Not sure the best way to post the pic.

Hard to tell with a 100 x 80 thumbnail size picture ;) You may want to fix that haha!

[wolfpack]

Not sure how to make it bigger but will work on it.

Can't say the picture is to small.

[Darksith]

just look at the brow tines, if you have a magnifying glass

[NaStY]

Ya like what was said. Can see a bull but counting the points is another thing.

Email them to me and I will post them......

here it is I think with another 2 months to grow chances of it making 6 are good

I would say a 5 forsure, maybe squeak out a 6. Definite bow material... specially for a January 17th bull in velvet!

I just set up my new trail cam for the first time last night and almost forgot to set the time and date. :)

That bull could definatley be a 6-spike soon...not a big one though

If he was a 5 in 2008, I would hope he may be a "Cracker" 6 point in 2011! :wink:

So not to hijack the thread but would you say its around half point growth right now? I seen three bulls while i was quadding yesterday all heavy and wide in appearence, one was a tall 4 point in velvet and the others were 3 points not quite as big? I was just told it's kind of a guessing game but half point growth would be around this time of year?

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I've had this camera out for two weeks and have had 6 different bulls come by but this was the biggest. Region 8 bulls.

how often do you check your cams?

[Darksith]

don't they need to have 2 brow tines generally to make 6? I only see 1, I would say 5 spiker, but Im still learning about the elk so I could be way wrong


how often do you check your cams?
I check my cam about every 3 weeks. Ran into a stomper mulie that was already outside his ears, but I left my camera at home by mistake. Hopefully I'll have some picks to share in another couple weeks.

it looks like from the first picture that there are 2 brows and a third it just depends on how the tops grow off the main

[Livewire322]

the photos have 2008 on them, did you not program camera?
it looks like it will be a 5 but you might get luck and it could be a 6

[hunter1947]

This bull is going to be a 5 point if he was going to be a 6 point his antlers would have a thicker mass on top by now the picture shows small main beams on top.

[Darksith]

I thought it looked liked there were 2 brows as well, but then in the 2nd picture it clearly shows IMO anyway that there is only 1 brow. I think its simply the angle that makes it look like there are 2 in pic #1

[Mikey Rafiki]

It clearly has 2 brows on each side plus the third. The second brow points away from the first, so its hiding behind the main beams in the second pic.

[wolfpack]

The picture was taken early june this year. He has two brow tines... can see them better in other pics.
