I got the pic sent to me on 9/20, was told ione area (4th/5th hand info) but the similarities to the sheds say otherwise. Hope I’m wrong.

Look at the tag. Appears to be Washington tag.
ID and WA have basically the same tags fyi

Some of you are pretty darn good at estimating accurate score based on pictures so does anyone have a guess?  It sure looks like a BIG mofo to me. 

I'm not very good at guesstimating scoring once they get past a certain point and if it's a lot bigger than this my apologizes but I was thinking 400-400+ or am I way off...

It’s really hard to guess a score based off of one photo. It’s an amazing bull, not sure it will crest the 400” mark.

Solidly over 400. He's got north of 100" of tines a side, good width (40"+), solid mass (65+), and safe to say 50+ on the beams. Thats 406 just roughing it out

The full story would be great but I'd settle for seeing more pics of this monster if anyone has them.  I'm not sure that pic does that big boy justice would love to see more, especially a as he lays pic.

The mains are the one area where I just wasn’t sure. Without knowing how tall the hunter is, and it looks like he’s on a slight hill and turned a bit.

This bulls antlers are pretty similar as far as characteristics.

I wasn’t comparing the bulls for size, just antler formation. I was thinking more so lending to the genetics of the area. I didn’t elaborate very well, that was my fault!

I've seen a couple of photos of this bull.  I am certain he's over 400" gross. 
"Ione area" is what I have heard from a couple of sources.  I can't confirm since I don't actually know the guy or the full story.

Strong genetics in that area for sure. I posted this pic in a different thread but it’s worth to compare here. Trail cam pic from 2015. Ione area. Same bull. Could be but maybe not. Definitely very similar for sure.
Just one more day
