Default Bison draw

My friend got drawn for bison, so we are heading up to high level/rainbow lake this weekend. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to judge a good bison bull? With deer one uses the ears etc to judge, but with bison we aren't sure how to judge a really good bull. We have been looking at a lot of pictures online, so we have an idea of what a good bull will look like, but I'm sure someone knows some tricks to get a more accurate score on a bull before one shoots. Thanks in advance for any tips

Lots of snow up there. I was west of Rainbow Lake before Christmas. It was 4 feet plus on the ground. Shoot the one closest to the road!

I don't know a whole lot about buffaloes but do see the ranches through my travels. I think I've only had it on a burger but not any steaks. From what I've heard they are very lean and the thought of processing one after the shot sucks. I've have been somewhat curious to what the wood charge. Theres places in Montana that were charging $600.00. Not sure if that was for a cow or bull. If I were to pop one I would go for a nice tender veil cut.
Enjoy and let us know how it goes.
