[QUOTE="sdkidaho, post: 344464, member: 19932"] That's good help - this is what I found straight away: [URL="http://bowsite.com/BOWSITE/features/articles/elk/fieldjudging/ELK-score-reference.pdf"][U]Elk Score Reference[/U][/URL] In my book, anything over 300 would be a wall hanger for a first time elk, and especially if it's the only elk the guy ever gets. I like your extra points method - classic. :D My first elk hunt was a draw permit for Grand Teton Nation Park. My dad and I had two bulls down by 7:30am one morning. We were probably 1/2 mile from the truck and lucked into a group of five or six bulls. We shot the two lead bulls and then the work started. We didn't get home until 10:30pm that night. Knee to thigh deep snow. What a great memory that hunt is. A six point bull (my dads) and a five point bull (mine). That five point was goooood eating. The six, not so much, but we weren't short on meat that year, and neither were a few other family members. [/QUOTE]
