Guess the score for a $100 Homedepot gift card!
« Reply #2 on: September 08, 2023, 12:03:40 AM »
Sorry, couldnt figure out how to make a single post with both
 Pics. Here's one more. He's a little thin... but those fronts $$$$ and the main beams go for days! I like to think I'm pretty good at field judging but this one is tough! I reckon I know around where he'll tape out, curious about y'all's thoughts! Throw out a guess and IF I kill him this year I'll send a $100 Homedepot gift card to the closest guess! 🇺🇲🍻

That’s a big boy. 360 is my guess since you asked but he’s an all day any tag shooter for me! What kind of tag do you have for him? In WA?

350 plus or minus.  Score on that bull wouldn't really matter for me but I am a sucker for unique racks and he has that in spades.....

I’m with bear hunter, that bull is catching an arrow on most any tag. I love the trash at the top! My initial thought was 357”. Now kill it so we can figure out what he is!

Going out on a limb here, but he appears to be a young bull, antlers are on the thin side, lots of trash, but I would be surprised if he made 330".

I don’t think he’s over 330’s tops. Looks like a young bull and everything’s fairly short.

I think this is a pretty fair breakdown from the pics. I would personally add quite a bit more to the spread. I think it's a bit easier to get a reasonable judgement without a hunter sitting 3' behind him playing camera tricks! Here are 2 more of him (not the best, his cows were feeding at the cam and he was off in the distance) but gives different perspective. Few more weeks, we'll have to see which way he gets pushed.  :dunno:

I think the royals are closer to 15 than 20 and the mains won’t break 50. Go out the smack down on him and let us know what he scores.

So I talked with the OP earlier this year when he posted pics of this bull on the general area of this bull elk. The reasoning was that we harvested this bull in 2013. I would say genetically they are related. As for the area these bull are at least 30 mile apart from each other as a crow flys.

They collared him a month before the season so there was no data. They didn’t really want us eating him do to the tranquilizer used.
