bone he is surely shooter class, but if you were hoping for a spot in the book, well if he puts a little more into the brows and holds the upper mass I think you will be close. I am gonna guess 360-365...gross.

Here is the 388 bull I was talking about.I can tell you the eye guards are all between 18 to 20 inches the thirds are 17 and 18 the fourths are 21 and the fifths are 16. May help for referance ? Oh and the main beams are 51 and 52.

Man what a beautiful bull! I love the dark color and the ivory tips. He has great thirds, fifths, good mass, and good main beam length. I like the way his thirds start just below his fourths. Did he break off his fourth on the left or is it just shorter? His firsts and seconds look to be about 14 or 15 inches to me but I could be wrong. I would say he is right around 360 to 365 gross but I am usually a little low. I also noticed several bulls chasing cows and bugling in Nov.

Bone,
Taking a second look, his G-1 on his left looks longer. It could be 17 or 18 inches. And he doesn't look a whole lot smaller than the 388 bull. I think his main beams are at least 50 to 52. One heck of a bull!

You forgot his 6ths and I would probably give him better than a 42 inch spread or at least as conservative as 45. Maybe a little bit more on the swords, but close on the rest. I appreciate everyones opinion, and supporting evidence.

i just gave him 40" on spread, pretty hard to tell that.
he definitely has the look I want.

Bone, A pretty bull for sure and you allready know that his fronts are the weak spot with that said I think he's close but looks like 355-360 to me if I could have gotten 17 on the G-1 & 2's then I'd say no problem but I think that they are realistically 13-14.

I would guess between 360 and 370. The heavy mass might make him a little harder to guess the score. Great looking bull. How far away were you?

About 450-500 yards. He'd died if I had the 06 and the proper tag without a problem and I WOULD HAVE taken the shot.

I think he's easily 350 net, and 360 wouldn't surprise me - much more would, though. I love the mass, but inches get the score. GREAT thirds and 5ths, just good 4ths, and average 1s and 2s (I know they hook more than average, but they're not exceptionally long). So, he needs the beam length to get there, and he doesn't have exceptionally long beams.
That said, this is pretty much my ultimate bull, a fully mature, unbroken MASSIVE bull. I'd take him over a spindlier bull with higher scoring tine and beam lengths any day.
