I saw one in Jackson Hole the last time I was there that was absolutly huge, I know he would have hit the 400 + catagory, I didn't get to count them all, but it was either 7 or 8 X
I wish I could have got the camera out before he wandered off...

I borrowed a three antlered elk for an RMEF banquet a few years ago. It has a standard 6 on one side and a five on the other and a single point that is 47 inches long growing from it's own pedicle in between the other two. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. Since then, I've seen several bulls with similar antler arrangements. Glen almost shot one a few years ago. On the Walupai reservation in northern Arizona, they have a specail cull hunt each year to remove these types of bulls. It seems the gene that throws this strange antler growth is common up there.

This is from the video camera so it's kind of grainy. This is a cute little fella. You can see lots of "on the hoof" video of him on Awesome Bulls 4. 23 scoreable points, 11x12..

I have seen 7x8 that looked like the side with the 8 was more like a palm. Seen plenty of other 7x8 and a 6x9 that was really awesome. Suppose if I sat at the refuge with binos more, I could see quite a few.

I've seen 8x8s on a game ranch but 6x6 is the best in the wild

My old man killed a 7x8 about 17 years ago. Thats the best one i've seen in the wild. I've seen quite a few 6x7's but nothing bigger.

It's fairly common on tule elk to have lots of points and some palmation, almost like a caribou in some cases. (Except for the shovels.)

9x9 Non-Typical. Have seen 2 of them on the same mountain range, 3 years apart. Definitely not the same one. Have seen a few 6x7's and 6x8's. Heard of a guy that took a 9x11.....but never saw it for myself.

The best I've seen that I can remember was a 7X8. Lots of 7X6's 7X7's. Now just killing one is the problem.

I have posted these pictures before in the past but here they are again. This is a bull that was taken here in PA during the 2003 elk season. It isa very massive non typical.
There are several that I have seen still running around that are bigger than this. I have tried to get a tag every year since they brought our elk season back a few years ago. No luck yet. MAybe this year? hump It is a very liimted hunt.........but as you can see the rewards are GREAT!
