Guess this old bull's score.
« on: March 10, 2012, 03:40:56 PM »
Don't know the exact history of this bull, but he has hung on the wall of Dan Bailey's Fly Shop in Livingston, Montana since I can remember.  Mid 1970's.  Someone there once told me the skull cap was split so the score can't be official.  I'm just guessing he came out of Yellowstone Park one cold morning and was killed by someone forgotten now.  When I was a kid I would wander into the shop and just stare at this old guy.  Right next door was a taxidermist shop I spent some time in too.





I'm getting a little sentimental.  Here is Main Street small town USA.  We use to go hunting only twenty minutes from home.

Oh, heck I'll give it a try.  Not good at this but.............. Lots of length, 3rds are nice, pretty good width, only thing lacking is mass. Trouble is, I don't know what percentage the mass measurement gives to overall score.   I'd say he is 340-350 ???

John Bailey, Dan Bailey Fly Shop founder, harvested that bull in the late '60's in the Crazy Mountains, which is the mountain range in the back drop of the photo above.
