Elk Exhibit

Elk Exhibit

Elk ExhibitWorld Class Elk ranked 3rd in the world. This trophy elk died in northeastern Kittson County in the Caribou area along the northwest corner of Roseau County. The elk was found by Ryan Muirhead of Roseau, MN and come friends while driving around on the last day of muzzleloader season.

The elk had tripped while trying to cross a fence and landed on its back causing it to get stuck in muddy ground under the snow.  The group freed the animal but the elk was very week and struggled to its feet.  Muirhead, figuring the elk would die, returned to the area to check on the animal. After a couple days, and hours of watching the elk would die.

The conservation officer was contacted in hopes to that Muirhead would be able to keep the antlers. After some checking to determine the cause of death and storylines, Ryan was able to retain the rack.

The first scoring put this record elk as fourth in the world for non-typical bull. It was rescored in 2014 were it was determined to actually be third in the world.

Come and check out this magnificent mount.
