1" antler point

Where does it say anything about an ear?

Under 3 point minimum bull

Thanks RC3! Does anyone else find it funny that with deer the point has to be an inch and includes eye guards but elk eye guards don't count? Wouldn't want to simplify it now would they

They have it this way to keep people from shooting spike bulls and thinking they had more eye guards. Deer racks and elk racks are completely different in how they grow from a young animal into an adult and it does make sense.

[highside74]

Do people read the regs at all?

The whole thing is the point not just the tip and it all needs to be above the ear

Not doubting that at all but I wish it said that...

elk eye guards do count...they are a point.  in a 3 point minimum area 2 of the 3 points have to be above the ear/s.  refer back to the regs on what a 3 pt minimum is

I don't buy that explanation highside, if an antler point by definition is at least one inch and includes eyeguards then any 1 inch point on an elk or deer should count...period!

Anyone have pics of 3 point Bulls that don't meet the 3 point reg?

I read them just fine, they are just written poorly!

[highside74]

Not you Jim?  Lol

[JBar]

 Haha!

how are the written poorly when it says it doesn't matter how many eyeguards/points a bull has below its ears when it clearly states that for a 3 pt minimum at leats 2 points are above its ears ?  it could have 10 points on each side below its ears and if only one point extends past its ear it is not a legal bull in a 3 point minimum area. there are also clearly defined rules on what a spike bull is and what a "true"spike bull is

The fact that it stated points above the ears is poorly written if they actually want the branch above the ear 

[JBar]

You don't see how the antler point vs. the point restriction can be confusing? My point (no pun intended ) is simplify the rule!

You keep calling them points when you are referring to  tips. The point is the whole thing. The tip is the end of the point. It's not confusing at all.
