>:( >:( >:( first of all this is a rant and is a good place to write this in my opinion. I have looked at pictures of bulls on this site taken in the last couple years and just dont understand how there can be that many 300 to 350 bulls killed. if so the record books should be just exploding with new entry's every year. i wish i had some of your guy's tape measurer's so i cant take them with me when i go sturgeon fishing. i see some people say there bull is 350 and there buddys bull is 300 right next to each other and there is no way. the pope and young book should be full after the last two years of archery seasons there shouldnt be any more room or paper left in the state to enter all the bulls that qualify. here are some numbers i crunched real quick to give you an idea of a 300-315 bull 1st 2nd and 3rd points 16 inches 4rths 18 inches 5ths 12 inches 40 inch main beam and 38 width thats 274 inches now add in the mass measurements and ive only seen a handfull of bulls on here in the last couple years killed that would come close to this and those are conservative numbers. thats giving a bull some nice tine length that alot of these so called 350 inch bulls you guys have killed in the last two years dont have. sorry guys to rant about this but if you dont know how to score something have it done instead of comin up with numbers that do not seem realistic. some of these so called 300 inch bulls must have a 40 inch long nose on them. i am not saying anything bad about any picture of any bull posted on here congradulations to each and every one of you guys great job in harvesting nice animals. an elk is an elk you cant take that from anyone but for god sakes if you cant score an animal please dont post a picture of a bull and say its 320 when in reality its only 280 or 290 and thats my :twocents:
Couldnt agree more. Ive been Elk hunting for over 25 years. Seen some really nice bulls killed. I personally havent killed a NICE bull yet (over 300). This is my 4th year hunting in WA for elk and Ive noticed that once a bull is down here. The inches add up quick... :twocents: Dont get me wrong. There are some nice bulls in this state. Ive seen them recentlly out in the woods... But Ive seen how SOME hunters, hunt up here. You have to get out of the truck, beat the brush, look for sign. Then find the animal you want. :twocents: I know when you kill a bull, you are so damn proud of yourself. You want to put more inches onto it. I know friends that did, then when it was measured. They said "WTF?????"

50cal..... thats a great lookin bull great photo taken of the bull great mass to him so its probably more decieving than anything but without seeing that bull in person i cant really give you an honest guess with a quartering view i have nothing to compare with in the photo as to length he has a great frame and mass but without a couple more pics im not going to give you my opinion of score but congradulations its a beautiful bullThe reason I posted this Elk pic is because many "experts" have guessed anywhere from 290 to 340. When I tell them it scores 316" a few have called B.S & still don't believe me until I show them the score sheet. Some guys don't ever want to admit their wrong but the look on their face when proven wrong is priceless. :chuckle: By the way it cost $10.00 to score your rack & a extra $20.00 to enter the Wa record book if thats your thing.

Ok I'll play. What do you think this one's official score is?OK I will guess...308" gross. Short mb's great mass and short fronts. All in all though a gorgeous bull. I would have shot him in a heart beat. :twocents: :tup:
What does he score?

just gotta face the fact that there are more big game hunters that are full of chit than there are 400lb black bears, 300 +" elk and 40" inch mule deer. its even worse in the fishing community.
John Gierach had a pretty good system for sorting out the truth in fishing stories although I can't quite remember it at the moment.
even waterfowlers have their share of twenty pound geese and such. even their dogs take on exaggeration weight. how many times have you heard of someone's 120 pound lab? I have been a dog person all my life and have seen very very few labs that are over 100 pounds AND healthy.
just gotta take it with a grain of salt, and sit patiently waiting for the day when you can bust out your trusty measuring tape and dash someone's exaggerated view of a trophy against the sharp cruel rocks of reality.
I can just see it now... your 13year old nephew timmy comes over to show you his trophy 300 + elk rack (timmy can't help it that his daddy is a little full of chit and prone to over estimation) and you bust out the tape and score it before he has time to wipe the smile off his face...
"299 take that Timmy!! HAHAHAHAHA"
or you could just smile, nod :dunno: and rest easy in the fact that your elk are scored and others are not.

300...... for your info it really affect me in any way what so ever i just would like people to stop makin them selves look kinda stupid when they tell people theyve killed a 350 bull when in reality it might only be 310 thats all inm sayinKnow what bugs me? People making themselves look stupid on the world wide web. If you don't understand basic grammar, that can't be helped. But for Christs sake, hit the spell check button!! It's making, not makin. "Themselves" is one word. They've, not theyve. That's, not thats. I'm, not inm. And it is congratulations that go out to successful hunters, not congradulations. Wow. now I feel much better. :twocents:

I think most guys do give the gross score. My Bull from 2 years ago would be a good example gross @ 339 net @ 320.

I have to agree with the notion most hunters don't know how to score antlers. I know I didn't and when I shot my 300 class bull last year. I had to measure it 5 different times when i arrived home only to get it up to a wopping 255 :(. Don't get me wrong...Great bull, great hunting experience, fabulous meat...I just didn't have any idea what kind of bull you must have to score over 300 :dunno:. I do now and there are very few of them out there. Thanks for the post! :tup:

Speaking of "THE" bobcat thread, does anyone know if it's still here? I seem to remember looking for it along with the picture once and I couldn't find it.
I just remember that the two-track road was one travelled by 20 foot wide trucks, and the grass was about 8 ft tall. It really put things into perspective regarding the size of that

semper.. im not blasting anyone for posting a picture or or getting excited about killing anything im just as happy not matter what someone kills im just saying please for god sake dont post a pic of a 280 bull and say its 340 it makes you look bad..... and for killbilly and mntdew who really cares about spelling im not writing an article for a magazine i could care less and if your going to really go that route you have issues of your own... i guess you read it and understood what i wrote so whats the big deal...... ive seen alot of stuff on here misspelled and i dont see you blasting them so i think you must be one of those guys that have a "350" bull that really scores 300..
so you have NEVER measured anything wrong or added a little in haste or excitement :dunno: just sayin (spelled wrong on purpose) it sounds like something of yours got measured in a little low.....
and they pointed out the spelling and grammar because you were calling guys out if you are going to do that you might want to check spelling and all first. again just sayin

I just hope some day that my life is so incredibly stress free that when I go to my favorite hunting site, that the biggest concern I have is whether or not a guy measured his animal within a gnats eyelash. Good lord folks, it's hunting season, get out and do some and relieve some stress.
Can't eat antlers and unless they start a new category for elk or deer that weighs the most...Check that, I still wouldn't care if it had tape put to it. It's always nice to see the guys on here that have spent days and nights searching for the trophy bull and I congratulate them on their accomplishment because it is an accomplishment but, I personally would rather have meat in my freezer to feed my family.
If they don't want to score their bull then who cares? I don't and I'm not going to bug them about it.

I really hope nobody is losing sleep over it. As I said, it is my first archery bull, I scored it with a 1/4 inch wide flexible tape following directions from trophy-elk.com. I could take the time to type out the score details, download the pdf scoring sheets for you, show all the deductions etc etc, and have you guys show me what I did wrong, but in the end I don't really care that much.
Your all very right, I am not a trained or an official measurer, it hasent been 60 days, Im sure I did it all wrong and exaggerated my score grossly, its probably way smaller than that, and Im sure yours is bigger. I am sorry.
That will teach me not to ever post trophy pics again. Lesson learned. I should stick to shooting, scouting, hunting and killing. Ill leave the internet soap box speculation to you guys.
Meanwhile, I am eating elk for dinner.

Other then the fact that you begrudge people for scoring a bull bigger then yours when OBVIOUSLY theirs is by FAR an inferior bull. Scores are just numbers and I never really liked math so I guess I don't get the obsession with scores. Yeah it's cool to know but it's not that important. If your bull is a trophy you don't need a score to tell you it's a trophy..... I like meat, I like horns, and I LOVE hunting.

