Post by: MtnMuley on September 10, 2013, 02:44:10 PM: Great bull, but do we even know it's from this year? I don't do FB, so I can't read it. Also, I think a lot of people would be amazed on how many trophy animals killed in this state don't "make" the internet. ;)

They don't count brow tines on elk, therefore the 5x5 bull I shot would be a 3-point to them. Also they round down if that makes sense.
Round down? So a 6x7 is a 6pt?

He said its from the margaret unit :dunno: whoever shot it and wherever it was shot its a dandy bull :tup:

Post by: firefighter4607 on September 11, 2013, 12:14:57 AM: Great bull! What did it score? :drool:
Title: Re: Big bull on Facebook
Post by: bolsen on September 11, 2013, 05:05:40 AM: Who said anything about Margaret, bigbluff? What doesn't add up to you? Total points on that bull is 8x6, its got a 1.5 inch crab claw on top. Scored 365 . No Sundance we don't round down, if its a 6x5 its still a 4x3 bull the way we count them. A 4 point bull(total) is a forked horn.

What?

Around here we count all the points on bull elk.

For deer, we count the points on one antler, but not the eye guards. So a 3X3 with eye guards is just a three point.
