RE: Field judging Elk
I look for the fork/fishtail behind the "Royal/Dager/Sword/G4" point that makes it a 6 point. I look for "Ivory" thats where the point curl upwards and go form the dark brown color of the rest of beam to white. More Ivory = longer points.I look how far back on the torso does the rack go. Now, after saying all that I second the point made that when a trophy steps out you don't have to judge you just know.
