Get on boone and crocketts website, there are several scorers in Washington. The website and find an offical measurer near you. Simple as that! [/quoteI 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 .

Just bring it by when the sportsmen show starts I'm assuming and the comp is at a certain time?
so i got my tooth age report for this bear.. 8 years old. young for a bear that big?? the taxidermist guessed he wasnt any older than 7 or 8 because his teeth were so nice. but he said that is decently young for a 450lb 20 inch skull bear...

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.

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!
