Maybe because I grew up in Colorado and started hunting elk there, but this has also been my definition both in Colorado and here in Montana. I also remember reading that definition somewhere many years ago. I have also always interchanged the terms "Rag horn" and "Brush head."Technically these are the definitions... although the later are archaic: 1pt = spike, 2-5pts=Rag horn, 6pt = Royal, 7pt= Imperial, 8Pt = Monarch
That Picture of the bull elk junky just posted is next pictured next to the word Raghorn in the dictionary. That is a RaghornNot a rag horn
Raghorn definition- immature bull
Obvious that the out-of-staters need to apply in your country as they don't live that long in Montana.
In my circles a raghorn is a bull that is 2 1/2 years old.....or his second set of antlers.Is a raghorn by definition a young bull with small or thin antlers or is it antlers that just aren’t quite symmetrical, or is it just a bull with antlers that are not appealing to the eye of the beholder? I hear this term in so many hunting episodes. Being a Midwest whitetail guy I am just trying to understand all the lingo of western elk hunting. Hek, Not that long ago I learned what a scree field is, along with knobs benches and saddles. Some might just take all that for granted. Applied for my first western hunt and just trying to learn all I can.
Thanks in advance!
