Any tips on judging these? A buddy has a couple on his lease he invited me to and was asking, but I don’t have a clue. I told him if it looked good to him let it rip.

Mass and length make him a trophy. It usually takes 3+ curls to get 20 inches but that's not a rule..
Their ear is about 4.5 inches long. Use that as a gauge to determine approx. length. Males turn black with age..

Decide if you want length or curls , they don’t necessarily go together. The longest one we have shot was a hair over 25”. It didn’t have the most curls by a long shot. We have shot several 20” that were 4 curls and a few 22-23” that had below 4 curls. The dark
Color is a combination of dominance, age, time of year and genetics.
