How Many 300+ Inch Bulls Have You Killed

[Hnthrdr]

My first bull from this year 289" and lab aged at 9.5 years old.

Great fronts and mass carried through, I think sometimes older bulls either don’t have the genes or they regress and put more antler up front

3 for me. I’m not much of an elk hunter though.

Great thread.

Zero for me, one bull a 5x5 at 286 with a broken left beam tip. Unbroken he looks to have been a 5x6 having lost about 10 inches.

Just one. Never put a tape on it.

Out of the dozens I've killed, only one. Several in the 285+ range. I've called in a couple bulls over 300 for friends that got killed.

Last year I killed a bull, only to have a large 300ish 6x6 walk out and stand there for 10 minutes...

I used to see a lot of 300+ bulls in the 60s and early 70s but I haven't seen anything close for at least 12-15 years. They just don't live that long.

My hunting partner and I killed 3 in 2021. Neither of us have killed any others, so that was a damn good year.

So this area has greay genetically, I think he just shrunk and developed mass as a senior citizen. You can tell in the picture buy the mass was incredible, baseball bat diameter throughout the whole rack.

Interesting so far

I thought the zero 300+ inch bulls was going to closer to 80 percent, and 1 bull would be around 10 percent.

I’ve killed 10 plus 300 inch bulls. My biggest officially scores 368” gross 362” net. Also killed a 330” class 5 point which is a really neat bull I think. I think 300” is a heck of a bull especially in Colorado. I doubt I can top 362.

We're many of your 300+ on draw units or OTC? If OTC.... You should write a book! Haha

 

[j_volt]

I have shot one bull over 300 and it was a draw hunt.

I am glad to hear realistic comments. It drives me crazy when people act like a 300 inch bull is around every corner. Just remember, if the bull is 300" on Instagram, he is 275" on the tape measure.

 

[Dos Perros]

I see legit 300" bulls most every year I've been elk hunting. Getting them killed is a whole other thing.

 

[teamsprock]

I have 1 archery kill and it was a 368” bull. I have killed 8-10 bulls with a rifle, they are all under 300”. I agree, the 300” mark is way harder to hit than people think.

My archery bull was a draw tag, all my rifle bulls are general unit.

 

[wytx]

2 I think, one for sure. Both in general areas but on private land. This was a wounded bull.

 

[S.Clancy]

I've killed 4. One is really close, a big 5x5, right at the 300" mark. The others are all 315-320"+.

3 in the last 4 years. I'm on a heater.

 

[Greenhorn]

I've taken 21 that are over 300", 16 are over 330" and 4 over 370"

Not one. My biggest is 270 and I killed him when I was 14 with my bow and hunting by myself. Killed lots of cows and rag horns. I’m just not very picky. When I killed that one at 14 my dad had to come look for me because I wasn’t at the truck at the right time. He was pissed until I told him I shot a bull. That was 1991. What’s even crazier is that I was shooting 75 lbs and with fingers.
