He is old, but He looks good to me

[boneaddict]

I have one from three years ago I think.  Pre digital so I will have to find then scan.......man that might ahve been 4 years.   He is a trophy.  Just think. He is hunted from Sept to Dec.

[270Shooter]

Oh ya he is a smart old bull

Why put in for the BLues when the Cascades have bulls like that??? Looks to me like people should be putting in for those units instead. Lets post these pics in June to remind people of these big bulls and maybe sway the draw odds a little. nwhunter

Nope the Blues have all of those 400 inchers remember? . That is about as big as they come in the Yakima units.

i saw him today too, but he was to fare out to get a good clear pic of him... he is a bagger for sure!

[bucklucky]

His thirds need to get a little longer for me to shoot him

That's a great bull, have been watching him for a few years now too. I really like the crown he is developing on his left side.

[wilsongideon]

wow any estimates on how he scores?

[bow4elk]

He's short on his main beams but his front G1, 2's, and 3's are nice and long, average mass...my gut says 340 class.

[wilsongideon]

thanks I havent had much experience scoring elk . . .just learning how to field judge deer.

[bow4elk]

I just go with my gut reaction.  I've been within a 1/2 inch or off by 20 inches...it's hard to do consistently well, especially with photos.  Mike Eastman has a great method for mulies that he's perfected over many years.  When I try to add up lengths and mass guesses, I'm usually way off.  I'm better at sizing up a "frame" and giving it about 10 seconds of thought.  I may be off on this bull, I'm just guessing.  It's easy to over judge elk.  A 300" bull is a very nice mature animal.  If you can get photos of a net ~300" bull it will help you ingrain that image for the field.

[270Shooter]

I was thinking 350-360. But i don't know anything

[boneaddict]

He is a 340 bull with some junk that will gross him that high.  his frame is 340.  He'd have died this year.  Not many met the criteria, but he would have.

Thats pretty much how I do it , gut feeling.

[wilsongideon]

yeah I definatly need more practice . .. .specially since I plan on pulling down one of those guys some day 

[buckbrush]

I wouldn't have taken this bull.  People need to stop looking at the rack... his tail is way to short..

[Dave Workman]

Great photos.
But there is one thing wrong.
That animal ought to be hanging in a meat locker somewhere.
