I dont know I didn't even know how to score very well that's why I was at a friends house who knows how to score so I could get it right. I am just going by what he said was the standard. maybe someone else out there could tell us. :hello:

I have heard standard for inside measurement of a set of elk sheds is 40" as well.  And back to the question, whats the score?
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

whats the score without a spread credit??
big bulls i've seen get a 42-45" spread credit.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

 Well this was fun to hear what you guys thought and thanks for all that played sorry I didn't tell you sooner I was trying to give everyone a chance to see it and play along ... but it's been long enough and we have a winner! I will say you are all pretty darn close cause some of you would have been right in there had this been on a skull and able to credit 48" for the spread credit and some of you were right in there based on a net score with deductions But the rest were right on with the gross score based on the 40" credit and a gross score was what I asked for first so ................................................. :rolleyes:


P.S I gotta eat dinner will post the score right after I'm done!

Cograts to  8)  Boneaddict 8) you nailed it right on the head ... well within 5/8 anyway!



Stats:

349 5/8 gross -with 40" drop spread credit

15 5/8 deducts

334 net

357 pushing 360
as it would be naturally on the animal with a 48" spread credit

Like I said originally I am more on the side with gross scores I am a believer that if the animal grows it, breaks it, bends it or loses it  ...it is what it is you and the animal should get the credit for it! so he is a solid 350 class bull that I hope is still roaming around out there for somebody!
