300" rosey pics

[blacktailcody]

That 5 pt will go more than 175!
I shot a 5 pt this year that is around 275...300 is for sure possible!

And that goes for pope and young also. Sci drops one width but scores all totals.

So I guess that's why my wife thinks I know everything.

 Don't feel bad, a lot of hunters think those measurements are included in the score.

I'm not following you.  Are you being serious or messing with me? The score sheet is right there.

follow the boxes.  Only space to add in spread down below is spread credit which is the greatest point between the inside of the main beams but cannot exceed the longest main beam.  Also, if you print the score sheet off their Web page it prints two sheets.  One is the score sheet itself and the second is a detailed list of instructions.  Those other spread measurements are for infomation only.  Record keeping so to speak.  It's a common mistake that many make when scoring.

I got it. Don't tell my wife.

You don't get to add the length of the last point as that is factored in the main beam length. B&C ask for 3 width measurements, but the formula is very complicated and it basically just takes the inside spread of the main beam.  Also, you only get 3 girth measurements on a 5 point, 4 on a 6+.  You never get more that 4 girth measurements even if it is a 10x10.

I guarantee you that bull Forks posted is way bigger than he looks, he killed a very similar bull a couple years ago, it looked decent in pictures but in person is was unbelievable. The most massive bull I've seen, and this bull looks bigger. Its funny to see the master internet scorers try and guess the inches off a picture when you know the score from having put tape to the horns.

I'd much rather kill a massive 5 point bull like that over a spindly horned six point any day

An elk always gets 4 mass measurements regardless of number of points in the rack.

Same goes for deer

 My 2016 archery bull...not a 300" bull, not even close.  Haven't scored it yet, but if anyone can squeeze a pope and young qualifier out of it, I'd be surprised.

The 175 bull Bird Blaster is referring to is the second pic on his post.  He is not saying that about Forks' bull.  Forks' Bull is probably right around the 300".

  beat me to it.  Definitely think there was some confusion there.  The mass on Forks bull is nasty!

Not trying to put down anyone's bulls, but a 300" bull is larger than most people think.  A 300" 5 point would have to be a total freak.  I have killed two solid 5 point rosey elk and neither one of them broke 200".  The 5 point pictured is 175".  The side by side 6 points are both right at 300".

Agreed. It's also very hard to tell from a photo. You can have a photo of huge bull that doesn't do it justice. On the flip side you can use camera angles to make a average bull look huge. These photos are a good example they are the same bull and it only scores about 245".

Thank you. I was very happy with it but it's nowhere near the 300 club. Just pointing out how photos can be very deceiving. Different angles can make the same bull look totally different. Better or worse. And yes, crown tastes mighty good after killing a bull.
