ive seen a lot of pics of bull elk and ive decided that no matter where it is 300" is a nice bull once it gets bigger than that the wow factor just goes up a bit

Its a nice bull for sure. First pic is a little deceiving makes him look not as good as he does in the second pic. Good 3rds for the blues and his fourth and fifth look good so I would say 340+  but the velvet could make him look bigger than he is. Those are the hard ones to pass but thats up to you! nwhunter

My first enitial thought was 330, with the second picture I thought probably right at 340. Nice bull. Save him for the last few days  ;)

He is a shooter, if you are willing to take him the last day than you should not hestiate to take him opening morning.

 :yeah:

For a 350+ bull hes gonna need better thirds.  Normally a bull with substantial thirds is a monster.  because if the thirds are big everything else is big too.

I was thinking 335, and extra 5 inches on both thirds would get him real close to 350 in my opinion. :twocents:

I am wanting to hold out the first 5 days for a 350 or better bull.  After that maybe I shoot a 330 bull....  Thats why I am rying to practice scoring bulls.

Holding out for a 350 bull in WA is a tall order unless you have a special permit.  Good luck on this bull.  He won't go 350"; likely in the 320's.

I have a tough time with that "if you'd shoot him the last day and be happy don't pass him on the first day" saying. I have heard it before but in a special draw area with big bull potential, say 350 plus potential, shooting a 310 bull the first day would be a tough one to live with but after you give it your all for ten days then that same bull would be a well earned reward if you gave it your all. Just my opinion knock on wood. nwhunter

 dont put to much emphasis on score unless your shooting whoppers all the time.  when theres no doubt in your head on whether to shoot him pull the trigger.  in other words if your debating in your head on whether to shoot or not its probably not the one.

Guys...........I hate to be a party pooper on my first post...but that bull won't score over 305...his mains are to short, and he lacks mass between points 2&3  to go any highter....He is a fine bull though especially if you are gonna take him with a bow.

Obviousely you know nothing about bulls, sorry man but you suck at feild judging.

Anyway, lets see here, how bout some tine lengths:
G-1s 15ish
G-2s 14ish
G-3s 13ish
G-4s 16 @ 17ish
G-5s 14 @ 12
G-6 6
Mass bout 52
Insice about 40
Mains abot49 @ 50
so that makes.....340 wow, just what I thought.  ;)
