" 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

I am NOT one of those that are great at scoring a bull without laying hands on it but I'll throw 315 3/8ths out there.

I agree, I hope we get the story behind this bull afterward! Great lookin' animal regardless of the final score.

OH THE STORY I FORGOT MY BAD HERE GOES

It was a cold october morning on my families ranch while my brother dad and i sat in early twighlight waiting for light to come.  My brother and both pulling multi season elk tags this was our first trip out with a muzzle load usually stick with a bow.  It wasn't long before we heard a bull bugling nothin like the faint scream of a bull to get your heart racing.  When light came we spotted the heard of twenty head which included two 6X6's a couple rags and the rest cows.  The elk were moving threw a long valley about 3/4 of a mile from us, we paralled them until we caught up and were right in the mix of things.  I had harvested my first bull only a mile from there the year before so i told chase my brother he could shoot first.  As we belly crawled threw the sage brush the smaller six stepped into view Chase was wasting no time getting a rest.  I ranged him at 154 yards as the smoke cloud errupted from the barrel i heard the bullet hit.  When the smoke cleared the first six point was down.  As the heard crested the far hill about a mile out i looked at my brother and father and said "I'll see you tonight" :) i literaly ran to the last place i seen them and begain to track the running heard.  After about an hour i caught up to them.  To my relief they looked like they were about to bed down and they did in a horrible place for a stalk.  It was very open in all direction except for some small mounds of grass.  After two hours flat on my belly i crawled with on fifty yard of the heard.  But where is the big bull?  I couldnt go any further because i had a spike at thirty yards to my left.  Finally i seen him get up and pick out a new bed and just as he began to lay down i let the Black Diamond go to work.  The bull dropped in his track right around 11:45 two 6X6's in one morning!  It was a great day on the Hubbard Ranch  :chuckle: :IBCOOL:    A lil hint Chases was smaller and it scored 265  sorry no pic though

I'm gonna go right around 295.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.
