How big is this bull?

Postby IdahoKel » 08 17, 2015 •  [Post 1]

So I went to get one of my cameras yesterday and there was what appeared to be a bachelor group moving through a few days ago. Unfortunately, it seems I angled the camera too far down, and most of their antlers were cut off. I'm actually still working on getting my 1st elk, so I'd be happy with any of them, but this one looked to be the biggest of them, and I'm just dying to know how big he is. Judging from his brow tines, he seems pretty big to me. But I could be wrong, or perhaps there's just really no way to know. Just for fun I thought I'd ask you guys. What do you think??

Good possibility is a 6 point, a guess in the 270ish class.

Decent brows but the main beam looks thin. I'm guessing 3.5 year bull based on body size and antler mass. Could be 5 pt, 6pt... Too hard to tell..

Hard to tell but I would say 284 if he is a six point... :lol: Good bull for sure.
