When a New Year's Day social media post showed Casey Brooks with the pending world-record elk he killed in Washington, outdoor social media went wild.
For months Brooks remained quiet and did no public media interviews. Meanwhile a local landowner claimed that Brooks had poached the bull. An investigation was opened and promptly closed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. No violations were found. Last week Brooks had his bull scored by several official P&Y scorers who measured the antlers at 482 4/8 inches net with a gross score of 491 6/8. If that net measurement holds up during two separate panel scoring sessions (one each for B&C and P&Y), Brooks’ bull will become the official Rocky Mountain non-typical world record elk. And today, finally, Brooks is ready to tell his side of the story.
