What are some good rules of thumb for judging elk in the field? I'm hunting the Sargents and was told several times to make sure I don't shoot a small bull thinking he's bigger. Basically hold out for a 300"class to maybe a 320" or even a 340"class. I know width is important and length of main beams, but are there ways of judging lengths, and widths, etc? I've seen on a Brown Bear web site, they say to count the number on head lengths in order to give you some idea of size. Is there some way like that to judge for elk? I'm hunting with a guide but want to know for myself.He told me alot of guys kill-out the first morning or day, but usually end up with less than a 300" class bull, alot of 260's, etc. I don't want to waste a great tag like this.
Thanks Again for all your help.
