Follow up from my post earlier in the season. Green score was 20 inches on the dot it shrunk a 16th of an inch. I had it officially scored by Russ in auburn after letting the beatles clean it and dry for 60 days. He now sits at about 243rd nationwide P&Y and tied for 12th in WA state.  :tup:

Wow really!? What kind of rifle? I will definetly enter it. How do I go about doing that? Just bring it by when the sportsmen show starts I'm assuming and the comp is at a certain time?

Would love to see a picture of the clean skull

You dont have to wait till the show. Get on boone and crocketts website, there are several scorers in Washington. The website and find an offical measurer near you. Simple as that! :tup:

I did all that and more to find someone close to me as I am in Vancouver. All have some distance to get to and time like that is hard to get with having a new born and an open deer tag :bash:

I think its the first 4 days of the shows like in Portland. Then the winners are announced the last day of the show. Last couple of years some have been ruger americans. Most of the time first 3 places get guns. Then there are a lot of other prizes for the other spots. Its just a fee to enter them into the books and the contest.

What they do is compare each animal to the current state records and that gives them a number. So your black bear will go against elk and mule deer and etc.

Jessie, black bear are fully mature around 6.5 years old. Your bear is a fully mature boar, I'm sure if you didn't harvest him he would have been real close to 480-500 lbs by the time he hit the den for winter. Don't know for sure if skull would grow too much more than that, but may have gotten bigger weight wise in years to come. That is a great bear, congradulations once again Jessie.

It's amazing when you put 2 skulls side by side and see the difference that only a couple of inches makes! I put my bear next to my buddy's bear and only 1 1/2" makes a big difference. His weighed about 100 lbs more than mine but he got his in Nov. and I got mine in Aug. Great bear Jesse. I knew you had a winner!

That's funny because I was total opposite. The taxi said looked to be old due to how worn his teeth where but after I got the tooth report it said he was only 4 years old.
