Elk Down

My friend took this great bull this am, 9/14/12. Its his biggest bull to date and he's thrilled to harvest a bull this size. So what do you all think he scores??

COngrats, looks like you are back killing some good bulls again this year. Thats a hard one to judge, fronts look pretty good minus the 3rd's. Good mass, good main beem length. I will guess 340ish with very little confidence. COngrats to your friend on a great looking bull.

Maybe somewhere around 360". Love the devil points and ivory tips on that rack.

Congrats on a beautiful bull.

Thanks guys. He killed a bull last year that was 343. This bull is bigger then that let me give u guys a few hints. The beams on this bull are 52 and 51. 20 on his g2s. 19 on his 4s and 18 on his g1s. So lets hear so more guesses onvthis bull.

Sounds like you have it figured out. Is there a prize for the correct answer! I'm sure everyone is hanging in suspense.

 

[Camper_A1]

Nice bull, I'm going with 364. Tell you friend congrats.

 

[utehunter]

Thanks everyone. I will put a tight tape on him this afternoon and let u all know what he tapes out too.

Congrats on a great bull with character!!!

 

[antlerrick]

With those measurements I would think he would be pushing 370..
probably a little less..
Great looking bull!

 

[GBTG]

Nice bull!

 

[huntin50]

365 to 370 gross. Congrats.

 

[2f350s]

That is a 370 1/8 inch bull. Congrats to your friend.

Mid 370's. Great looking rack.

That is a 348 bull maybe. I say no way on a 370. I think someone is measuring wrong. Great bull though. I would definitely shoot it. Great job!

 

[DUKFVR]

CONGRATS on a Great Bull!

 

[muleymaniac]

at least 375

 

[Little2Feather]

Based on the measurments you provided and my own calculations, I get 345. Hard to say though, I am just estimating. He is a good bull, though I think they let him walk down in Hill Creek!

He is bigger then 348. And this is a Colorado bull not Utah. Southern Ute elk not northern ute. But like I said he killed a 343 bull last year and this elk is bigger by more the 20 inches.

Hill Creek or Southern Colorado - that's a good bull anywhere! Love the devil tines and the mass. My guess would be around 357, but it sounds like you are saying 363 - I can buy that - though at first glance, I was thinking 330 range. It is pretty easy to be deceived by photographs. If you can, post up the score, I would like to know. - THANKS!


HOOK 'EM!

Must be nice shooting them with a rifle in the rut while the rest of us are out with our bows...

 

[elkassassin]

Is that a September Rifle Bull?

It is alright!!!

 

[Little2Feather]

So cuz - what's the score? I'll bet the tape measures they sell down there stretch a little further than ours up here!

 

[Coloradoboy]

If we started shooting bulls in sept. with our rifles they'd have to start calling it utah..

 

[coloarcher]

No doubt! I had a 320ish bull at 40 yards this morning. He just wouldn't turn broadside. A rifle would have made quick work of the deal.

That sure is a nice bull. My gut was telling me 350-360. Congrats to the hunter!
