Val's 390 class Blue Mountain Bull Elk

Hey folks thought you might enjoy this.
A customer of mine found theses sheds on his property and wanted them mounted. I'm not an official scorer but like most of you can get a pretty good idea of gross scores. I taped the left side at 179 and the right at 175 and change. Now realizing that they are sheds i estimated a 36in inside spread that I felt was pretty conservative. By my estimation that ranges this bulls score at about 390 and I would bet the spread was a little wider than I gave them credit for but due to the conventional shed mounting system I was constraint by design.
These were on the ground about 7 months before Val found them so I know the colore looks a little dark. Most of the brow tines were missing (chewed) and allot of the left main beam. I had to color them a little darker than I would have liked to hide the repairs.
Anyway Enjoy
Jeff

I think sheds get a 40" credit for elk

Thanks and I think your right on the 40 inch credit I have mounted elk with spreads as high as 50 inches and as low as 30. When mounting sheds spread is a subjective issue. I start at 36 and see how they look and go from there.
With a 40 inch credit theses sheds are getting dangerously close to 400 gross
Thanks

Thanks guys:
I guess I could have included a few close up's .....I thought of leaving the antlers out of the pic but that would have been a
Customer already picked up the mount or I would put a few more pics on here.
Thanks for the business Val

Actually on second thought If you click on the pic you can zoom in so that should do it

I zoomed in like you said to do, didn't know you could do that....
Your repairs looked great, nicely done.
