- Shot with a 300 Winchester Magnum at approximately 80 yards.
- Taken from the Laurentian Wildlife Estate in the Quebec Province of Canada on Sep 6, 2006.
- The estate has been approved by Safari Club International as a qualified hunt and eligible for a world record. SCI is the accredited organization that qualifies world records.
- The elk has been measured by two non-certified guides at around 560 by the Boone and Crockett Club standards. The current world record is 503. It is a non-typical estate antler. For the estate to qualify, it has to be a minimum size. In this case the area was 370 acres. Also, it must be forested with trees and not an open field. The Laurentian Estate is heavily forested. The elk was not easy to find and had not been seen for two weeks by any of the guides previous to our hunt.
- It takes a 60-day drying out period before a certified master measurer can make an official measurement. We plan to submit to SCI for world record.
