Didn't they outlaw trail cameras in Montana?  :dunno:

Great pictures nonetheless.  (Maybe they were from Idaho right?  :chuckle:)

I would say 310-320 +-, but I am no scorer.
And trail cams are not illegal in Montana.  :dunno:I know because  I live here :)
But you can't use salt licks in either state!! :tup:

He's kinda weak on the back, but great up to the top.  Solid 320".  Great character -- I'd shoot.

there's no way that bull is under 330... mid 340's at least I'd say.

what do you guys give him for lengths?

Ill go 325 max and the one third is 16 ish but the other side looks shorter to me. Looks to me that the bull does not have a very big bodie either ??

go 49.5 on the beams with the kink and 22 inch swords and I'll give you the 16 on the thirds, though I think the shorter one is 16. :)

I think its the bulls fault.  He's longarming his best side.   kind of an uneven *censored*.   You have to come half way though.  Hes not a 315 bull.
