I'm more worried about getting in good enough shape to hunt that country the way you need than I am about how big of bull! Bigger than last time would be phenomenal but gotta be realistic with a bow. My goal is a bull that when I see him there is no doubt that is the bull I want to kill at that time, so I won't put a score out there but I hope we can get it on video so all those combinations will make it interesting. nwhunter

I'd sure like to hold out for 370+ not sure I can hold out if I have a good one in close though.

I don't really have a number. I just hope to be able to kill the biggest bull I find while scouting.

I will be more than happy with a nice mature 6 point. We will see if my goals change after some more scouting. I do not want to be greedy but from what everyone has been telling me, maybe I should be thinking bigger.

Depends on the unit, how much time you have to scout, how much time you have to hunt, and the weapon/season.  Had a buddy the year of the fire (2006) with the Dayton tag.  He was holding out for 350.  He ate the tag.  (To be fair, the fire really had things messed up that year, especially during the archery season).
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I remember the fire year.... the elk were a little scarce. We ran into a guy with a bull tag who was holding out and not finding many bulls. we didn't see the usual number of bulls but 1/2 hour after we talked to him we were staring at a 380" plus. If I had a tag I'd shoot the first bull that made me  :yike:

A friend pulled a watershed tag.  I'll be waiting for an excited radio call to go help get a dandy out.  I hope he holds out for a good one, but who knows- any elk is a good one.

Trying to set in my mind the difference between a 350 bull and a 370 bull.  One is like HOLY *censored* and the other is like HOLY HOLY *censored*! :)
