I'm guessing it won't take long for this to go at least PG-13, but I'll give it a try anyways. When you're looking over an elk, what's the first thing that pops out (on the elk)? I'm a sucker for the thirds.

since I have yet to shoot my first bull (not from lack of trying, but I did shoot a cow with my rifle)....I'm a sucker for branched antlers with atleast 4 points to a side...lol

From a distance - tine length

Up close - mass

A four inch tine on the lower half of the main beam.

Beams and royals!!!!!!!!!

 

[the nikster]

I like them to come out wide before heading up over the back.
and mass,
and tine length,
and dark, I like them dark.

I am with you John. The memories of the hunt make every one a trophy.

But, that being said, I would prefer big antlers too.

Randy11 and Dink said it for me.

Agree with Randy..and a little palmation is always cool

 

[streamer]

A legal bull is good, but a 300 would be great, a crazy non-typical would be a dream.

 

[Oak]

The tops...4ths on back.

 

[npaden]

Whale tails.

 

[Mikeflies]

The first thing will most likely be my heart from my chest that sticks out. I am yet to shoot a Bull, but its coming.

One's like this!!! 357 3/8" net after 60 day drying period and shot by my buddy while I was sitting next to him opening morning in Wyoming last October!!! His head/rack was so heavy I had to straddle him for this photo because I couldn't lift or turn it!

 

[EatOrganic]

Great thirds always get me. When its shoot time though I would just like to find one with a sixth. Oh well, that keeps me going out every year.

Me too... Wait- I realy don't even have standards now that I think about it.
