Pictures always make an animal look bigger or smaller depending how you set up the photo, rarely does a photo accurately show size. I think this bull has really good tines, all of them, even the thirds are good, not a lot of mass but good tines. All the tines look 2 to 5 inches longer than a typical 320. I guess anywhere from 340 to 360 gross, depending if the photo makes him look bigger or smaller.

Throw some mass on that bull and you almost have buckluckys bull... But probably with a little more width...  I'll say a guess of 346" gross...  ;)

I thought 330 before i looked at everyone's guesses so I would say I am close with that.

I take that as an insult, wheres the tine length on that bull. Looks short to me.  :chuckle:

340" bull.  Pistol and bloody arrow must mean Idaho, or at least not WA?  Any more story?  That's a heck of a bull for a bow kill no matter where it was.

I'm w/ bearpaw...340-360" hard to tell with one picture and the angle. definitely no weak spots on that bull but unfortunately nothing super strong either.

A really good classic looking bull.

I guess my official guess is 347 6/8"

They got some curvature much like your bull's don't they?  I think its a deceptive picture, but I don't think he's horribly far behind.  We'll see when the score is posted today! lol

The problem I see with that bull is one side is weak and the other side is strong. My score of 335, which I posted earlier, is based on the weak side. Will be interesting to see the actual score.

It's tough to tell. I think the guy is tall? 6'4"-6'6"? The Bull looks like he has 50 inch main beam's. Nice tine length but no mass. I will say 345. I would also like to see the measurements.

After further review, I must up my score a bit to 330ish.  Looks to have about a 40 inch inside, close to 50 inch beams, going with 49 each, the fronts look to be around 14ish same with the thirds, Hard to tell on the swords but Im going with 17 and the fifths are about 12-13, below average mass. Lets see what that adds up too  ;) Good bull for sure especially if it was a general season bull. I hope to find one like him this year.

Well after my calculations it is a 321 bull, those were a little conservative on some? Mass can throw it off, real light mass can make tines look alot longer than they really are. I'll go 330 though.
