Sounds like WASHBCBOOK is jealous. He's probably never shot anything big enough to make the WA record book.

Grossing in the lower 340s.  Of course that is from afar.  Congrats to her.  That is pretty cool she shot such a nice bull. I bet she was jacked up.  Hopefully you've been lucky enough to get one that big.  Or you're probably catching hell.

I saw the post before you removed it - thanks.  I'd suggest a 2-strike policy for dickwads like the one that posted that !@#$%^ - must be tough for him to get in high fence hunts between his GQ shoots, eh?

Thanks for removing the offending post jackelope.
During my hasty and immediate response to WASHBCBOOK's poor taste post, I forgot to congratulate bone head's girlfriend on a fantastic bull. Really to bad that his fronts were not as great as his back end, but a great bull anyway. What unit were you hunting, was it public or private, and can I draw it with my 8 Oregon points?

it was on some leased ground that i patroll during hunting season but the unit only takes maybe 2 to 3 points to draw, she had 3 when she drew it. i shot a toad up there this year and ill post pics of it soon. the taxidermist told me it scored around 312???? but people are telling me different. it was with a bow though. the friend that shot the double drop tine comes down and hunts with me every year and this is why he keeps comeing back. heres a pic, what do you think he'd go???? i'd of had him mounted but no room with her bull mounted and one other of mine, but its getting europeand

I'm gonna say around 340. That's a great looking bull, looks real balanced, appears to have decent tine length all around. Based on that pic, I would have got a shoulder mount done.

I'd say solid 340 on your bull. I cant believe 312 on you girlfreinds though. When I first looked at it I thought it would have been a good 365-370 bull if it had normal eyeguards. I took off about 5-6 inches per eyeguard and came up with 345+. Pics can be decieving though. Better have it scored, that a P@Y bull!

I would have guessed into the 330's with your GF's bulls, and yours should run into the 340's.  However, your bull may be decieving with just that side shot and may score slightly better than I am guessing
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.

I was thinking the first bull was right at 350'' gross and the second, right around 345" but real hard to tell by the picture.

Both bulls are awesome!

Congrats on to fine bulls! I think yours is quite a bit bigger than your girl friends. Yours has better first and seconds and it is equal to or better on the G-4s and it has better G-5s. It also has longer main beams by at least 12 inches on both sides and it is much heavier. I would guesstimate hers at 315 to 320 and yours at 345 to 350. Yours could easily be 355 or better depending on width. Pictures can be deceiving you should score it and let us know.

I was guessing her bull at about 320ish. Yours should go higher in the 345 range. Both nice bulls.

Don't need a official scorer to measure the bull.  Print the sheet off line and score it yourself.  What is it?

Solid 350" bull.  My partner from CO killed a 352" bull in NM with 52" mains.  This bull will top 350 net, just my guess.
