Any Score Guesses?
« on: April 21, 2011, 07:47:27 PM »
Just wandering if any of you guestimators would get me a close score on these hogs?  Finally got them scored!! Looks to be a 320 Bull when giving the set a conservitive spread measurement.. Thanks for all the help Ric.. And thanks to all for the complements.

Found them in the woods.. I am not worth a darn @ using these score charts yet. Have to get someone who knows what there doing to show me where to measure the points and such.. I can tell you that the mass is 8in. in the smallest spot between all the points until the measurement between the 4th and 5th is a little over 6in. I was just stoked to finally get my hands on some elk sheds this yr. Everybody else has been killing it and I have been killing my boots..

Best way I have found is using watered down oil paints. Raw umber seems to be the best for elk horns. But there is a method behind the madness  :chuckle: Thse antlers would color up pretty easily . Just have to do trial runs , start light and add layers, wipe off any spots that need highlighted. If you dont like what your seeing wash it off. I use the water mixable oil paints by the way.

I'm assuming those were out for one year?  Is so they are in great shape!  Just goes to show how persistence pays off.
