I'd say it scores 6x7. Pretty good if you ask me!

Handsome old bull of the woods.  Bet not too many other bulls played push-of-war with that battle worn sentinal.  Inches never ad up to who's in charge :chuckle:

Unfortunately girth doesn't do much for score, though its my favorite characterisic.  By losing that front tine you lose about 30 inches, 15 for the missing tine, and 15 for the tine its matched up against.  It doesn't matter how beefy the swords are, its all about length.  This is one of those bulls that score means nothing.  He is just a dang COOL bull.

Get a hold of Bow4Elk on this forum when he gets back in town.  He's an official measurer and lives in Olympia but he's chasing elk himself right now.
