Real numbers are real numbers. I'd venture to bet that 90% of the people that are fortunate to get an animal that actually qualifies, have the animal measured. And some of the few that don't the paperwork in, are often just butt-hurt that the real numbers aren't the same as they advertised. Just what I've seen over the years.
Pre marriage, pre kid, pre home ownership, pre beard. Life used to be so easy
That's a cool one
He never specified 300 net or gross. What were the gross scores of the two bulls you posted up?
The few times I've shaved in the last 10 years, I'm honestly surprised at how young I look... still not worth shaving on a regular basis.
I agree with all this. I would bet money that the vast majority of hunters likely quote gross score, so when he asks about what a “300 inch bull” looks like, I assume he is asking for 300 gross.
can’t afford to shave those pesky net points off my scores man!
i'd have to dig the score sheet out (i looked on FWP site to get the net), but I think they were low 330s for mine and high 280s for my son's. Sent the score sheets in and both of the bulls were picked for cover photos for the P&Y magazine. The one of mine in the pic was paired up with a 380 gross 371 net bull when I shot it. I didn't have a shot at the bigger one that day, but was along with a good friend later that November when he rifled it. I had 2 antlers from that bigger one, made a hanging chandelier for a wedding gift for him with them. Back in the day when the elk hunting was really really good.
Your son will likely be saying the same thing about his bull when he's your age.
Right behind the shoulder.Nice bull!! Where’d you get him?
Love it!
