Ok so i cant tell you how many people see a picture of an animal and say they no exactly what it scores. I just want to see how good some poeple are at this skill so give me your best guess!!!
-
321 3/8. i have completely pulled that number out of my arse...
there better be a story and more pics when this game is over. thats a nice muzzleloader bull.
-
I am NOT one of those that are great at scoring a bull without laying hands on it but I'll throw 315 3/8ths out there.
I agree, I hope we get the story behind this bull afterward! Great lookin' animal regardless of the final score.
-
328 2/8....Gross
-
Just a shot in the dark. 313 :dunno:

OH THE STORY I FORGOT MY BAD HERE GOES
It was a cold october morning on my families ranch while my brother dad and i sat in early twighlight waiting for light to come. My brother and both pulling multi season elk tags this was our first trip out with a muzzle load usually stick with a bow. It wasn't long before we heard a bull bugling nothin like the faint scream of a bull to get your heart racing. When light came we spotted the heard of twenty head which included two 6X6's a couple rags and the rest cows. The elk were moving threw a long valley about 3/4 of a mile from us, we paralled them until we caught up and were right in the mix of things. I had harvested my first bull only a mile from there the year before so i told chase my brother he could shoot first. As we belly crawled threw the sage brush the smaller six stepped into view Chase was wasting no time getting a rest. I ranged him at 154 yards as the smoke cloud errupted from the barrel i heard the bullet hit. When the smoke cleared the first six point was down. As the heard crested the far hill about a mile out i looked at my brother and father and said "I'll see you tonight" :) i literaly ran to the last place i seen them and begain to track the running heard. After about an hour i caught up to them. To my relief they looked like they were about to bed down and they did in a horrible place for a stalk. It was very open in all direction except for some small mounds of grass. After two hours flat on my belly i crawled with on fifty yard of the heard. But where is the big bull? I couldnt go any further because i had a spike at thirty yards to my left. Finally i seen him get up and pick out a new bed and just as he began to lay down i let the Black Diamond go to work. The bull dropped in his track right around 11:45 two 6X6's in one morning! It was a great day on the Hubbard Ranch :chuckle: :IBCOOL: A lil hint Chases was smaller and it scored 265 sorry no pic though
-
286!!! ;)
-
325
-
345 class...hard to tell from one pic.
-
I put him around 293, how about a broad side pic.
-
298 :dunno:
-
by quick glance I would have called it a 280 bull. Thats 280-289
-
What are you hiding in your left hand? :)
-
288 7/8 :chuckle:
-
I'm gonna go right around 295.
-
Right about 291 gross
-
I was going to say also, it is easier for me to judge them on the hoof, too many weird picture angles can make a bull look alot bigger than it acyually is. I may have over guessed but I think I am close??
-
Just a guess but maybe 310ish :dunno:
-
319" gross... I think I'm closs but thats a really weird angle....
Michael
-
Lets stab at it 287
-
Its probably going to be closer to 282 ;)
-
and we wonder where elk scores come from out in the woods. We have from 280 to 345 and it isn't on the hoof which always adds another 20 or more or running which adds another 20 :chuckle:
-
:chuckle:
-
You also have the excitement factor when you are the one holding that all elusive big bull tag....add another 10 inches :chuckle:
-
304 tops. Where his bases come out of his head you can tell he is younger. Lots of decieving stuff here!! This is always fun!!
-
Looks like 300" gross score.
-
312 5/8 gross
-
Nice Bull! I would say 310 - 320 from my armchair, I'll go on record as 316 2/8
-
279
-
269
-
303 gross, 285-290 net, short G3's which is common, but nice bull! Remember NETS ARE FOR FISH. :chuckle:
-
Hummm....I think 282.and 1/2 ( sorry Chairly I didn't see yours first!)..but lets ask Smokey....
He says.......oh he's watching tv....
-
OK I snaged him And Smokey says 337 :drool:
Long way from what I guessed!
-
342
-
315 gross 304 net
-
315
-
307
-
291 3/8
-
That is a great bull congratulations!!!
296"
-
Hey Ane, I think Smokey watches too many of those hunting shows where they always pad the scores. LOL J/K
-
Before I saw anyones score I thought 284 so I will stick with that.
-
WELL??
-
272"
-
275 Gross. This bull is obviously real deceiving! :dunno:
-
Looks like a bunch of people on here have been smoking a little too much wacky tobacky. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Their vision has been blurred and depth perception obscured. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
Tough to say from the camera angle, but he's definently under 300.
I'll say 280ish
-

Pathfinder you are way wrong that bull is obviously 279 1/2 :chuckle:
-
:chuckle: :chuckle: I guess I wasn't using my "calibrated eye"...
-
I'd say upper 290's -300.
-
Would love to know what the official score is........
-
X2
-
X3
-
289 3/8
-

Is that what it scored?
-
ArcheryKing......SCORE NOW!! :chuckle:
-
I'll play along with a 322" guess. I'm thinking the angles are going to throw us off some.
-
Archery king is my buddie and he said he'd post the score tomorrow at 5 and no later haha
-
280-285, good bull.
-
:party1: :party1: 291 net :party1: :party1:
-
270 class (strange photo)
-
287 :dunno:
-
strange photo for sure. but i bet if we all tried ,we could each post a pic we took that looks photo shopped but isnt :twocents:
-
282 :dunno:
-

Smokey's not the king ( But don't tell him!) :yike:
-
My 10 year old just came in the kitchen while I was on this thread and wants to take a shot at it. He pushed his finger along each point trying to estimate how many inches. Added it all up and got 234.
I guess if we are elk hunting and he says "that's a 300 bull" I'd better shoot, huh...?
-
309 3/8
give or take 1/8
:chuckle:
I stink at guessing elk.
Whitetail are the only think I am good at. I guess because I have seen so many of them?
-
WOW I Just got back in town from working thats a lot of responses guys thanks a lot the highest guess was 345 the lowest was 234. You guys are very correct that this pic is deciving and i thank my father for the great photgraphy ;)! I thought a huge give away would be the muzzle loader layin on his chest it looks big compared to the horns.
THE OFFICAL SCORE IS!!!!!!!!!!!
275'' NET AND GROSS 278 1/8" CONGRADS TO ANY ONE IN THE 270 TO 280 RANGE
Thanks for playing along ya'll this was fun i hope some of you learned that pics can be deciving so dont belive every thing you see on the internet!! lol
-
looks like link would be the winner at 279.
I was only 43" off...not bad.
:(
-
Congrds Finnman good call!!!
-
Just so everybody knows the only reason Finnman knew to guess 275 is I got a PM after my post telling me that I was the closest. So Finnman had a little help from his little brother. My first guess was 272"

I was so close at 279 1/2. Actually I was going to say 275 but I thought I'd be a :sas: and say 279 1/2 because Pathfinder said 280 :chuckle:
