Title: Guess the score for a $100 Homedepot gift card!
Post by: TexasRed on September 08, 2023, 12:03:40 AM: Sorry, couldnt figure out how to make a single post with both
Pics. Here's one more. He's a little thin... but those fronts $$$$ and the main beams go for days! I like to think I'm pretty good at field judging but this one is tough! I reckon I know around where he'll tape out, curious about y'all's thoughts! Throw out a guess and IF I kill him this year I'll send a $100 Homedepot gift card to the closest guess! 🇺🇲🍻

Post by: High Climber on September 08, 2023, 10:33:27 AM: That’s a big boy. 360 is my guess since you asked but he’s an all day any tag shooter for me! What kind of tag do you have for him? In WA?

Post by: bearhunter99 on September 08, 2023, 01:03:01 PM: 350 plus or minus. Score on that bull wouldn't really matter for me but I am a sucker for unique racks and he has that in spades.....

:yeah:
But I'm a little more liberal with my tape. 366..

Post by: 10thmountainarcher on September 08, 2023, 01:48:08 PM: I’m with bear hunter, that bull is catching an arrow on most any tag. I love the trash at the top! My initial thought was 357”. Now kill it so we can figure out what he is!

Post by: Caseknife on September 08, 2023, 07:55:26 PM: Going out on a limb here, but he appears to be a young bull, antlers are on the thin side, lots of trash, but I would be surprised if he made 330".

He is a shooter for sure.👍

Post by: meatwhack on September 09, 2023, 04:31:23 PM: I don’t think he’s over 330’s tops. Looks like a young bull and everything’s fairly short.

I think this is a pretty fair breakdown from the pics. I would personally add quite a bit more to the spread. I think it's a bit easier to get a reasonable judgement without a hunter sitting 3' behind him playing camera tricks! Here are 2 more of him (not the best, his cows were feeding at the cam and he was off in the distance) but gives different perspective. Few more weeks, we'll have to see which way he gets pushed. :dunno:
Title: Re: Shooter or naw... guess the score!
Post by: meatwhack on September 10, 2023, 10:47:25 AM: I think the royals are closer to 15 than 20 and the mains won’t break 50. Go out the smack down on him and let us know what he scores.

Post by: huntnphool on November 26, 2023, 10:06:09 PM: Unless you are the one that spent 10’s of thousands for the auction tag, I’m not sure why anyone else would ask “shooter or naw” :twocents: :dunno:
Title: Re: Shooter or naw... guess the score!
Post by: Alchase on November 27, 2023, 12:02:31 PM: I'm guessing roughly 250............

Pounds of fantastic elk meat, I totally suck at scoring :hello:

I would hang him on my wall :tup:
Title: Re: Shooter or naw... guess the score!
Post by: time2hunt on November 27, 2023, 05:04:33 PM: So I talked with the OP earlier this year when he posted pics of this bull on the general area of this bull elk. The reasoning was that we harvested this bull in 2013. I would say genetically they are related. As for the area these bull are at least 30 mile apart from each other as a crow flys.

Post by: TommyH on November 27, 2023, 08:09:37 PM: That’s an amazing bull, any tag .. it’s sheds may be around or it’s genetics.
Title: Re: Shooter or naw... guess the score!
Post by: time2hunt on November 27, 2023, 08:55:09 PM: They collared him a month before the season so there was no data. They didn’t really want us eating him do to the tranquilizer used.
