This may sound crazy to some, but it seems to me that more often than not people are overscorin' big bulls like crazy these days. I mean I can remeber 10 years ago or so a 400+ bull was pretty much unheard of, and if you told someone you saw a bull you thought was that big you'd probly be laughed at. Back then any time someone saw an excellent bull and had no idea what he'd score the average guess was 350-380 max. Well nowadays if you see a monster bull it's always "he's atleast 380 prolly pushin 400." What's up with that? Is it because there have been alot more 400 type bulls shot in recent years and people are just badly overguessing the big bulls they see? Or are there really like 5 or six 400 type bulls running around in each unit? Ex: I had an archery bull tag in a good unit in az not one of the top units, but a good unit none-the-less. While scouting and hunting I saw probably all told 50-75 bulls. And I can honestly say that probably only one bull was pushing the 360-370 mark. Yet every person I ran into during my hunt said they had seen "two or three bulls that were 380+, and atleast one that had to be a certified 400 bull." However none of them had seen anywhere near the number of bulls I was seeing. So whats going on there? I'm not really that terrible at scoring bulls am I? I'm not really underscoring every bull by like 30 inches am I? Or did these guys just all happen to see all these monster bulls, and I didn't? Anyways i will take a step down off my soap box now guys, just wanted to throw that out there, and get your thoughts.
