Fourteen-year-old Hannah Helmer of Seward, Nebraska, harvested a truly massive bull elk that stands as the Nebraska non-typical state record, officially green-scored at 430 6/8 inches on the Boone & Crockett scale and ranking among the top 20 elk ever recorded. This bull wasn’t just a youth accomplishment, it surpassed the previous Nebraska state record and is one of the largest elk ever taken anywhere! Congratulations Hannah on an incredibly Nebraska elk!
