 Originaly thought he was a 365-370 but was suprised when gotcha and I rough taped him on site, the. My friend came over and unofficially taped him at 395 7/8 using the widest width was 395 we entered it in the computer to find out deductions and it used the G3 measurements, 389.

Even if it was a 295 7/8 the story Was epic, from the first week OFOH terminally ill hunt to the young guys helping me call in a great bull the trip was awesome,( without wounding a monster)  but the follow up story by Gotcha was next level sportsman! Super blessed to have it and honored by great men during this trip.

Bulls a stud. Scores 395 7/8

I hope it doesn’t get ugly just because we don’t agree on the score, if it was my bull and I had a reputable guy score it I wouldn’t care what people say.  Nothing wrong w some saying it’s not a 400” bull, just like most bears posted here or Facebook aren’t 500 lbs.

I guess I'll disagree.

The guy says it's 395 and someone says no way.........   You're calling him a liar.

And it is why many people dont post pics here anymore.

It's a shame.

Absolutely beautiful bull, and a fellow sportsman went WAY out of his way to find the hunter.

Don't care what the score is, it's a great bull in any part of the country. I would be proud, and not give a hoooot what anyone said, or thought.

All cleaned up.

This is a success thread and a great story that shouldn't be tarnished by bickering over what the bull scores.

And yes there is something wrong with saying it doesn't score that or it doesn't weigh that.  That kind of stuff is exactly why people don't post pics here anymore.

Send the guy a pm if you want more information on how he came up with those numbers or who put the tape to it.

Carry on.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

I come from a family of hunters and trophy hunters.  They all knew a trophy when they saw one.  If you told em a bull scored 395 they would have no idea or care wth you were talking about.   :chuckle:

That bull is a trophy.

It amazes me that this thread was able to get the shooter and the bull reunited.  I am sure the shooter was sick to his stomach to have lost this bull and over the moon happy to have been able to get it back.

Just an awesome story no matter what the score.

Awesome bull!!!!! I have a scoring question. Would the point that goes out the side be considered a typical of nontypical. Not that it really matters because nets are for fish  :chuckle: :chuckle:
