Great looking animals guys. Fair lump of a critter too by the looks

Orion, we don't have them here, so I'm not familiar with the term "Rag Horn".

What does it mean ??

Good hunting to you all.
May the wind be your friend, and may your arrows fly true,
Most of all, may the appreciation and the gratitude of what we do keep us humble......

I've taken four with my recurve. The largest is the 7x8 in my avatar that gross scored 336. The bow used was a Black Widow PSA recurve that pulled 58#@ 27". The arrow was a 250 Heritage with a 100 grain insert and a Black Diamond Eskimo. Total arrow weight was 605 grains from memory. (Modified at the OP request)

ALex.  A rag horn is just a young bull, usually a smaller five-point or less, but more than a spike.
