Idaho Record Book Elk Facts
« on: May 13, 2012, 01:09:27 AM »
I bought a book the other day called "Idaho's Greatest Elk" by Ryan Hatfield.  I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.  It's a collection of stories from each of the entries into Boone and Crockett that came from Idaho: 18 non-typical and 74 typical entries.  Most of the entries had years of harvest listed and many had a weapon used as part of the story.  Plenty of entries had little or no story that the author could track down.

Here are a couple of sets of info that I collected from that listing.

Decade of Harvest:
10's: 1
20's: 1
30's: 0
40's: 1
50's: 14
60's: 27
70's: 15
80's: 9
90's: 16
00's: 9

Caliber Used:
.30-06: 21
Bow:12
.270: 7
.308: 5
7mm: 5
.30-40 Krag: 3
.300 Win: 2
.338: 2
.32: 2
6mm: 2
.264 Win: 2
.300 Weath.: 1
.25-06: 1
.30-30: 1
Muzzleloader: 1
.300 Savage: 1
.284 Win: 1
.30 Rem: 1

I bought all three of his books that are currently out: Idaho's Greatest Elk; Idaho's Greatest Whitetail & Idaho's Greatest Mule Deer. They are well worth the money and great to read. I would recommend them to anyone.  :twocents:

These guys are crazy, you have to have a .338 Lapua or a .300 Rum to kill an elk.   :chuckle: :chuckle:
