ready2hunt Report post Posted April 30, 2015 seriously that bull will be a monster. I have some decent bulls on cams and none of them are even close to that right now. The larger bulls (from my experience) always have a large crown to start off with when growing. he looks to be on par. Hopefully you can put him on the ground. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Up to an inch a Day .... they grow for about 180 days and some bulls go 400", math doesnt add up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim Report post Posted April 30, 2015 180 x 2 equals 360 without a spread. Kinda adds up. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Str8Shot Report post Posted April 30, 2015 I guess all the biologists are wrong then ... From what I understand it is up to a linear inch a day measuring the main beams ( remember spread is a part of that 400" score) as each new tine splits off the bone grows under velvet at a little slower rate ... As long as they have the genetics from Mamma and Pappa, and Good nutrition they can keep growing.... I have never heard a wild life biologist dispute or challenge the up to an inch a day number and have seen in published in almost every hunting book on elk I have read since I was a kid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted April 30, 2015 180x1=180. i guess i still dont know what you mean by 1"? obviously thats not the length of the horn, or theyd be 180" long. when someone says inches, i assume they mean score, by inches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

murfys69law Report post Posted April 30, 2015 Google: How fast do antlers grow. It says right in there they can grow up to an inch a day. It explains what they mean as well. Circumference, length, all play a role in that equation. Either way...That bull in the pic a a shooter for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
