Is this a taker bull?

I’d shoot him with either of the two tags I have this year. He is below 300” for sure but not by much.
 
Is his top end going to grow a little more? I would pass him, but I have a decent elk license this year.

But by about day 5 if he was right by the road, who knows??
 
I'd ask what he compares to, to either previous information on the quality in that unit, and or what else you may or may not be seeing.
 
I got him at 285ish as is, if those backs get a little longer he could hit 290. Great 3rds and good width but everything else just falls short to push him over 300.

That said I will be flinging an arrow if he showed up in front of me on either of my two tags. For one tag he is a really good bull, the other he is on the smaller side, but its a tough hunt without a lot of opportunities so you got to take advantage of them when they come especially with a bow. much smaller and I would probably let him walk.
