Post by: X-Force on September 01, 2015, 09:04:02 PM: That is easily a legal spike (assuming the points visible in the picture are the only points on the bull). The skull on spikes attaches to the antlers about 1-1.5" above the skull plate.

Post by: ridgefire on September 01, 2015, 09:19:33 PM: I wouldn't risk it. Would suck to shoot it and realize those eyegaurds make it a branch bull.

Post by: tonymiller7 on September 02, 2015, 07:35:26 AM: The points visible in this picture are the only points he has. I have quite a few pictures of him.

Post by: HUNT-HARD on September 02, 2015, 10:10:05 AM: I would shoot that bull. But with that said if you have to ask on the site then you must be having second guesses on it. Only you can make that call to pull the trigger.

That picture was in Idaho though so it could be different here :chuckle:
