RE: field judging elk
-If all the points are at least 12" long on a 6x6 bull you are looking at a 300+ inch elk. (on average)
-Bulls are typically weak on either their third or fifth point. One small or missing point will kill a score.
-Lengthaddsway morepoints than more. The b&c scoring system sometimes dosen't do justice for heavy horn bulls.
For me it isa lotharder to score a bullin the field than ona wall or in a picture. Especially ifI amthe one pulling the trigger or releasingthe arrow. It is easy to get caught up in the moment. To me a trophy is in the eye of the beholder and who cares what some scoreing system says. Hope this helps.
