Pretty sure he was found dead shortly after this was filmed.

It was 2 years ago when he died. I remember because on my way back from MT I turned off the free way to go see him but changed my mind. And he died the following week.

They say he likely was 14-16 years old and died of old age.

Brutus, A Wyoming Legend: Tribute Video

"The Big Boy" from the National Elk Refuge in Jackson Wyoming died on the winter feed grounds of natural causes. He typically showed up to the feed grounds mid to late January and would leave mid to late February depending on winter conditions. His whereabouts for the rest of the year were completely unknown. 2015 was the first year that I am aware of Brutus showing up to the refuge. 2016 is the year where he went viral. He also was in his prime this year where his sheds scored just shy of 440" with a 50" spread. I named him Brutus that year because he was nothing shy of a brute. 2017 he showed up like the years prior, mid-January but stayed late into February with the harsh winter. He regressed to a 410" class bull losing nearly 30" of antler. Brutus was not seen on the feed grounds through the months of January or February in 2018. However, he was eventually found dead in March towards the back of refuge. I would guess him to be 14-16 years old. He died around the 405" mark with an incredible 54" inside and 62" outside spread. A 400 class bull is 1 in every 10,000 elk, however, Brutus is a once in a lifetime bull. He peaked at 440” and died of old age still over that 400” mark which is very uncommon. I feel blessed to be able to follow and witness him. I hope everyone enjoys this clip, where I attempted to show how special this bull was, yet nothing will ever compare to seeing Brutus himself sway back and forth as he pushed through the snow. Rest Easy big fella, you won't be forgotten anytime soon!
