Moorhead Cop’s September Elk Likely to Set a MN Record – You Gotta See This Rack!

Brad Penas, 45, from Moorhead, Minnesota is going to have a hard time trying to figure out where to place his full head mount of an 820- pound animal that could end up being the highest-scoring elk ever bagged by a Minnesota hunter.

Police Department  Detective Brad Penas of Moorhead shot the 6x7 bull Sept. 14 in Kittson County. Now this is all but official, according to a local taxidermist, measured the rack at 391 inches in September, but the rules require a 60-day drying period before a certified measurer finalizes the official score.

The Boone and Crockett Club, was founded by none other than Theodore Roosevelt, (yes, that Teddy) and others to promote conservation and preserve hunting, has official charts for scoring game.

When asked where Penas would hang his huge trophy, he said,

We have been moving the antlers around inside the house and only found one spot that it could possibly fit, but we will have to wait and see after the mount is completed.
