Olympic Bull Down

[Watimberghost]

Looks like 3pts to me. Awesome bull, way to go!

Nice bull.

It looks to me like it might have a small fork above the ears on the right side when you blow up the pic.

The 3 point restriction is not clear to me so I probably would have let that bull go, even though it's probably legal.

Here's what it says in the pamphlet:  "A 3 pt. minimum elk means that a legal elk in these GMU's must have at least 3 antler points on one side, with at least 2 antler points above the ear. Eye guards are antler points when they are at least one inch long."

Nice work, great looking bull.

Not seeing the fork above the ears.

Way to go man. It's a great feeling knocking down your first.

[nw_bowhunter]

Not seeing the fork above the ears.

Looks to me that this is a legal 3pt and I can see at least 2 of the pts are above the ear. Not seeing an issue. Again good job taking to the hunter for a nice bull with archery equipment

In the rules there is an illustration for reference of what "above the ears" is. Unfortunately I don't see it on this bull. I really hope it has a 1 inch point we can't see.

Another example of rules interpretation.  I would have judged that bull as a 3-point had I encountered it in the field but after reading the rule now I'm not sure whether it is or not.  Shoot, that may or may not qualify as a spike.

In my mind if the rules can be reasonably interpreted to call that a 3-point, that's what it is.  Congrats on the harvest, MLBowhunting!
