They're real.  A lady that works for me used to work Hanford patrol.  I don't know how her field judging skills are, but her ex husband grew up hunting in Montana, and I believe him.  He still works out there and says there are a few bulls 400+.

I've done the math a hundred times, this bull is definitely 100% over 450". definitely.

It's hard to say a number like that but this one has it.
