuring Canned hunts though. Money talks, BS walks. High fence is big money. Put two and two together. Anyway, I support them because SCI is fighting the anti's for me.

RE: Where did that Huge Idaho Elk go???
 

I don't even want to get into the details of how I feel about fenced hunts. It isn't even hunting. What a disgrace to our wonderful hunting heritage and history.
