I would score it as tasty.
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3

I wouldn't sweat the score, he's a very nice bull. Don't know too many OIL hunters that would not take that bull, but it depends on the unit too I guess.

Let’s guess this out...  40” width, 8” bases (16), 7” width on his right palm, 9” on his left (16), 8 points on his right, 11 on his left, and palm length... right side ~25” and left side ~28”.  Maybe 143” gross...  Not 140" net so just below B&C.

Here's a Shiras bull I shot in 2009 that made B&C score.

Only weakness i can see when it comes to moose scoring is that his paddles arent that wide. But im definitely not a pro when it comes to judging moose.

His right paddle is about 9" and his left is about 10"-11". He has great length because of the split brows, a 9x12 that only is lacking spread.

Likely around 140" and a nice bull for that area. :twocents:
:yeah:    One paddle isn't too bad, but the other is weak.   Not book!

Oops, that 5th image had me thinking the right brow had 3 points, optical illusion I guess. So subtract one point since its likely a 8x12 and not the 9x12 I had earlier. :chuckle:
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
