Their horns, you perverts!

Anybody out there who has an elk or three hanging on their wall could do me a real favor. Take a ruler and make one simple measure. Measure the width/spread between the respective brow tines at about the midpoint of the two tines. Post that measurement, and specifics about how big the bull was - scores, etc. I would really appreciate it.

I'm trying to size up a bull's rubs from last year. FYI, the one good bull I've got, a 265 net scoring 6 by 6 has a measure of 7" between brow tines at their midpoint.

I get some idea by how high the rubs are on the pine trees or aspens-- on the bigger trees of course-- because it's harder to judge on the smaller trees as they will tend to bend when the bulls are rubbing their antlers.

IMO trying to judge a bulls rack size from rubs is like pissing in the wind....in the dark...with you hands tied...standing on your head.

dirt2 i just picked up my bull from oct 2001 . he is a 5x5 and measures 6 1/2 midway of browtines

I have come across rubs 8' and higher, must be the spike bulls and rag horns standing on there hind feet pissing in the wind, trying to breed cows at the same time while stripping bark from trees, LOL

Robinhood. I remember a pic that you posted a while back of a tree that was shredded higher than your brother could reach. That small spike sure has a high pressure pumper. Maybe we can tie that bull to your house and he can pressure wash your deck!!!!!

Heh, yes indeed. I cant believe I let that one slip.

Dirt2---I just measured 14 different racks, they'd score from 220-318, all 5's and 6's. There spreads were from 5" to 9-1/2" at your desired spot. elknut1
