I am just wondering people's opinions out there on scoring bulls and what we see and read here in the posts. I hear people talking left and right about the toad bulls they are seeing this year 400+!!! You will see a bull that might gross 360 posted and everyone is crapping themselves thinking this a 390+ bull, biggest bull ever, etc, etc.
While I won't knock a 360 bull or a 300 bull because a trophy is in the eye of the beholder, the over exaggeration here gets ridiculous some times. It might be a minor issue, but what happens when a guy who thinks every bull that scores 300 is a 350+ bull draws a primo tag and kills a dink. Its no sweat off my back if someone does that, but don't get bummed when your suppossed 360 bull gets scored at 310.
It can go the other way too. I had a friend guide an early rifle hunt in AZ last year and his client killed a bull that grossed 406 and the guy was like ho hum and it was his first elk ever. He was saying maybe I should have waited for a bigger one (No tip either). That sucks too when someone can't even appreciate what a monster a 400+ bull is that and that 99% of us won't get a bull that size.
If you don't care about the size of the rack great, but don't pull numbers out of your butt and post. Too many times guys are having to call bs and ask for pictures to prove it.
