Checked the trail cam this weekend. Getting stoked to chase next weekend. How big are these guys?

LAST EDITED ON Aug-13-12 AT 12:24PM (MST)[p]Without seeing an actual picture it is hard to make an accurate guess on the score but I'm going to say 270", 306" and 498" :)
 
No way any of those break 320". Never the less I'd be pumped to shoot that BIGGER 320" bull!


Traditional >>>------->
 
In the 1st pic, the bull facing us looks to me to be 340 ish, give or take. Great fronts on this bull. okay on the 4th but seems to have good mass.

4th pic and 5th seems to be a bit bigger to me. Great 4th and 5ths. I would guess 360+. Its hard to see the fronts on that bull in the dark to see how big they really are. I am guessing around 15-17 on the fronts, 10-12 on the 3rds, 20 on the 4ths and 16ish on the 5ths. 50 on main beam??? cant tell. width of 45 for a guess. 25 in mass measurements (i think more). Puts you about 350. But thats just a guess with dark pics. I would love to shoot that bull.

GOOD LUCK ON THE HUNT!!!
 
Got ur self some good looking bulls there. Call me stupid but I'm pretty sure that bull in the second to last pic goes well over 320.
 
Great pics of some bulls! You easily have some 370+ bulls in there. They are super nice... Hope to see some pics with one of those on the ground. Good luck
 
I think you have at least 3 shooters, hope you find and shoot one of them.

You have three amazing bulls in those pics that many LE hunters would be thrilled to harvest. That bull with the big backs is awesome! I would take that over over any of them, don't care about score, although he will score well too.

Consider yourself extremely lucky to have three giants all in the same area. I don't think you fully understand what you have found.
 
Bottom picture, bull in the back is easily over 320" In fact I would dare say he's over 350. Hard to tell without width but if he's got an average 40" spread I would bet on 350+. The rest probably won't go over 320. All you need is one though, right?


It's always an adventure!!!
 
You would have to be an idiot to put that last bull at 320 or 350, he is easily a 370 bull. His beams are touching his arss, and what is he lacking? Not much at all. I dream about seeing bulls like that.
 
First , nice pix and bulls!

And if you don't mind I'll field judge the first bull (center)

G1 12
G2 14
G3 10
G4 17
G5 8
Mass 26
Main 44
-----------
Tot R 131
--------------
X2 262
-------------
Spread 35
------------

Total 262 + 35 = 297"

How'd I do?

I hope you stick the bigger bull....an prove all these guys dead wrong. That pig is all day 350 plus. If hes not, ill kiss everyone of these low ballers ars's!
 
Adding two more views of the BIG boy... One hell of a bull.

Thanks for the comments...

320... Hahaha!

There are several over that!

That last bull is a shooter anywhere in any state! Esp, with a bow! He is all of 370 and I would bet he is closer to 390 than 370!!!

320...... Sheesh!!

Hope you get him!
 
That last bull will def have some significant ground shrinkage...not an inch over 320. (just keep him a secret, he'll be the biggest 320 bull you'll see.) :)


Traditional >>>------->
 
bulls in pic 1 and 2 are the same bull.

pics 3, 4 and background of pic 5 are same bull.

nice bulls.

350ish for bull 1
360ish for bull 2

You would have to be an Idiot to call someone else an Idiot for scoring a PICTURE of a bull!!! Easily a 370??? How'd you do in the "guess the score challenge"???
 
LAST EDITED ON Aug-14-12 AT 02:05PM (MST)[p]What some guys are missing is the first 4 or 5 post where made when there was no picture posted. It came up later. Those bulls will be over the fence on the cwmu friday night or in the dark saturday morning !
 
Here's my guess, I hope he goes down so we can get a tape on him.
He is a sweet bull!!!

Total - 370 Gross
 
I would have to say that bull in the 4th pic is 365-370 his time length is great and his main berms could be a little longer but he's a nice bull!!! Throw an extra breathing he in that guy haha

Pretty sure pic 1, 2, and 3 are all different bulls.

Pic 4 and 5 are the same bull.
 
That's not true about the 320 deal in fish lake I've seen some pretty respectable bulls in that unit, and this is a good year for the bulls I have been watching some HOGGS!!!!!!
 
Idiot was the wrong thing to say. Got a little excited from seeing that rack. I still think he is a 370 bull. Most peeps can usually tell the difference between a 320 and a 370 bull.
 
Here's my take, Look at some of the dates on the pics guys.. some of those bulls aren't finished.

First bull (top picture) is going to go 310 plus or minus IMO

The other bull I don't have a good enough look to make a fair guess.

The last bull is a stroker... Im going to put him a 365ish

I don't post here often but when i saw all the low scores on your trail cam pics, i had to say something. The big bull in the 4th and 5th pic is the biggest one. I score him at around 380. The bull in the first pic will go around 350. I have hunted elk for years on public, private, and reservations. in my experience, animals always look smaller in trail cam pics then in real life. That being said, you could easily have a 360 and 390 bull in those pics. Whack that pig with the huge back end and call it a day!!!
 
Its a good looking bull, I would not put him near 380, probably around 320-330, Has really good top end. Too compact, points are too close together which would give him a really short beam, probably 45 inch beams. Top end is awesome, but the bottom end is short. Mass is not there either. If this bull makes it over 330 I would be shocked.
 
360? 380? 390??? What are you all smoking? Not an inch over 320 on any of em! Pisscutters :)
Once the velvet comes off you'll see how small they are...Plus none of those bulls will get the 5th mass measurement because of their short main beams!:-0


Traditional >>>------->
 
LMA0...They never go over 320!.... all of us should know that by now.

For real though, that bull is sweeeeet. I don't think the length is there in the main beams, but who cares. What a nice bull. Shoot the beast so we can all find out. My guess would be a 360-370 bull.

I agree. Looks to have slightly better 3rds, at least on one side. Im looking at a 393 bull in my office with one beam that is 48 and the other 53 with 27" of mass per side. It is very possible to have a 380 bull with short beams and average mass. just sayin
 
HaHa...
This is some good reading.... "not a bull over 320"?
Come on guys! Keep it up...
I've never seen a bull over 320 on the Fishlake.... ;-)

Hey, I won every score challenge but since I'm above all you little people I elected not to post my score. LMAO
(actually I suck at scoring a 1-D photo just like most guys)

I do think the best bull is well over 350". Only my opinion so don't spank too hard.

There is NO WAY those are Fishlake bulls, because there are NO ELK on Fishlake.

+1 on FLEH....move along, nothing to see on Fishlake. Go to Monroe or something....

Pred *evil grin*
 
Hope someone get that little 320 class bull. Then we can see what he scores. I think he will be a lot close to 365 then 320.
IMO

LAST EDITED ON Sep-12-12 AT 10:55PM (MST)[p]This looks like one of them. Killed on the Cwmu just below where the other pictures where taken. I didn't ask if I can post them, but the mossback have them tagged already.

Looks like the top bull to me.
 
I don't think that is one of the bulls in the pics. I just can't match up any specific characteristics. I may be wrong, but looks like a different bull to me.
 
They are sitting way behind the bull. Jesse is very good at making them look really big. I was thinking the G2 and the G1 looked about right and the tip of the royal.
 
Ok...I am pretty sure this is the bull in the trail camera pictures! It went 388!

All you guys that said 320.....sure glad I don't hunt with you! :)

That's a fine 320 bull for sure.

I was lucky enough to take this bull during the rifle hunt. The tag came to me on very short notice. Thanks to lumpy, 2lumpy and Muley_73 for giving me the grand tour of the FishLake unit. We had a great hunt and meet some great people like big6.
