5575 Joined: 11/20/2003 Location: ND	Here's the story I got, guess we'll have to wait to see if its true. I take all these with a grain of salt with all the high fence stuff posted all the time. This was sent into B&C with the info below Subject: MN Elk Its green score is 456 4/8 NT net. Its gross score is 475 5/8. He has 78 6/8" of mass. He is a wild MN elk that flipped upside down jumping a barbed wire fence on state land in Northern MN. His antlers stuck in the ground and been there a couple of hours. Ryan Muirhead while muzzleloader hunting and found him, he got help to flip him back, and the elk walked away. It was 25 below wind chill at this time. Two days later he went to see if it made it, but found it 600 yards away still alive. It died shortly later and was given to the Game warden who a week later gave it back to him. Can't get the darn pics to post...

shanejohn Joined: 12/21/2010 Location: nd	this story is absolutely true, im not sure on the actual measured scores but as far as the elk jumping the fence and getting stuck upside down i was there and watched and video taped while the guys flipped him over. the people i was staying with that weekend saw that bull and 8 others about an hour earlier out in some pasture and then ryan and his party found the bull upside down in the ditch. it was the craziest thing ive ever seen and from what we had guessed that morning we figured the bull had to go at least 430 or more. i do have some pictures that i will try to upload but as im new to the site it might take me a bit .

Trapper62 Joined: 02/19/2003 Location: ND	Figured it was in that area, know where Caribou is as well. We have seen elk in both areas in past years. Can't imagine seeing first hand, bet the adrenaline was running a little higher than normal! Thanks
