Hey BuckLucky     A good elk hunter can make a acurate call on the first look not the third.  Its not a trick photo at all its a straight up pic use the muzzle loader as a guide to length of main beem.   ;)

So what your saying is I need to 'Guess " the length of the Muzzle Loader to make a guestimation on the rack? I guess you have a buddy run up next to a bull in the woods holding the ML up next to the rack to get an estimate before you shoot?  :chuckle :Like I said enitially, 291 gross, that was my first thought, I could have erased it , but instead I backed up my overestimate up whith what  I said right after and gave an honest opinion on "trick" photos. I like to give the benefit of the doubt when looking at a bull someone has killed. 282 wasnt too far off for what I thought it would really end up going. Oh by the way, a good elk hunter would have passed on that little bull  :P Just kidding man, thats a nice bull.  ;)

hahahahaha  your right i would have passed on that one if i was in an area that held good elk.  That was the biggest bull on our ranch that year so i was happy to take him.    Lets see a pic of your biggest bull?

That bull meets my minimum criteria :chuckle:... and I put in for that tag.  I'll let you know if I get drawn, but I only have 7 points this year, so my chances aren't that great.  Don't forget that "short tined" bull will grow a new set this year, so he should be 380 plus, depending on nutrition, drought conditions etc... 
I hope someone gets him, since he will likely be dead of old age before I get drawn.. :bash:

Im guessing that bull is outside the elk fence.  He is standing next to a grain trailer so im pretty sure where thats at.  I think I might even recognize the trailer.
Yeah but at least it will eat good...
