This great bull has been flying around the Internet for quite sometime under the heading, New P&Y World's Record, Idaho, and Colorado. Here's the real story.
This bull was entered into B&C records on a Colorado elk tag with an entry score of 405-1/8 and has been rejected.
The Boone and Crockett Club's records department, with cooperation from a B&C Official Measurer from Colorado and Colorado Division of Wildlife determined that this bull was taken on a game preserve in Idaho in 2010.
The same hunter attempted to enter another bull scoring 402-7/8 reported to having come from the same ranch in Colorado in 2009. This bull has also been rejected.

I'd really like to know what kind of punishment this idiot received.

The Boone and Crockett Records Program, since its inception in 1906, does not accept or recognize trophies raised for the purpose of shooting on game farms, preserves, or within escape-proof enclosures.
No game laws were broken and no changes have been filed. It is not against the law to fraudulently attempt to enter trophies into the records book, just not smart.
He's still an idiot though!

Check Boone & Crockett Trophy Watch for stuff like this. They're usually pretty complete.
