World Record Elk from SCI
Ever dreamed of taking an elk of record book proportions? These hunters made it happen.
Denny Austad grabbed headlines across the country after downing the new world record elk dubbed "Spider Bull." The huge animal officially scored 478-5/8 B&C non-typical points.
Few animals are as jaw-droppingly impressive as a full-grown elk. With a body weight approaching half a ton, antlers spanning six feet, and a multi-point wide rack, white-tipped and majestic, a rut-crazed and bugling wapiti is something to behold. Rare is the America big game hunter who doesn’t dream of tagging one of these elusive and awe-inspiring animals. To help stir those dreams, here’s a photo gallery of some of Safari Club International’s all-time record-book elk trophies. For more, check out the SCI website, (www.scirecordbook.org).
Alan Hamberlin traveled to Navajo County, Arizona in October 1998 to down this giant non-typical Rocky Mountain elk. With a score of 474 3/8, it ranks No. 2 with SCI. Everything about this enormous 8x8 elk is impressive—inside antler spread of 40 2/8s inches, and main beam lengths of 53 inches (left) and 59 5/8s inches (right).

Once you hunt elk with a bow its hard to give it up! Nothing like a close bugle on a misty morning -certainly gets the juices going!
Nice bulls guys!
nice bulls congrats to the guys who shot them
I have always though it would be such a thrill to harvest an elk with my bow! Something about being that close to such a beautiful animal, and to hear it bugle on a crisp fall morning, with the sun rising over the mountains...... ahh so close to heaven! :)
Nice trophies... This is why I continue to bow hunt thses massive beautiful animals. Oh yeah the best part is when you can cut the back straps off and cookem right off the animal.
