Can We have a Good informative Post without dickheads ?

don't think it will go less then 320 or over 335

but here is a question, I have seen a lot of these guess the score contests, and there are always guys that will guess down to the 1/8 of an inch,,,,do they honestly think they can guess the sum of all measurements minus deducations and come up with an intellegent guess down to the 1/8 of an inch???

carry on,,,,,,,,,,
 
Cheese, come on.. Moosie wants you to help score an elk - I know you can do this. I have a picture of you scoring one. :D
 
Greenbutt...

I'm not supposed to stir the pot any more "dickhead", to many people complain because of it

I will mention that I'm honored that one of your caliber would put my picture on your screen saver and even occasionally share it with the rest of the class :p
 
I beleive from the same neighborhood as Oaks bull. The only picture I have at work.

I want to see some of the AZ bulls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last year I went archery and shot a squeaker.

First day of rifle season I was out deer hunting with a friend when I spotted up this bull, he wasn't very hard to spot laying out in the open like that.......................no tag for me. He was a very happy camper though, in Colorado OTC.

I blocked out his face cause he is a bunch of gay porn. I figured most on this site would recognize him and feell uncomfortable:D

Moosie:

Here's a few bulls that are in your requested range (300-360). Stan may have trouble posting some examples of bulls in this range.......now 360-420, he'll have no problem. :D

All of these bulls have been officially measured, so the gross and net are known. These are simply medium bulls in many zones.....but not bad for the particular area I was hunting. IMO, the tag you have.....holding out for a bull bigger than these is a must.

Sometimes the measurements are mute when faced with a unique antler configuration. This is my partner's bull he arrowed the same year I arrowed mine (above photo). It's gross score wasn't bad....net was substantially lower. But.....this is a neat bull I'd love to have.

Moosie, your post by Greenhorn is back up and all cleaned up. Doing my Job for you. Shit, you whine and act like you own this frigging website, Chill out;)
 
You better.... Or I'll dock yer pay. How much is 10% of nothing again ?

I'm a little Wrapped up in a project right now so I didn't have time to clean it up myself...... Look at the Grasmere Idaho thread in the Investment (Working for Peanuts) section here..... :D
 
Here's one...it's out of your requested range but these guys are telling you to aim higher. :)

JLG knows the score & story for this. I hope he doesn't mind me posting it. His buddy's wife shot it in AZ.
 
Here are the approx. numbers for my bull. I can't remember the exact measurements, but these are within an inch. I do remember the gross and net.

MB - 45"
G1 - 18"
G2 - 17"
G3 - 16"
G4 - 16"
G5 - 10"
Mass - 55"
Spread - 41"
---------
Grossed a fraction over 340 and netted a fraction over 334.
 
Don't you guys have anything better to do than call each other pee pee heads and score elk. If the elk is something you would be happy with shoot it, especially with a bow. If you go on a guided hunt than you should shoot a big one, cause you pay for it. That's why I only hunt public land with a bow, cause I'm happy shooting a calf. Can't eat the antler's, but damn they look good......Oak, I would have to say 332.....Not that I care.:D

Nice bull oak. Those G2's and G3's fooled me big time.
 
I do not know what promted this post... But in the field this is how I judge the bull.

First, I look at are the backs. If the backs are good lets say the G5 and G6 are 6 inches long or around there and there is some mass. I look at the length of the ear of the elk to determine from a distance the length of the G5 and G6. The mass will continue through out the horns.

Second, I look at the G3. This is where the bull will drop in points if it is only 8 inches long. If this is longer then double the length of the elk ear you have a great elk and typically it will be in the 350 - 365 inch bull.

Last, I look at the fronts, width, and over all symetricalness (if that is a word) of the rack. The G1 and G2 must be longer then the nose.

One last word... Sometimes you can look at a bull and there is no mass to the antlers. These are the ones that screw me up. But if it is thin I usually going to shoot it. In archery with thick brush you do not have a lot of time to judge. I can scan the three steps in two seconds. I also shot a 5 X6 that I thought would be 310 and ended up being something like 273...

Hell, I'm getting too old for this.......... I was on here 3 or 4 days ago telling smaltzy how he was the best flatlander elk judger I knew and trying to tell him how the Mountaineers were not only going to win their conference, but may also challenge for the BCS championship...........then what ya know, I come back to a nuclear fallout.........:(

A lot of shiat must have been said in the latter posts......hate I missed it:)
Nice bulls fellas...

What no one is saying here is that Mr. Kicker is the winner! First guesser and under 4"! Not too shabby for an Idaho boy!?!

P.S. Notice that I didn't say gross or net to give myself a large cushion? Don't let anyone on to my secret!!!
