These are studs.

Another stud.

Sorry, those are boards that self-identify as studs.

Thanks for framing your remark as such.

Didn’t a craftsman have to transition them to studs?

Nope, the supplier labels them and sells them as studs, as shown in the photo. For eight feet high wall typically 92 5/8 inches in length.

Man, this is some pro level derailment.
What a damn fine bull, how does elk hunting on Sill work? Is it open to anyone?

That is a very impressive trophy bull elk.

Just so you know: pet peeve regarding misnomers such as stud, hog, speed goat, and others which don't pay accurate and respectful honor to wildlife cause an unavoidable reaction.

I thought it was just me lol. If I never hear speed goat again, I'll be a happy hunter

I’m out here right now chasing elk on it.

Active duty, guard, reserve, retirees, or employees who work on the base. It’s a very lucrative opportunity, that’s for sure. I’ve seen a lot of elk.

Probably the most traffic a OK thread will get all year! I'll take what I can get .



So on base hunting is limited to military only I believe with opportunities for both active and retired individuals. I'm not sure of all the rules, regs, and stipulations that come with hunting on a active artillery range but I bet there's a few. Anyone can apply for the Wichita Mountains wildlife refuge (which borders the base) elk hunt with not so great odds. There's also quite a bit of elk on the private around the refuge and base but you either gotta be born to the right person, marry in, or pony up some $ for that to happen.

 

[Hammsolo]

Yeah, we need more pictures. The bull’s first three points and mass are epic. The rest are underrated by the picture.

 

[Caseknife]

Pretty narrow, must be very long tines, need more pictures. That or the hunter is about 6'8".

Zane Scrivner holds the antlers of the elk he took in September at Fort Sill. It is Oklahoma’s new record nontypical elk with a score of 411 1/8.
