BULL: The third-largest bull elk ever measured in Pennsylvania has returned home.

Known as “Historic Pennsylvania Poaching Bull” — or for purposes of this column, just “Bull,” like the character in “Night Court” — was “killed unlawfully in a 2014 poaching spree near Karthaus,” according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

The game commission recently announced the homecoming of “Bull,” whose mount has been part of a traveling display that toured 20 states.

“Bull” was welcomed back to Clearfield with a ceremony in which the mount was presented to Clearfield County District Attorney William Shaw Jr. by the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

Shaw prosecuted the poachers who killed “Bull.”

“Because of the historic significance of the elk, Shaw made arrangements for the trophy to be on permanent display at the Clearfield County Historical Society, where it is available for public viewing,” the game commission stated.

The mount’s official Boone & Crocket measurements are 432 ⅞ inches.

We didn’t know what Boone & Crocket measurements were, but we weren’t going to let the day end without learning more about something as rugged and wild that it had to be named after not one but two American frontiersman.

The Boone and Crockett Club is a wildlife conservation organization that was founded 130 years ago in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt. It’s the oldest such organization in the United States.

In fact, the club’s website has intricate instructions — or score charts — for measuring not only “typical American,” “non-typical American” and Roosevelt’s and Tule elk, but also bear, cougar & jaguar, walrus, typical and non-typical mule deer & blacktail, sheep, typical and non-typical whitetail and coues’ deer, moose, caribou, pronghorn, bison, Rocky Mountain goat and musk ox.

So, in case you need to figure out how well you did hunting walrus this weekend, that’s where to look. You’re welcome.
