Herd bull in the snow
« on: October 07, 2009, 01:46:41 PM »
Here's a herd bull we got on last week during the start of a mild storm.  What do you guys figure this guy would score?

You should have put the last one in the "in the background" thread. Those are some neat photos.

When they are that big I would forget all about score. It really wouldn't matter.  :yike: :yike: :yike:

A Royal bull doesn't get much bigger than that guy or more symmetric. The spread on those 5th and 6th points is awesome. Hope he's breeding well with his cows so there are more like him in the future!

I'd guess him to be a 360+ bull.. not a great deal of girth but really long tines.

Nice... Yellowstone or what?

I have to go 375 with him... mass is so little in a score, that boys got length...those 5th's make a lot of ground for him.

I do not know or care what he would score. I would say you scored by getting some really neat pictures. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Brandon.  I see that thread just popped back up.  I'll have to add it there also.

That's a cranker bull.  I never saw anything like that there.  Good capture.

Thanks, this was in GTNP - he would come out with his harem at the back of a long meadow.  We went back through the trees and came out so that we could get some reasonable pics from about 200 yards away.
