And he looks symmetrical, I think he just doesn't have super long main beams which could drop his gross a bit.

I agree. He's a stud bull most anybody would be thrilled to notch a tag on. If you're picking out faults, I think he's got shorter main beams and he loses size on his back end. AWESOME front end. I also think he's about done growing. He won't get much bigger. His back end is definitely not going to catch up. I'd shoot that bull on the first day anywhere in this state and most any other state.

I'd say pushing 340 to 350. His 5 and 6 are not that impressive yet but his 1, 2, 3 & 4 are nice.

But he's a shooter either way. :tup:
This is him from last year. I think his 5 and 6 will be bigger than last year. He still has a few good weeks to grow.

As he is now he's 340+ I honestly don't think his 5ths and sixes will grow much more.  If they filled out like the rest I'd say 370 easy!  Needs one more year.  Awesome genetics

Stud bull! Look at those thirds. He's easily over 360"!
Based on what?

I habe a love/ hate opinion on this type of thread.  This bull is a dream bull and I might be way off but those throwing out scores should have done rhyme or reason for doing such.  BTW Jackalope, I agree 100%. Buckandbull what are your thoughts?

Its hard to compare measurements when you've held a 400 bull. No comparisons. :chuckle:

For the area of the state I hunt this is a huge bull. I agree it's hard to throw out a score. But it's fun to see what people think. I think he is a 360 plus bull. It will be fun to see how much he grows the next few weeks.
