My 10 year old just came in the kitchen while I was on this thread and wants to take a shot at it.  He pushed his finger along each point trying to estimate how many inches.  Added it all up and got 234.
 
I guess if we are elk hunting and he says "that's a 300 bull" I'd better shoot, huh...?
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I stink at guessing elk.

Whitetail are the only think I am good at.  I guess because I have seen so many of them?

WOW I Just got back in town from working thats a lot of responses guys thanks a lot the highest guess was 345 the lowest was 234.  You guys are very correct that this pic is deciving and i thank my father for the great photgraphy ;)!  I thought a huge give away would be the muzzle loader layin on his chest it looks big compared to the horns.

   Thanks for playing along ya'll this was fun i hope some of you learned that pics can be deciving so dont belive every thing you see on the internet!! lol

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Just so everybody knows the only reason Finnman knew to guess 275 is I got a PM after my post telling me that I was the closest. So Finnman had a little help from his little brother. My first guess was 272"

I was so close at 279 1/2.  Actually I was going to say 275 but I thought I'd be a  :sas: and say 279 1/2 because Pathfinder said 280 :chuckle:
