[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 241273, member: 11717"] Actually, I think you will find that animals of the same species in the same regions tend to be fairly consistant in size. This prompted me to call a taxidermist and he was working on "good size bull" and confirmed it was 30". I asked if they vary much and he said, "not really, unless you get a really big one". I'm guessing a typical mature bull elk wont vay more than + or - an inch from top of shoulder to bottom of brisket. Would I recommend this technique on a 900 yd shot? Probably not, but for a 600 yd shot on a bull elk size target I think it could work. Also found out from the taxidermist that mullie bucks go about 19". [/QUOTE]
