shoot or pass?
« on: September 17, 2014, 05:32:40 PM »
If you had this bull tag, would you shoot or pass on this guy opening day if you had a bull tag? This is not the biggest bull in the area, but I would have a hard time staying off the trigger. I hope to get better pictures of him.

I think it's a shooter for most people in any unit in this state. There will be a few guys that would decide based on where they were and the potential for bigger bulls. Looks like a nice 350ish bull

" 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

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.
