The Madras have never been a trophy elk area, there area too mainy roads and access for our bull to get much over 4 or 5 years old. Add to that a 30 day archery season and 10 day rifle bull season and if you find a 300 bull you better take it.
There are only a few gen lic. areas that will produce big bulls. Unless you draw a limited quota areaodds of getting a big bull is slim.
Bulls need 2 things to get big, Limited access and good feed. With 10 years of draught we are running short on both.
