This includes two bulls that scored over 400 B/C. In the 2000 hunting season, there were three bulls taken that scored in the 380 range. In 2002 during muzzleloader season, a world record bull elk was harvested in area 231. According to a rumor,it is "The World Record" bull elk. Officials are waiting to make that decision. There have also been many world class mule deer taken throughout the years, including many Nevada record book mule deer.
