Colorado Legal Bull? Part II

[cnelk]

I recently posted a pic of a 3pt bull and asked if it was legal with a 5 inch brow tine.

Today I went and retrieved the SD card that had video clips of the bull.

So - Legal or no?

I’d say it’s over 5” but I doubt I’d be confident enough to roll the dice.

If the ear is 7", then I'd judge him not legal. After the velvet falls, he'll lose a 1/2" of what you see. I don't think he'll gain that in the time he has left to grow bone.

I would say yeah

How well do you know the local warden?

 

[DenverCountryBoy]

Too close for comfort, but I bet he'd be tender.

 

[Gapmaster]

Hard pass. Guessing at legality is never a good financial practice.

I'm not shooting. That's way too close for comfort. I'd just pick a spot a little farther right and shoot the other bull.

I think Ill shoot one of these - just to be safe

 

[Ucsdryder]

I’ve got plenty of experience with 5”. I’m confident he’s legal. Bang!

Yeah, that would show up 1 minute after I'd already shot the small one.

No lie. Chewing on grass and wandering by.

Little off subject but my buddy got an either sex elk tag in Colorado. Any restrictions he should be aware of? Are spikes legal?

 

[Speck1]

I think he would probably make it but not sure I would chance it. Looks like you have better ones there anyway.

Refer to Page 36 of the Regs for units that have antler restrictions

If it’s me I’m going to pass, but his buddy would be in trouble

Sure glad I live and hunt idaho, don't have to deal with that decision.
It looks to me like a pass. Velvet always makes them look bigger.

 

[bowhuntrben]

Yes

What side of the main beam does the measurement start from?

Thats a good point about the velvet
