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!!
I'd rather have a bow in my hand then this keyboard!

That is a shooter for sure, I love the symetry.  My guess is a little over 300.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

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.
