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.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

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.
