Title: Which bull gets your arrow?
Post by: Buck Rub Jr on August 21, 2018, 06:22:50 PM: Finally got around to pulling my elk cams. Got some great bulls on cam but these two are my favorite, which would you prefer? The Heavy 6 has my heart.

Post by: wafisherman on August 21, 2018, 06:32:12 PM: if I truly had the choice.... if only.... I would go for the one that looks like it has the most and best quality meat. But you are probably looking for input from guys who actually harvested many elk and are actually getting picky....

Post by: jrebel on August 21, 2018, 06:34:32 PM: Either.....the 7 has weak 3s but huge 4's. The 6 has bigger 3's but weak 4's........all helllll who am I kidding, I would shoot whichever presented first. What about the one in the middle....does he have a set of nuts?? Maybe he gets shot first when he turns broadside.
cool pics.

Post by: fishngamereaper on August 22, 2018, 06:47:22 AM: Im doing the same thing to myself. Checking cams, looking at bulls and trying to pick the one I want, when ultimately (if Im given the opportunity at a clean shot) the decision is not really up to me.

Nice bulls though.

Post by: b0bbyg on August 22, 2018, 09:30:09 AM: What Cryder said, Well I think so at least :chuckle:

If I get an Elk like either of those in my sites I will:
1. Try not to panic
2. Probably panic
3. Start over at step #1
4. Take the first shot I am able to muster.
5. With any luck celebrate and get ready for a lot of work.

Post by: biggfish on August 22, 2018, 02:32:11 PM: If they were all together with good shot presentation, I'd drop the smallest one. I know call me crazy, but I hunt alone so I would go after the one that is easiest to manage after the shot.

We actually had a herd of about 50-60 elk infront of the camera that the big 6 was on when we went to go pull it. We watched them for about 10-15 minutes and there’s pictures of a decent 6 Point bull with the next set of photos being me 20 minutes later pulling it off the tree. Last year we had a real nice 6 and a rag horn at 12 yards in that exact spot as well. Shoot three years ago my buddy had an arrow pass through a cow when we were hunting and the arrow stuck into the base of the tree that my camera was hung up on all summer long. Sorry that your cameras have been stolen, it’s a shame people do that to other hunters.

Spikes are better eating. Those are ground elk and pork mix. Dog likes to chew antlers.
