Bison my boy shot with a bow with Bearpaw.
It was really big I don;t know how much but he shot it at 40 yards with a bow and the buffalo rancher said he never saw one go down like that and they had shot like 150 with bows there. It went down after about 1 minute to its knees and he shot again the arrows hit about 1 inch apart he was using a matthews 7 set at 70 pounds with 100 grain 3 blade muzzys. The head was big we took it to michelle and she rough scored it and it makes book by 6 or more inches.

Yes, it can be entered in SCI if it was large enough. :tup:SCI yes; no to Boone & Crockett.

They all have different minimums as well. SCI has a different method of scoring, after it shrinks he can find a scorer in his area. The minimum for bow is 46" the top 10 in the world go from 70 5/7" to 77 1/8"

So for an SCI Score you only need the length of each horn and the circumferance? You don't need any tip to tip measurments or width measurments. So the horns can be pulled off the skull?
Looking at the score sheet it appears you need circumference measurements of each horn base and the length f each horn, accompanied by a photo. I think the photo would probably be best of the horns on the skull.
I don't know for sure, but I see nothing that says a taxidermist cannot proceed with cleaning the skull. It appears the horns could be put back on the skull for the photo and measured after whatever drying period they require.
Do you know an official scorer you can call, or do you need me to call one?

Charlie/bucklucky is one. I am sure he can do it for them. If he is a member of sci it free, not sure if you are not a member if there is a fee. I know charlie is one because I took my bear that Michelle has over to him to have it scored for sci books.
