Looks like a 290 bull to me. Could go higher though.

His royals and thirds are small but he has some nice mass. Looks like an old bull. 
Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

Looks like 270 - 280" to me.. His thirds and fourths aren't very big and short beam length.. It's still a bull which I haven't killed this year though, and I wouldn't be complaining one bit!!

Looks like an old bull alright but not close to 300 in my estimation with those short points. However I saw those guys bootprints all over the tucannon so they earned it!! Its bowhunting so hard to pass a great setup especially after 7 or 8 days in that country. Wish I had some pics of the bulls we passed and saw over there....WOW! Good job nice bull. nwhunter

Mtncook - walleyerick and I were down there this past weekend (you might check his post under "tribal hunting")  Weve got a pretty good idea of what is in store for us. :yike:  I'm real new to this site (even though I've been following it since Wenha trip).  Don't know how to PM yet, but if you can, let me know and we can stay in touch.

Agree with above posts.  Heavy, old bull.  Definitely on the downhill side of his antler growth.  Those short, thick beams and tines happen a lot here in the Blues.  One of the guys that works for me found a beautiful shed last week.  Thick and massive, bur real short tops.  The thing was massive though.  Not many places on the beam where you can wrap your hand around and touch fingers.

I wouldn't worry about what he measures.  Nice bull.

Nice old bull. Good job!

Here's a little one.  A couple friends of ours had a buddy tag.  2 bulls and 1 cow in 2 days for camp.
