Yukon Elk
Here's one to get your attention.

This bull was killed in the Yukon on 9-25.
Elk were put in there in 1958 from Yellowstone Park.

This was the first year they have been hunted.
They drew for 15 permits. The hunter is Al Klassen.
He's been a sheep guide in the Yukon and Northwest Territories
and has personally guided over 100 Dall Ram kills.

Preliminary gross score... 451 5/8

Very impressive animal. Best meat I ever had was elk tenderloin killed in Montana and cooked over an open flame in the Central Pennsylvania mtns.

Massive,, I've seen racks with a bunch of tines,, but they are generally short and thin spikes off the main trunk tines. This truly is a massive rack..

What was the rack measured at??
