I'd guess, but I'd be too far off.  Nice looking bull.

I am a certified expert internet scorer.  Using my digital virtual tape, it measured  315 3/8 before deductions.

That is sure a beaut.    Congrats!

I'll say not over 300" More in the 280" or less range. Still a really nice elk and I'd be proud of that for my first one!

Great job!!

That is a shooter for sure, I love the symetry.  My guess is a little over 300.

Nice bull! Main beams are a little on the short side so I'd say 285"

My guess is about 290 or so. I shot one my first elk in Montana last year that was a little smaller and it was in the 270's. No matter what, nice bull and well done.

Well he is a true 7x7, so points wise he's bigger than any bull I've ever killed.  Score wise I'm gonna put him in the high 280's, maybe 290ish.

Looks like a mainframe 290 bull to me.  The 7th points will add about 12-15 inches to that.  I'll say he broke 300".
Now, go put a tape on him, so how close we are.... :tup:

Having shot a 280 and a 284, I'm going to say no way is that bull under 300.

I'll stake my entire internet antler scoring reputation on it, and if I'm wrong I'll never guess again until next time.

It will be fun to hear what it tapes out at, but I'll stick with my original guess.
