Pretty long tines, very few deductions, and what looks like pretty long beams. And lots of points so yeah it's probably pretty close.

More like 380  :chuckle:

It has smaller thirds but the main beams an width like they could add up fast

After 350 seems like they all look alike anyhow.... big !

All day long
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Wow, I suck at field judging.  :sry:

But if that's 385", I may have a shot at 400" this fall.

Most people, myself included couldn't confidently tell the difference between a 385 bull and a 400 bull.
With that said, like what was said before. Long main beams and extra points.

The skull is making the rack look small.  If that is a huge old bull with an enormous skull, then I can see him in the 380s.   :dunno:

You just need a dude with long skinny arms to hold it and it'd be 400+

I see it. I bet if you put it on a live animal for reference it would be more obvious.  :tup:

That bull has good tine length, long main beams and all sorts of extra points up top. With all that added together, it's not a problem to see 385".  He's like a 9x9 or something.
