His body was absolutely huge. He dwarfed the little guy he was ganging with.

Is his left side a visible antler? Or am I seeing something in the background?
I see no antler

It's a little knob about the size of a tennis ball.Hate to start a debate, but he looks like a legal spike. Not true spike.

Elk taken in these game
management units (GMUs) must have at least
one antler with no branches originating more
than four (4) inches above where the antler
attaches to the skull. An animal with a spike on
one side (1x2) is legal in spike only units. An
animal with more than one antler point more
than four inches above where the antler attaches
to the skull on both sides (2x2) is illegal.
Further,
Antler Points: To qualify as a point, an antler
point must be at least one-inch in length,
measured on the longest side.
That's a legal animal.

Am I missing something in the translation of the regs? I don't see four inches of antler from the skull to make him spike legal. Or are you sure after the hide and flesh is off the skull four or more inches of growth is measured.I don't think anything says there has to be 4 inches of antler to be a spike. Only that it can't fork over 4 inches up.

my guess is he is in a true spike area any way :twocents:
Nope...... :yike: :yike: But if he stays put he will definitely live another year. :tup:
Unless of course he breaks his neck with all that weight on there.

I wonder what he would look like if he had grown both antlers. Would this antler be only half as big because the growth would have to be put into 2 antlers instead of one?
I bet it would be just as big.....He has a HUGE body!!! I am sure this is an older bull.
