I promised a few people on here last year that I would post the results of my brother's Nevada hunt after posting some of the bulls we were seeing, but I haven't visited the site much, so I never got around to posting it. So the results are? a big fat 0. It's still, and always will be, a sore...

That's insane. He had a hold-over hard antler while he was growing velvet? Was he injured or was it just stuck on there? Fine Art and Photography http://cbstewart.myshopify.com

In my neck of the woods, nets are for fish :) But yes, I guess I will concede on that one. Sometimes the "ish" numbers with no reasoning turns me into a vigilante. Fine Art and Photography http://cbstewart.myshopify.com

I think the 170-175" range is pretty close. I never have any idea where some of these guys get their scores from. "160ish" is lowballing a buck like that like crazy. Here's my scores for the right side: G1: 1.5 G2: 15 G3: 9 G4: 11 Main: 22 Mass: 17 Multiply that by 2, subtract 2 for the...

Thanks for the tips everyone. And thanks for the Scarpa tip, ill have to try them out somewhere down the road. I did end up trading in the Renegades for the Caminos and Im enjoying them so far. They are definitely a bit warmer than the Renegades, but comfort and fit is similar and they seem much...

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll just have to order them and see for myself. Fine Art and Photography http://cbstewart.myshopify.com

It is always interesting. I'd put him just over 200" gross all day, every day. But I don't ever look at Henry's or Strip bucks, so I think I know a 200" the second I see it because I hardly ever see it! By the way, good choice on turning that fuzzy buck into a real trophy ;) Fine Art and...

Yeah, he's right there. Gross score. Maybe a couple of inches over. As for shoot or pass, that's up to you. If you're looking for a 170 buck, there he is. If you're trying to find a 5 year old buck, that's not him. But some of us have to wait 3 years until the opportunity comes around...

Has anyone here owned or tried both of these boots? (Lowa Renegade GTX and Lowa Camino GTX FreeFlex) I finally decided to step up my footwear game last year and decided on a pair of Lowa Renegade GTX boots. They are hands down the most comfortable boot I've ever put on my foot, but they have...

GeorgeE, I'm fairly new to the bull judging game as well. Many of these guys have been helping me with their experience and tips, but if you'd like a more detailed break down of the 200 base system, there's an article on elk101's website that helps a lot. (I apologize if I'm not supposed to send...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-03-14 AT 03:48PM (MST)[p]I once shot a buck at about 380 yards (which is a hip shot for a lot of guys these days, but a long ways for me with my 3-9 scope). He dropped, got back up, stumbled around, then dropped again. He then proceeded to do the death kick and went limp. I...

I'd second checking out the lights. I own a blacklight I bought from Lowes for finding scorpions, but it makes body fluids like dog pee glow like the dickens as well. I'm not sure how it works on blood but see the stupid whitetail guys use it on tv all the time. Only problems that come to mind...

That's actually a really good point Vanilla. I haven't really thought of it that way. It just seems like saying a possible 360 bull looks like a 340 bull is a slap in the face, but maybe not. I keep thinking with a mule deer mind and to me, calling a 190 buck a 170 or 160 buck is getting way...

Well, this thread his been helpful in more ways than one. It has made me realize that I'm not the only uneducated guy out there, ha. No offense to anyone, but the bottom line in all of this is half of you are probably right and the other half have no idea what you're talking about. Which half...

Here comes the giant discrepancies again. There's a HUGE difference between 340 and 360. I guess that's why everyone says to shoot first and tape later when it comes to elk, huh? Thanks for all of the input though guys. And I agree, the 2nd bull just gets bigger and bigger every time I look...

Here's another bull we're keeping an eye on. Real long tines but narrow and not as pretty as the other bull. I know, you're getting too damn picky when you look at that bull and say he's not pretty enough, but we'll see what happens when the adrenaline starts pumping anyways... (sorry for the...

Thanks for all of the feedback so far everyone. Mntman, your measurements are almost on par for what I was putting him at, except I was guessing the G1's are about 15, putting him a little under 370. I probably need a lot more practice. Thanks for your breakdown though, really helpful.

My brother finally drew a good Nevada bull tag for early rifle. Admittedly, I am completely new to the world of field judging elk. I am also completely new to the world of forums, so I hope I'm doing this right. We have found several nice bulls over the past couple of weeks of scouting...

Not sure where or how high you're talking about, but yes, try higher. Even in the lower areas I have hunted in years past, the biggest bucks will often go to the highest points and into cover within the first 30 visible minutes of the morning. Once they get pressured, they'll go nocturnal until...
