Post by: bow4elk on December 28, 2010, 02:02:55 PM: Congrats! I always go with my gut rather than trying to piece together a score from photos. I'd say that bull is a 255-260ish class bull. Looks like a gorgeous rack regardless of score. Short main beams but good overall proportions. Love the dark color and polished tines.

Yuppers dad is getting a full shoulder mount from a local taxidermist. He is stoked. Yeah there was 1/2 inch difference in the length of the mainbeams longest is 41inches, and spread was 36inchs, and 34 1/2 at the tips. Tines ranged between 11 and 16 inches respectively it is really symetrical. Thanks everyone for the kind words!!
