Giant elk in Steve’s backyard

Crum’s ranch is in Socorro County, New Mexico, about 2 hours south of Albuquerque. Known as the Cat Mountain Ranch, it sits inside New Mexico’s highly-sought Game Management Unit 17.

It’s important to note the 436 1/8-inch score that Crum reports is an approximated, unofficial green score that will not be taken into consideration by Pope & Young. Before the bull’s rack can go before that venerable record-keeping organization’s scrupulous panels, it’ll first be subjected to a mandatory 60-day drying period.

If the score holds up, though, it has a good chance of making the state record, even with some substantial shrinkage. According to Pope & Young Record Chairman Tim Rozewski, the current number one Pope & Young bull elk in New Mexico scored 420 7/8 inches.

Asking price has been reduced several times from $ 12,000,000. Sellers want to sell! This is a reputation cattle ranch which is privately managed in western New Mexico’s Socorro County.

Apparently, the ranch is or was for sale and a bargain at 12,000,000!

Good pix of Steve’s bailiwick.
