JUST ANOTHER "BULL STORY" !
I copied and pasted this from another forum.
This is a picture of a #1 world record elk taken with a bow near Alpine Texas on a free range (not high fenced) ranch. It had a green score of
455 7/8 B&C. Texas Trophy hunters wants to have it mounted and take it on tour for 6 months.
Not recognized by B&C.
Texas does not have a season for free ranging elk and therefore B&C wont all this bull into their book.

Here is what B&C has to say:
Texas 2005 Texas Bull
December 11, 2005
This bull has been getting a lot of play over the Internet, and rightfully so. Here’s what we know:
The bull is believed to have been taken by a bowhunter in Texas. It has yet to be entered into B&C or Pope & Young, so no entry or due diligence has been initiated.What is unclear is whether or not this bull will meet eligibility requirements for entry into B&C should it be entered. Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept. does not consider elk a game animal and as such do not have a management plan in place for elk (hunters do have to have a state hunting license, but there is no elk license or tag.) There is also no currently recognized hunting season for elk in Texas, and can therefore be taken year-round. Elk are not native to Texas (other than the Guadalupe Mountains). They are currently considered an Exotic.
BC can say it not the World Record But if its a free-roaming Elk it will, still be the standard that is set for the World to Beat THAT IS ONE HELLA OF A BULL.
