Which one would you shoot?

[Hilltop]

I found this picture from another sight- I believe it is 5+ years old but I love it. Which one of these guys would you shoot?



My favorite is the second from the right....I love the way huge thirds look.

Also, for those of you seasoned at judging elk, what do you think that one would score? Obviously a tough angle but I'm guessing him to be around 360".

Is yes a good answer? Left lower center or far right left one would be my top two

2nd from the bottom

 

[AKaviator]

second from the bottom too...wouldn't it be fun to have to make that decision!

 

[ElkTrout]

I wish I had such a problem to have to deal with! Second from the bottom would be my choice

 

[sodaksooner]

he was the one I would pick....

Your not kidding.... I would have a difficult time processing what was in front of me for sure.

I would probably shoot myself in the foot!! Lower left also, that is a cool picture!

 

[OregonJim]

WOW..... presently only one (smallest) is giving a decent shot.
4 are looking back so I better decide quick...........

I agree with the one most everyone is picking at first glance but he looks smaller bodied than the closest.
Not the winner on length but I feel like I'm seeing double when looking at points!
Second from the right and I won't be second guessing.
Top left and bottom right better not be the first to turn sideways either.

What do I know though?
(My wife would say pick the fattest)

Let me shoot one with big thirds first and then I'll take bids for the remaining bulls...lol. This was actually an old picture on another forum from 2009. I was looking up different field judging methods that people use and found this pic. I have a blue chip elk permit in Wyoming this year so I'm stuffing my mind with images of bulls I should and shouldn't harvest opening morning.

2nd from the bottom....neck shot!

 

[In God We Trust]

That is an incredible picture. That is like the dirty dozen photo of all the big mulies.

 

[Drhorsepower]

I will go the one closest to camera or the one right behind him.

 

[marcusvdk]

Any of them lol

 

[Winchester]

2nd from the bottom (left lower center). Do you think was taken in Yellowstone or a similar "Park" somewhere? Wonderful picture!!

 

[SansSouci]

Hilltop,

Thanks for posting that pic. BTW, I'm sure that the camera's location function was disabled before the photo was taken.

I hope to be looking over similar bulls in less than one month.

For some reason, I have a sentimental association of majestic, regal elk to the iconic image of the untamed American west and the rugged men who tamed it. While rugged and fearless men might have tame the American west, they never were able to come close to taming majestic, regal Rocky Mountain elk. They are the rulers of the Rockies.

I like the only one standing straight to us, what a pic

 

[crzy_cntryby]

The one I could get closest to!
