I love good symmetry on a bull. For Rockies, I'm hoping to one day shoot a nice typical 7x7. For Roosevelts, my perfect bull elk has black horns and ivory tips and it would be great if he was a 5x5 or 6x6. I am probably hunting in the wrong areas. I have seen two in my days- one where it was two dark to count three points (and his dark horns didn't help) and so I shot a smaller, light colored antlered bull in the same herd. Then the dark one hung around to rub it in that he was legal and my dream bull. And another bull that should have been on my wall but my muzzleloader failed to go off not once, but twice. I shot a Rocky Mountain this year that would have been darn near perfection, but his main beam was snapped off after his fourth on one side. |

Im non-discriminatory :chuckle: whichever one is in my line of site is good enough! Something about a heavy long tined 6 though that makes the heart beat. |

My answer depends on unit and season. Catch me in central wa in September with a general tag and that spike sure looks amazing. In an any bull unit, I like a clean 6 with nice long fronts, good whale tales and ivory tips |

I’m getting old and fat. I should have put one that’s in the freezer, not six miles still in. :chuckle: |
