October 7, 201511 yr Saw this posted on KDFW Facebook page. A freaking monster. For reference the B&C record is 442 5/8.
October 7, 201511 yr Ah, all the forage and no predation (except for hunters and Me,2C,LRCW,Plantman) the next WR will likely come from the Commonwealth. Dude's on the hook for a nice taxidermy bill now. That's just awesome.
October 7, 201511 yr So...how in the heck do you get that thing to the truck? You quarter it, like a beef.

October 8, 201511 yr Author Not a hunter but I had no idea we had beasts that big in KY. WOW!!!Just freakish. Incredibly beautiful animal.
October 8, 201511 yr Don't forget the mountain lions. Just freakish. Incredibly beautiful animal. Please don't tease Doc about Mountain Lions. And based on the Mountain Lions I saw up close and personal at the zoo they don't want any part of that beast. And I am NOT anti-hunting and I do eat meat but it is a shame to see such a beautiful animal killed by human hand for what I assume is sport.
October 8, 201511 yr Author No doubt the driving force is sport. Most hunters, at least all the ones I know, either eat the meat, give it away to somebody who will, or donate it to hunters for the hungry or something like that. I don't think much goes to waste. On a related note, a client brought me some elk meat today and I can't wait to try my hand at fixing it. I love it.
October 8, 201511 yr I've watched hunting shows in the Cascade and Rocky Mnt. ranges where the hunters are going nuts over harvesting a 7x7 (rack). This bohemoth appears to be a 8x9. Looks like the reclaimed mining lands in EKY are providing a good fit for these elk to flourish. And I'd like to think there isn't a bit of elk meat wasted on this animal. KDFW polices the elk hunts pretty well from what I understand!

Elk is as good as it gets. I'd be shocked if any elk, anywhere, goes uneaten.

If you hit a deer with your car would make sure the meat didn't go to waste?
