But long story short. Bull down at 3:30pm Wednesday in barber springs 340 unit. October 29th 2014. Finished quartering bull and hung in the tree by 1 am. Back to camp by noon Thursday. Took care of the front shoulders and head/hide. Run in to town for supply's and drinks. Back to camp by 9 pm to camp. Dinner and drinks and in bed by 2 am. Up at 5am and waited for my buddy to come back from the morning hunt and all three of us pack the rest out Friday morning. What a work out for a big guy. But it was well worth the effort. Had it scored BC final score was 321 2/8th BC 6x6. Used my Browning BLR in 300 win mag.

So when is the official Boneaddict score coming?
Post by: bear hunter on March 11, 2015, 09:51:46 PM
It is a trophy to me and I love the shape and color. I don't think I will ever have a chance for a bigger bull in my life time.
I was only going to do a euro mount, but I saved the hide just in case I changed my mind. All my hunting buddy's and friend said to have him mounted. I gave in and he is at the taxidermist's now. He will have his head semi turned bugling. I can't wait to see him finished. Only thing is I have no room for the mount and my buddy said I can keep it at his house until I buy my own place.

No tribal entries allowed? This contest is more elite than B&C? I would put money on Colville vs. the field. I believe they see a better representation of trophy potential year after year with proper management. :twocents:

Congrats Bone!!!

Probably should give it to the guy who had it "officially" scored according to the rules posted. If we were doing "unofficial" you probably would have more entries and scores beating Bones.

You will have to point me to the rule that says you must have an official score. I see a rule that says the official scoring system is to be used. We have used unofficial scores in the past. The only reason for requesting an official score would be if there were very close scores and the winner could not be clearly determined.

My bad.... I read through it again and you are correct. I glanced at it and rule # 4 states "official B&C" score so I assumed it needed to be measured legitimately by an official scorer.
Most alleged measurements we see on this site are definitely off base and not calculated correctly but I think in this contest it's irrelevant.
