Title: Not a bad little elk....no bull tag though.
Post by: h20hunter on July 24, 2013, 08:53:02 PM: I know a guy.....fella named D-Rock....has a tree stand, some elk, and no bull tag. Sucks for him I suppose......

Would you shoot this guy or let him grow a bit?

Post by: JPhelps on July 24, 2013, 09:12:50 PM: This bull will be a stud in a couple years. It would be a tough call, but the moment always gets the best of me so I'm probably blood trailing about now.

Post by: D-Rock425 on July 24, 2013, 09:14:16 PM: Kinda short on the tops.

Post by: coachcw on July 24, 2013, 10:05:42 PM: good last hour shooter . on a tag that takes years to get he would be hard to let grow up !

Post by: Fowlweather25 on July 24, 2013, 10:08:45 PM: Dead bull considering hes gonna pack on a few more inches between now and go time!

Post by: Taco280AI on July 25, 2013, 04:20:51 AM: Not a bad little bull :chuckle:

The best bull I've ever seen was a 7 point at 20 yards, opening day of deer season :(

Post by: D-Rock425 on July 25, 2013, 06:15:41 AM: How big do you think that bull is?

Post by: sirmissalot on July 25, 2013, 06:30:05 AM: He does have weak tops but I have a thing for kickers, and everything else is pretty stellar. I'd be shootin.
Title: Re: Not a bad little elk....no bull tag though.
Post by: JPhelps on July 25, 2013, 06:31:19 AM: 290-300. He should be done growing.

Post by: trophyhunt on July 25, 2013, 06:32:26 AM: I would wait if I had a blue's tag in my pocket, couple more years and he will be a pig.

Post by: washelkhunter on July 25, 2013, 06:51:33 PM: Pass on a 7X7? No way! He sure is blonde all over isn't he? Hey! may work to some ones advantage eh? :chuckle:
Title: Re: Not a bad little elk....no bull tag though.
Post by: SniperDanWA on July 26, 2013, 09:37:20 AM: I'd want him to grow, but I'd shoot. A kill is better than tag soup, again.
Title: Re: Not a bad little elk....no bull tag though.
Post by: TheFewTheProud on July 26, 2013, 09:44:48 AM: Yea. These new tags don't taste worth a darn, no matter how you cook them.
Title: Re: Not a bad little elk....no bull tag though.
Post by: MtnMuley on July 26, 2013, 09:48:04 AM: He'd be hard to pass with those matching kickers, but the thought of him in a couple years would be hard to get past. With this state though (pending he is in a branched draw only unit), if the guy is lucky enough draw the tag, he surely won't draw it again to have the chance at htis bull.......let alone probably ever see him again.
