Age of my Dads Bull

I've heard the biologist say, most elk peak between 7-10 yrs. but that huge bull my uncle shot a few years ago was aged at around 11 yrs. and he may have scored 450 gross if not for (4) broken tines. He still grossed around 430 with the broken stuff. I think he was at his prime at that age.

Did you ever post a picture of your Uncles Bull?? Did I miss it, I'd like to see it again if I did.

I think we all like to see some pictures of that bull Ridgetop. I'll even ask nicely...please.

Do you have a score on that bull DeadI? I would guess he was nearing his peak...definately not on the way down yet.

Ridge lets see a pic of that bull.

As for my dads. I roughed him at 315-320. He looks alot biger than that to me, but ohwell. Course I don't really know what the crap I am doing either when it comes to taping them out.

Who cares, he is awsome looking on the wall with all of his mass.

DeadI, I guess your dads bull at about 320-330 range but hard to tell with a picture. Someday I can get down to St. George and get a pic. of my uncles big bull. It did hang in the Ace hardware store in Cedar City in 2005.

Jared, I'm coming to score him. Really I am. I will try and get over there this weekend. I am sure that you are pretty close.
