Here's a couple of pix of a good bull taken in NM 16D. My buddy and his brother in law took this bull on opening day.
Good Job

Nice Bull. My guess would be around 315 - 320.

I'd say 320 to 330, the rest of his points make up for that fifth. Awsome looking bull.

Nice bull, nothing wrong with that but I would be surprised if it netted over 300. Short beams and weak to average mass. I know I wouldnt pass it up if I had a pin on his shoulder at 20 yards.

Nice bull, looks like you got him close to the bedroom. What time of day? BTW, gnarly picture, you could have at least pulled the arrow out of him. JMO

I told my buddy that it would gross about 320.
The reason one arrow is still in him is because they couldn't pull it out. It was lodged in a bone. (I asked the same thing)
The blood that you see behind the arrow was the first shot.
I'll still give Kudos to these young fellers. First time Elk hunting with a bow.
Mammoth and I will be up there during the second archery hunt. Hopefully we can score.

Great bull with a bow...I'd pull on him. I hope to get his father in unit 15 next week. I guess he'd score 315ish. Congrats to the shooter!!!

Nice bull. I'd guess somewhere around 320-325. Don't like seeing animals with arrows sticking out of them. In the future, consider taking photos w/out arrows, blood, etc. These animals deserve a great deal of respect!!

Thats a friggn awesome bull, and I LOVE that the arrow is sticking oug of him... It make's the picture look authentic and less "posed"...
I hope to post a picture of my bull in a couple weeks... will be sure to leave the arrow in for some of you whiners... It's fetching hunting, what do you think they died of natural causes???
How bout next time you bath/blow dry em before you take pictures.

Thanks....my brother in law (bottom pic) was a little nervous on his second shot and shot a little behind (where all the blood is) when we tracked the bull he went inbetween to rock slides with a little patch of aspens in the middle (in other words a hell hole, the sun didn't hit us until about 10:00/10:30 in the morning). He had to put a few more shots than wanted to put him down. But hek I went dry on my first bow hunt in the same area last year. So I do have to say him and I are hooked on bow hunting everything know.

WOW unreal, great great bull! Fantastic!
Have to ask, looks like a great first shot then when they came upon it stuck another arrow in to be sure, arrow still in but no blood so I am guessing bull was down it was only assurance?

Dear "Bambistew"
Real hunters need to "learn" how to pose their success. You speak from a different string than I do. No whining here. There is such a thing as ethics, and that is different than morals or personal beliefs. True hunters display ethics, you know the rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession. I would hinder from stating I belong to a profession, as I do not get paid for what I do. Follow the pack dude!
Good luck on the elk you propose you will post shortly. Do us all a big favor, and don't post here with arrows protruding out. Besides, isn't a clean double lung with good pass through better?

Whachnpack,
are you telling me that i am not a real hunter because we couldn't pull the stinkin arrow out when we took pictures? I would rather take pictures with arrows in my animals than break a carbon arrow in it and ruin any meat. I don't need to follow any pack. I would be careful who you call "real hunters". I don't pack my animal on the back of my truck and parade around town, the pictures shown do not degrade the animal in any way, we are not riding the animal,etc... so what "true hunting" ethics are you talking about??

LAST EDITED ON Oct-28-04 AT 11:14AM (MST)[p]You can read into my reply however you want, dude. The point is, pictures without arrows (blood is ok). I know they get shot, and they die. I don't know how to explain the culture I'm trying to explain here anymore than that. I don't think anything of your hunting skills. I don't know you, and only you can describe that. I don't pack animals on the back of my truck. It is down and out for me. The picture speaks a thousand words, DUDE!!
