Antler size thread

[AustinL911]

Being new to elk hunting, I'm still learning how to judge antler size on the hoof. Can we get this thread going with pics of your bulls with what they scored? Anything from spikes to 400"+ would be helpful.

Let's get her going.

I'll contribute my pic when I get back from CO early November. ( )

A 361" early November CO bull from 2012. Have some rag horns as well but never measured any of them and doubt I've even got pictures. I need to get better at this.

Pictures can be very deceiving so hard to tell sometimes, but this first one is a big bull. I've been chasing this bull off and on since 2013. This picture was taken Sep 9, 2015....despite the wrong date code on my camera. I tried to get my daughter on him this year because he's still in there. Tough old bull. Hard to tell the score.

2nd is a measured 380". The mass doesn't show up at all on that bull in that pic.

Ross, congrats to you, you have killed some nice bulls!

Here's a few.

One my wife shot a few years back, 280.

Her first one a few years prior to that, 320.

I shot this bull the day before my wife got hers, 330.

This one was just shy of 310:

Another in that 300 range:

Montana general bull a while back, mid 320's:

Arizona bull I shot on a late tag...mid 350's as is, probably 370 before it busted up.

General Montana bull my Dad shot, 290:

Glassed this one up and helped a complete stranger kill it, in the breaks in Montana, I'm guessing 320+:

Another look of the same bull with me in the picture, pretty sure it would make 320:

This one only scored in the low 330's, but was an old bull with a ton of character and mass...couldn't pass him up:

Helped a good friend with this one, 330 on the button:

My personal best bull, 370 and change gross, 358 5/8 net.

Another look:

Here's a 295 bull [ I can stiff arm along with the best of them too ]

Here’s my New Mexico 360 last season.
I’m still trying to learn how to judge. I feel like when you see a 300+ you know it right then. Gets a lot tougher the higher they go.

A lot of nice bulls there, all I see is raghorns, but I'm fine with that, I'm just glad to see a legal bull, much less a 350. I've seen a pair of 350's, many moons ago, the wind shifted and they thundered off.

~270s - tried to give a couple angles without any of the photo wizardry.
