masher or not yet?
« on: June 29, 2014, 05:40:22 PM »
I was going through my sd cards from last season, getting ready to erase them and put them in my cams, but wanted to share these pics first, is this considered a masher bull? I put the moose in for fun

It's amazing how much larger the moose is. The elk is a masher in many hunters eyes. Thanks for sharing.

I wouldn't hesitate, unless I was darn sure there were bigger in the area and very little pressure.  A good rule is don't pass on the first day what you would be willing to take on the last.  I have learned this the hard way over the years.

masher or not yet?

He's a young 6 point. If he's still around he might be a masher this year. In those pics he's a 300" bull. A big bull a lot of guys would be proud of, but not what many would consider a masher.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Definitely a nice bull but I wouldn't consider it a masher.

I wouldn't call him a masher, but he's a dandy 300" bull.

It's amazing how much larger the moose is.

A full hand taller, maybe even two hands.  And that bullwinkle isn't even that big.  Good point.

The bull in the first pic doesn't have a kicker by his right royal.  The bull with the big kicker is a different bull.

If you look close, I think he does, just pointed right at the camera.
