The World Record Goats, Bison and Muskox

1 | World Record Muskox (Tie)

Hunter: Craig D. Scott

Location Killed: Norman Wells, NT

Date Killed: 2002

Score: 129 Inches

Taken in 2002, Craig Scott brought down the largest muskox the world had ever seen. Taken in Norman Wells, NT, the bull was a sight. It was the greatest of its species.

This animal had extraordinary horn length, with 29 5/8 inches on the right and 28 3/8 inches on the left. It has 11-inch widths on both sides and has a tip-to-tip spread of 27 1/8 inches. Impressive, to say the least.

2 | World Record Muskox (Tie)

Hunter: Jim Shockey

Location Killed: Coppermine River, NU

Date Killed: 2006

Four years later, Jim Shockey (you’ve likely heard of him) took a muskox in Coppermine River, NU, that tied Scott’s record at 129 inches. That number still hasn’t been beaten (only tied). And the famous Jim Shockey’s bull is still the closest one to come to doing so.

This world record (tie) sports 28 1/8-inch (right) and 28 6/8-inch (left) lengths. It also has 12 1/8-inch (right) and 11 3/8-inch (left) widths. It even boasts a whopping 30 4/8-inch tip-to-tip spread.

5 | World Record Pronghorn

Hunter: Mike Gallo

Location Killed: Socorro County, NM

Date Killed: 2013

Score: 96 4/8 Inches

Speed goats. These insanely fast critters are known for their speed. But the Gallo goat is known for its size. Taken in 2013, coming in at 96 4/8 inches, it’s the current world record pronghorn. A massive animal.

Simply put, this is a big goat. It has everything you could ever want in a trophy pronghorn and then some. It has everything from mass to length and everything in-between. Seriously, this is as big as they come (so far). Who knows when the next record-breaking goat will be taken.

Until then . . .
