New State Record Washington Bull Elk

There has been some talk of a huge bull recently taken in the northwest. Some confusion is did it come from Oregon or Washington? This is not a 466 bull from Oregon. This huge bull elk was shot with a rifle in Washington and green scores 449 gross and 436 net non-typical. This elk was taken by Dan Agnew. I emailed Dan to confirm as it seems rumors are already abound about this new potential state record Washington non-typical elk.

The elk was taken on September 3, 2008 in eastern Washington and is a 9 x 10 that green scores 449 gross and 436 net non-typical.

How does this rank in the books?

The current state record is the Jeff Thorpe bull from 2003 (http://www.kingsoutdoorworld.com/197/2005-bull-elk-january/). Jeff took this elk with his bow and so is the overall state record in addition to archery state record. Jeff’s bull scores 421 7/8 B&C.

The Dan Agnew bull with a green score (if this holds up) of 436 net B&C will not only shatter the state record but be the biggest bull elk from the northwest and also a potential top ten non-typical bull in the world.
Dan Agnew is no stranger to monster record book bulls. He currently has the #7 all-time non-typical bull (http://www.kingsoutdoorworld.com/279/2003-bull-elk-november/) and the #21 all-time typical bull (http://www.kingsoutdoorworld.com/199/2005-bull-elk-march/) - both coming from the San Carlos Apache Reservation.

I will post some more as I get more information about this awesome elk.
Man, the dark-horse bull elk from 2008 just might be from Washington. Who would have thought!

It was in Washington because it escaped from Alaska, running from Sarah Palin

No where in that artical does it say where he shot which is a shame as elk season is coming up out here in November and i'm trying to figure out where to go to let my DPMS AR-10 show it's bite on big game.... oh well i hear elk are Prominent up by Mount Saint Helens... Guess i'll have to try there ....

All it says is 'eastern Washington' which doesn't narrow it down much.

But since you mention it, I got to shoot 5 rounds through a DPMS in .308 today. Zowie. That's some big bang!
