The Brooks bull, an enormous Rocky Mountain elk tagged in Washington state in December, is officially the new nontypical archery world-record, the Pope and Young Club announced Tuesday.
A joint panel of official scorers determined a final score of 478 ⅜ inches on Monday. As expected, this easily puts bowhunter Casey Brooks’ bull at the top of the Pope and Young record books. The previous archery world-record nontypical measured 449 4/8 inches, and was killed by Alberta farmer Shawn O’Shea in 2020. The Brooks bull was also in contention to unseat the Spider Bull, the reigning nontypical world-record in the Boone and Crockett record books, which accepts big game killed by any legal method. The Spider Bull measures 478 5/8 — just ⅜ inch more than the panel score for Brooks’ bull.
