He has a sticker tine coming off the 4th on each side....  About 3 inches each at this time looked like to me through the spotting scope....

It's pretty typical for those bulls down there to have a cheater coming out at the base of the 4th tine on at least one side.  Definitely a local genetic trait for those elk.  Glad to see you got into some elk!

Pretty common configuration down here.

Family camping trip.  Back to the shed this weekend...  (Or just outside the shed ) Checking it out from some new angles this time...  Hope to see some bulls....  My wife is starting to think that drawing this tag was a life changing event....    :chuckle: :chuckle:

My biggest fear is when I die, my wife will sell all my guns for what I said they cost me!     ;)
