What is your definition of a Raghorn?

[carpsniperg2]

a rag horn to me is a small branch antler bull that is either imature or of poor genetics, makes no difference the point count

I would post, but I don't have permission

Please.... I'm ok with it...

   Thats not what I'd call a raghorn. LOL

This however is borderline, but I would consider him a raghorn.  Probably a 3.5 year old bull

[boneaddict]

This would be another example.....

I would agree with on those pictures. Thinned horned and short.

I have seen some huge 5pts that I wouldnt call raghorns.

I took a 5x5 a few years ago that most would have also taken. on the other hand I've gotten a 5x6 a few years ago that anyone would call a raghorn, tasted good though!

I believe it depends on the person hunting the animal and what area?  Someone that has hunted the Valleys of Western Washington may consider a nice 5x5 a nice herd bull.  But on the other hand someone hunting the blues would consider this same bull a raghorn and pass him up. I guess its like politics and religion everyone has their own opinion and their own standards.  Just my

i consider a rag horn bull to be a bull scoring under 280. just my opinion. i think some bulls go there whole life being a rag horn. all in genetics.

[poohdog]

A lot of hunters on the west side kill some nice bulls that don't go 280 and I wouldn't call them raghorns. They are very heavy 5x5's in the 260+  range.

[MLBowhunting]

alot of bulls dont get a chance to grow up.  The Eastside is producing some giants now with the permit only system which i think is one thing the game dept is doing right I also think any bull smaller then a 5pt is a raghorn in my mind but everyone is diff

[letmhunt]

Anything below 300 inches.

I always considered symmetry and appearance more than size when calling a bull a raghorn.  A good looking small 4x4 or 5x5 was not called a raghorn in our camps just an immature bull, but a nasty uneven 2x3, 3x3, or  even larger with no symmetry was a raghorn.

[Pathfinder101]

Anything between a spike and a 5x5.

If he's got brow tines and he is less than a 5x5, he's a raghorn to me.  I wold have checked 3x3 and 4x4 if we had been able to choose more than one option in the poll.

Regardless of points I think it is more to do with mass than anything.  The 5 point in the picture was not a raghorn he was pretty heavy and a trophy  for most units.

any main frame 6x6 thats less than 280 west and 300 east .
