This is super cool
Congratulations to Casey Brooks on this beautiful bull!!
We are proud to announce a new Pope and Young (P&Y) World Record Non-Typical American Elk. A special panel was convened by both the Pope and Young Club and Boone and Crockett Club consisting of experienced measurers from each organizations in Lacey, Washington, on October 13th to verify the scoring of this exceptional animal—and it has officially been confirmed as the new Pope and Young World Record. This was the first ever joint special panel with both Pope &Young Club and Boone & Crockett Club convened for a potential World Record for both organizations.
On December 31, 2024, Casey Brooks shot this record-breaking bull in Kittitas County, Washington. The bull has an official score of 478 2/8”, surpassing the previous Pope and Young World Record by an astounding 28 6/8”. This incredible bull is less than half an inch from the Boone & Crockett World Record, which would be the largest bull ever taken or found in North America, and Casey killed his bull with archery equipment, which an outstanding accomplishment.
Casey pursued this bull for two years before finally gettng him within bow range. Undeterred, he dedicated himself to the chase, ultimately releasing a well-placed arrow on the final day of 2024—culminating a remarkable two-year pursuit.
