I got my maps and it looks like I chose the right ones!

did you look at Mytopo.com? I bought maps from there when I had my Dayton tag 2 years ago. They were very good maps.

Nice bulls but not even close to 350.  He has alot of potential though.  Those blue bulls are like no other elk in the nation.  I usually can always tell when i see a video of a giant or a picture.  Always heavier than normal with lots of trash.

You'd have to be silly to pass on the second one id guess he's over 350. That first bull should get an arrow too imo

BTW, which brother are you? Ha!

Did the winkface mean you were joking in your first post? U don't think that bull would go over 350 gross?

To be honest I don't have enough experience to tell you one way or another.

But I would shoot him without regret.

That first bull would walk day 1.

That first bull and third bull look to be the same one don't they?

No.

Every time I count, I get real close to 350 on the second bull. The third bull's thirds are great. If his top half is similar when done, he will be amazing.

I'm pretty sure the second bull is around 360...comparing it to a few antlers I've found in the past.... :chuckle:

Maybe we can ground count him in a few months to be sure :)

Bull #2 is 350 all day.  Beauty. He's a shooter.  Most folks, me included, can't tell the difference between a 340 and a 360 bull. Especially when you're at full draw and they bugle and blow the hat off your head.

I don't know for sure butI put that second in the 340's, pushing 350" but I just don't think he'd break the mark.

that's what I thought but then saw the date and if that's the true date he should be around the 350 mark when he is done growing

I like all 3. The clean 6, the trashy giant, and the trez loco. I'd take either with a bow.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

I will say this, the difference between a 340" and a 360" bull is only a little more than 1 1/2" on every point. That isn't very much when you have a rut crazed beast blowing snot and screaming in your face at 20 yards!
