Title: Guess the Score
Post by: tmike on April 17, 2008, 08:34:42 PM: With all the *censored*ty topics (pun intended) lately, and people with a lot of time on their hands I thought I'd post some pictures of a Wyoming Bull. A friend acquired it from a deceased in law. Evidently this pig was killed in the early 70s and sat in a warehouse for many years. It now sits in a place where it can be truely appreciated. Especially by me since I almost died hanging it up there. I'm no expert but I took some measurements before he went up. What do you think? I'll post what I came up with later.
His final resting place

Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: Coasthunterjay on April 17, 2008, 09:20:42 PM: that looks like a very big Elk. great mass overall. Great long points on the right side and very thick points on the left....Great looking animal tom...is that at your place?
I think alot of people might be under scoring it. Im not a huge scorer but that looks BIG to me.....

Im going to guess 368 ish.

Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: 50CalJim on April 17, 2008, 09:59:10 PM: Actually Huntinphool I guessed 340" but then I saw that you had already took my number so I just rounded it up a bit. :sas:

Post by: boneaddict on April 18, 2008, 06:57:51 AM: 339 7/8
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: tmike on April 18, 2008, 07:22:39 AM: jackelope,
When I post the real score it won't be the real score because i'm not an expert. I took all the measurements with a string and then laid it out against a tape measure I had pinned down. I then entered the totals on a sheet from the B & C website. I was as careful as I could be. That's my disclaimer! With that said the winner gets a fully guided Mole hunt in Black Diamond with as many beverages of choice you can pound down in an evening. :brew: Oh and i came up with 48.5 and 44 for the main beams. I'll post my score after Bball tonight.

Post by: archery288 on April 18, 2008, 07:39:29 AM: I would say 342" gross...
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: Hornseeker on April 18, 2008, 08:46:15 AM: Right after I looked at it I said to myself, "that is a solid 350 bull"... I'm just gonna go with... oh.... heck... 350. If someone already said that, I'll go 351... Gross.
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: hogsniper on April 18, 2008, 08:50:29 AM: Im gonna say 366 2/8..... :P :chuckle:

Post by: kirkl on April 18, 2008, 09:39:25 AM: 370 1/4
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: Hornseeker on April 18, 2008, 12:41:05 PM: kirkl, a guy from Oregon came on another site, an archery site, and his name is kirkl.. I thought maybe it was you...but it wasn't! Good to see ya around though..

Ernie

By the way...I"m sure no one will argue... this is a dandy bull regardless of his score! :0)
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: Todd_ID on April 18, 2008, 01:07:15 PM: 17" G3's makes a big bull. He's got good mass and length. I'll guess 370. Beautiful bull!
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: tmike on April 18, 2008, 06:47:35 PM: Two more hints if you want to change your guess. G1's 16 and 16.75, G2's 18.25 and 18.75
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: rougheye on April 18, 2008, 07:04:53 PM: gross score 362 5/8
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: archery288 on April 18, 2008, 07:39:31 PM: The more and more I look at this bull the more it compares to my dads... My dad's had 47" main beams 17 5/8" thirds and all symetrical... and well you get the point... and his was 333" gross... This bull is close to that, but not a ton over!
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: Ridinshotgun on April 18, 2008, 07:59:08 PM: 350 even
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: Coasthunterjay on April 18, 2008, 08:02:17 PM: Give any circumfrance hints...maybe a greatest spread?
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: tmike on April 18, 2008, 08:57:15 PM: 8 circ. between 1st and 2nd, 44 inside.

Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: tmike on April 18, 2008, 09:12:25 PM: One more whisk and I'll give you what I have. Someone nailed it, at least what I came up with. Post a pic of your dad's bull.
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: archery288 on April 18, 2008, 09:13:57 PM: here is my dads... 333" gross 328 1/4" net... 44 1/4" inside. 17 5/8" thirds.. 17" fourths...
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: tmike on April 18, 2008, 09:27:18 PM: That's a nice bull. The only thing this one has on it is a little longer 4ths and 5ths. Here's the sheet. Bucklucky nailed my score, but since I'm not a B and C scorer everyone within 36 inches wins! Thanks for playing, he's a bull of a lifetime.

Post by: Coasthunterjay on April 18, 2008, 09:29:25 PM: i was way off....i suck again....lol.......
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: boneaddict on April 18, 2008, 09:32:06 PM: Goes to show that a 340 bull is a HAWG you should be proud of. Both of these fit in that category.
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: boneaddict on April 18, 2008, 09:33:13 PM: p.s I'm actually closer than Mray because he always guesses gross and I always guess net. :)
Title: Re: Guess the Score
Post by: M_ray on April 18, 2008, 09:35:14 PM: You know me too well! ;) I was thinking the same thing I allways look now on these things to see what Bone guesses! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
