Potential New World Record Bull Elk Shot in Washington

Casey Brooks just shattered elk hunting history with a potential world-record bull!

Casey Brooks has done the unthinkable—shattering world records and fulfilling a lifelong dream in epic fashion. With a staggering 480 4/8 net score, Casey’s Rocky Mountain elk taken with a bow could dethrone both the Pope and Young record and the legendary Spider Bull. This isn’t his first rodeo, either; Casey’s bagged 12 bulls over 400 inches and holds multiple top records. After years of tracking this monarch with his crew and surviving a near-fatal car accident in December, Casey delivered a perfect shot on the very last day of the hunt. No guides, just grit, passion and history made.
