RE: ELK, How Big is BIG to you?
i have had the chance to see many good sized bulls, depending on the length of the royal point (4th point) looking like daggers, with sweeping eye guards you have yourself a sturdy bull. ON points after seeing the great big 6X6 that my uncle took (gross 348) with 54 inch mainbeams, its hard to compare an average 6X6 to that bull, i am after the big one boys.
gross of 265 is minimum requirement for P&Y
most hunters would say that any bull over 300 is a good sized trophy.
