For me a big bull is that 300-330 range, great bull 330-360, over 360 is a giant. But all bulls are good bull. I’m stoked to kill a 100” bull because regardless of horn size there’s still a ton of trophy meet to carry out. The same can’t be said for a 40” deer. Someone once said elk are for filling the freezer. Deer are for killing big ol bucks.

I've allways called anything bigger then a spike is a big bull.  I think its because I started hunting spikes on the east side or something idk.

We beat up the what makes a big buck thread! So let’s move on over to elk. I know a lot of people have there methods but it take a lot of time to master it. I usually run out of fingers and toes .  52 mains 30 inch mass and 20 inch G1-G5 per side puts you at the magical 400 mark.
