You guys should have a blast. I just made it homelast night from a hunt on the Stallian range. A buddy had a broken horn tag. We killed a really old bull with 1 32 inch horn and the other broken half way. A guy in the hotel room next to us was an 0utfitter from Alamagordo. He took the bull last year in RC with a muzzleloader that is supposed to be the new record.
Anyway as far as judging look for an animal that is mature (big body) and has horns that look 2 and a half times the length of his face, should be a least 36 I guessed my buddies bull right on. Another buddy of mine was guiding during the hunt and I guessed the bull they shot at 36 and it measured 37.
The one I killed in Jan 2007 was 38 1/2 with 7 inch bases. I posted the st0ry here about the hunt with a pic. Look at as many pictures you can find and you can soon tell the difference between a good 1 and a mediocre 1.
RC is supposed to have the best quality animals. Find high points and glass. The stallian hunt has turned int0 a harder hunt but if you look for animals farther away from the road you will have no trouble. In 2days we had 7 oppurtunities at 75 differnt animals ( s0me missed shots and some passed). I don't have any friends that have enough Money to apply for the tags so I don't know when I will get back there. If I can help with any info just ask.
Good luck guys and shoot strait.
