" 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

Jackelope, yep near as I can tell that bull would qualify as a spike in a spike only unit.  I actually saw a bull getting checked on year down in the blues that was probably a 320-330 bull, it was being checked by the game warden.  It was a nice 6 point on the one side and the other side he had broken the main beam between the eyeguard and second tine.  So there was maybe 5" of main beam above the eyeguard on the broken tine.  The warden considered that bull a legal spike.  Now I'd be damn hesitant to shoot that bull, but the warden called it legal.
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.

actually the second set of horns is my imaginary elk.  The horn on the left qualifies as a spike in a spike only unit, and the horn on the right qualifies as a 3-point in a 3-point min. unit.  That sonofagun was dead no matter where he stepped...

jacks...picture is a 2x4 that qualifies in either unit.  The left one forks below the ear, and the rightside browtine is longer than an inch.  And "below the ear" means below the tip of the ear, with the ear straight UP, not out to the side... :chuckle:

I am pretty sure in the regs it says a fork on the upper half of the main beam... Not above the ear.

 My earlier quote was directly from the game regs.  "...above the ears."  And I just went back and checked my old regs, and it looks like the definition changed in 2006.  2005 regs say "upper half", but 2006 say "above the ear."
(I have 10 years worth of huntin and fishin regs...always interesting to go back and check how something used to be regulated or how much licenses cost years ago...)
