TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted June 28, 2005 On Saturday I went up to one of TAM and I's spots in unit 23 to change the memory card on my digital. As I was sitting there opening the camera I heard some twigs snap behind me and turned around to see a huge rack disappear over the hill. While checking the pictures I was happy to see we had several pictures of this monster. I just emailed some pictures to Amanda and I'm curious to see what all of you think he will score now and what you think he will score when he is done. I will take a stab and say he will become a 380" bull. What do you all think? By the way, TAM and I are auctioning the gps coordinates off starting at $1500.00. j/k.

BASS Report post Posted June 28, 2005 How exciting! Any one who put in up aroung Blue Ridge should have a very good hunt. I can't remember what unit that is in, but over the weekend I saw two or three bulls that would score around 350, and those are just the ones I saw in the middle of the road. I tried to put my camera up in the area, but after hiking for about an hour, I thought I had found a good secluded spot. As I was putting it up, I heard "What is that?" I turned around, and saw a family on bikes. I'll now do a shout out to the Wilson Family, you scared the heck out of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted June 28, 2005 I'm trying to place the picture as an attachment right now but it keeps saying it is too large. Anyone have any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted June 28, 2005 This bulls eyeguards and 4th's are great. Lets hear all of your predictions on what his score will be when he is hard horned. My guess is 380. These pictures are from a digital camera Coues7 made me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted June 28, 2005 I too would guess very high 300s, 380 sounds about right for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGAINES Report post Posted June 28, 2005 Great bull who cares what it would score I wouldn't hesitate to shoot. Is that salt on the ground below him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAM Report post Posted June 28, 2005 Yep it's salt. We usually use salt pellets and powdered deer cocaine. You can't see it very well in the pic's but right in the middle of the salt pile is a purple colored rasberry flavored salt block. The elk really seem to like it while the deer seem to prefer regular salt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

.270 Report post Posted June 28, 2005 i don't think he's a 380 bull, and i ain't tryin' to dis him either. that wierd turd lookin' deal on the left antler is an odd lookin' mess for sure. he has a real short 3rd on that side as result of it. it's a great bull. has a lot o' character. the forked 4th on the left horn is cool. i'm guessing he's a 330-340 bull, before deductions. sure are some good photos.
