It's never a for sure thing but a educated guess. I agree bugle has nothing to do with size of bull but rather the level of intensity that particular bull is at the particular moment

This bull had big hooves but still a bit pointy and he ducked under thick stuff a WT doe would have had to squeeze through: )
My Dad shot a 335” bull this year and when he was coming in I figured he was a 2.5 yr old raghorn at best
