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

Just to further my elk education....for those that would pass what is lacking? Mass? Character?

Depends on unit. Yes would pass if in certain units.  Yes on first day.

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