New to elk hunting. Got three bulls on my trail cameras this week but none of them have branched antlers yet. Are these bulls going to be spikes in September or will their antlers develop tines between now and then? Pictures are from the last week.
Unit is 3pt minimum.

Spikes or two points (maybe).
Not branched bulls.
Send them my way.

I’d say bulls are mostly done growing by now. Maybe they’ll add a little bit more but not much. What you see is what you’re gonna get come hunting season.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
