More pics of jacked up elk...

[dryflyelk]

I grabbed the pics off of our trailcam on Saturday. The last time we got this cam, we had a bunch of pics of a three legged bull. Check out what we got this time.
There's also a pretty nice one on here. What does he score?

LOL. Dude, is your trail cam near a nuclear plant or a very busy highway?
Thanks for sharing. Real conversation pieces.

The bottom one scores big enough to shoot and thats for sure!!

So does this qualify as a spike in Utah?

UTAH BIG GAME
BUCKS AND BULLS AND ONCE-IN-A-LIFE-TIME
PROCLOMATION"

"spike bull" means a bull elk which has at least one antler having no branching above the ears. Branched means a projection on an antler longer than one inch, measured from its base to its tip (R657-5-2(2)(s))

Does that mean this guy has no branching above the ears on the one side? Free game, right?

Dryfly, Washington has those same regs and if i got a good look at him he would be dead in a spike only unit, he does not branch above the ears.

Send your pic to the DWR. They can tell you if he is legal. LAst year I found a big 6 pt with a brow tine and giant club below it on the other side. They said he was legal. They were not too eager to tell me, but according to the wording??? Anyways, these type bulls can ruin the genetics IF it is genetics. If he is legal I would dump him. Good luck!

P.S. the other bull is pretty nice too.

Hey what do you think the nicer one would score? I had a dude just tell me he thinks he'd do 270. I laughed. I was thinking he's a 330 class bull.

 

[bubbas]

he won't do 330

 

[crazyaboutcoues]

Is that a salt block that is attracting them? That bull will maybe go 300.

Those are some great pictures. That bottom bull is pretty young still and is maybe 295-300.At first I thought he would be around 315 but after looking him over , I'm thinking he's not . Still a good bull and I'd draw back on him but he is pretty young....
