That was awesome phool. What a way to wrap up a special hunt and to find the sheds that I bet you dreamed of finding on many a night. Congradulations and way to stick with your plans.

Way to wrap a ribbon around this story and call it done!  Very impressive finish.  Your persistence is to be commended.

So are you going to have them attached to the mount? Or displayed separately....big decisions

M_ray is being very conservative on his estimate of "the big one".  I stared at it from 20 yards for about 45 minutes and it was approximately 57-60" wide.  Its palms were 13-14" wide and long.  It had at least 7 points per side and multiple brows.  The limiting factor on the bull was that he lacked lots of points.  I think we counted about 8 on each side was all.  He was all palms.  At minimum it was a 170's bull.  Going off memory...

Conservative score:  55+12+12+30+30+8+8+7+7=169
High end score:        60+14+14+36+36+8+8+10+10=196

Average/Probable score:  (169+196)/2=184"

VERY happy for you!!!!!

As for the shed, here is my conservative guess assuming each side is alike.  Maybe Bone or someone else can chime in on their guess.

47+25+28+9+9+7+7+7+9=148"

I put it as a 130 bull.  His spread is a little short by th elooks of the shortness of the beam, and though he gets credit for that brow forking out far forward, he is a little short on top where it dips.  Basically the same measurements as Pope except for the spread.  I'm guessing 40 or under......a 130 bull

Sweet!  Glad you found them!!!!

Very special way to end this hunt.  Congratulations on picking those sheds up.

Congrats...mount them on the cape...as you knew what you and why you were shooting him.

 I know they are laid out but this should give a decent idea Bone. I don't much care about the score at this point, officially it goes down as zero anyway but it will be a conversation piece at home. Unlike Pope and Ridgerunner, I wont have any issue getting it in the house, removable headgear and all

 But I shot him with archery gear Sky
