Lets talk elk antlers for a second
 
I have always been under the impression that a 6x6 bull was considered a "Royal"

and a 7x7 was a "Monarch"

So what are 5x5's and 8x8's?

never heard of such a thing.

We refer to bulls as herd bulls, raghorns, sattelite bulls, spikes, etc

It probably comes from the whacky names people use to give the individual points like royal, eyeguard, guard,dagger point, brow tine etc etc.

Serious people refer to individual points as G1 through G7 etc that way everyone knows what you're talking about.

Actually a Monarch is an 8x8, an Imperial is a 7x7, and a Royal is a 6x6. as for anything smaller im not sure if they have a name.

According to who? I'm not disputing it I just was wondering how these names came about. I searched the Boone & crocket website as well as the RMEF's. I can't find anything that references this nomenclature.

I'm wondering if it isn't a marketing ploy. I think i've seen these names used on advertisements for High fence operations.

Must be a Canadian thing

Then what do you call a 5x6 or a 6x7?

Not sure how the names came about its just what ive picked up over the years as for being used as a marketing ploy im not sure cause i dont see any advertisements for high fence hunts cause in Alberta they are outlawed, but im sure the names are used in advertisements just to catch the eye of a potential wannabe hunter.
