i was in the new mexico this weekend and i saw one bull that was grown out to his sixths, had what i estimated to be 17-18" g1 and g2's, 14" g3's, 15" g4's and 5ths were 7-8", and beginnings of a sticker off his right g5. i got a great look at him for 15 minutes from under 100 yds with my 10x42's. with a month left to grow he is going to be a pig! several smaller bulls were grown out to their 4ths and 5ths.

any guesses as to what this bull might finish out at? bull had good mass(not that it matters much for score), and was probably 40" or so wide. by my estimate could be 380ish. maybe some of you all have more experience judging how much bulls will add in the remaining month or so, assuming decent moisture, etc.

With any mass at all....400 easy, if its....oh wait its not a Utah bull....then 350'ish.

Tageater;

Middle...that was a joke, as it seems every bull someone sees in Utah, (on the hoof) is getting to the 400 inch mark. I'm not impressed by the fact that some one sees 400 inch bulls.... what impresses me is a good clean ethical kill on one with a bow. and the trophy isn't in the score...for me.
Your offer to take me out to show me a few is a kind gesture. thank you, but i just used my last diaper and wont be getting any more my size( custom made to hold what i'm packing) for a month.

lol.....its all in fun, man.

I went up for a cruise to the hunting campsite yesterday on a my motorcycle to see if I could cut firewood yet, Come around a corner doing about 40 and here's a nice Bull right in the middle of the road with horn growth out to the sword tines.I figure he'll go 350 and for around here in Wyoming thats a nice bull. There was another Elk with him but didn't see the head.