Scores are just numbers and I never really liked math so I guess I don't get the obsession with scores. Yeah it's cool to know but it's not that important. If your bull is a trophy you don't need a score to tell you it's a trophy..... I like meat, I like horns, and I LOVE hunting.
Damn.... What you said Grundy... that hat you won at Catfishing must be working.. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

hey grundy where is my hatred i have if i do have any hatred show me all i was trying to say is if your going to fudge the score make it believable dont add thirty inches where you cant and i don't apply for any hunts so how can i be pissed i didn't draw any tags i hunt general season dont have to have a special permit or second tag or quality tag i dont have as much free time as some people to get out and hunt for two months a year....Worked 60-70 hours a week all year, raised 3 kids, loved a wife and hunted 3 days! FYI
I think you are entitled to you opinion but to come on here and start bashing on what you think a animal scores is un called for! the guy that has the animal in his hands has a better chance of scoring correct than the guy sitting and looking a computer! :tup:

What does it really matter to you what someone says their animal scores?!?! Or what they say it scores?? Does it somehow affect your life in any way? Does it make work more or less stressful? Does it make your wife love you more or less?? Does it make you have more or less money in your pocket?? Does it make you sleep better or worse at night?? Does it in any way affect your happiness in life????:chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :tung:
If you answered YES to any of these questions....Please seek professional help as soon as possible!!! If you Answered NO to all of these questions..... Stop your whining!
And if it really bothers you that bad....I want you to know..... Every elk I kill is 400"....Every Buck I kill is 200"....Every Bear I kill is 23"....I'm 12"....Every Salmon I catch weighs 30#'s....and I draw OIL tags EVERY YEAR!!!!
Now....Here are your :twocents: back....plus I am willing to send you $.25 so you can call someone that cares!!!
Have a Nice Night!!! LMAO
Now we know why everything you score is so big. Get a tap measure that works.
LMAO.......Glad someone caught onto that.....I always get the CM and the IN mixed up!!! LOL

Wasn't gonna post it but wanted to see what you thought it might score without putting your hands on it.
376???? Kind of hard to guess from a picture like that , I am guessing on width and that its not trick photography.

congrats 400.. way to go man and tell me where am i bashing somebody all i want is for people to be more informed on how to score an animal the correct way before posting a score thats all i am saying.............Hey genius I think the point is that you should keep your expert opinion to yourself and let people be happy about their bull. It really doesn't hurt anything.

Post by: runamuk on September 16, 2011, 06:57:21 AM
Right... what am I gonna do. Take it back to the big elk store and return it for a bigger one?? It doesn't really matter to me... 341 5/8" although you guys might not trust the source :chuckle:

Charlie I don't like seeing you on here! I'm hoping that you'll go to your local big elk store and show me what a really big elk looks like...
You want me to try to kill a bigger bull that yours ..... LMAO!!! I could only dream to kill a bull as big as yours on the wet side :yike: I'll probably have to settle for a clearance bull :chuckle:

am i not right or in the wrong for saying something.
Both.
Leave 'em be... it's just a number and doesn't represent anything about the elk hunt other than inches of bone. If it's off, it doesn't change the fact that they are proud of their accomplishment. Dumping all over them over rounding up a few 1/8ths, however, changes a celebration thread into a full-on trial. If you absolutely must prove to them that you know what a 300 class bull looks like and theirs ain't it, do us all a favor and send them a PM. I'd wager you'll get the appropriate response.

firefighter i'm guessing around 330You are close to the net score. It grossed 353 6/8th and with the net score of 342 5/8th. I was hoping you weren't going to tell me that my bull was below 300". :brew:

I'm sure that most guys stretch there tape abit or use a steel tape
Boone & Crocket require the use of a steel tape. ;)

All measurements must be made with a 1/4‑inch wide flexible steel tape to the nearest one‑eighth of an inch.

Just for fun here is a 300+/-" Rosie from this year that won't be entered......just look how big it is compared to the proud hunter.
Post by: buck man on October 21, 2011, 10:46:18 PM
Not everyone sees a need to have an animal entered in a book. I know a few people who have taken book animals and have no desire to even have them measured. The fact is that there are far MORE good/successful hunters in this state that don't even know about this site....and quite a few people on this site who spend so much time posting that they can't possibly spend as much time in the woods as they would lead you to believe.Beautiful bull and cute little girl but bull is far from 300. :tup:
