I wouldn't have guessed 347...it looks like a 315...Is you buddy 6'7" or something?  Nice bull no matter the score.  Some of that Hanford genetics starting to pay off.

I'm with ya yelp, his buddy must be a giant nice bull regardless, congrats. This bull, score wise, is not that much bigger but sure looks like a monster in comparison.

WOW I was with Finnman at 322!!! I'm going to guess 355
Title: Re: my buddies washington bowkill 07
Post by: yelp on August 07, 2008, 06:39:59 PM
Yeah Slider I was thinking of my bull in comparison its around the 346" mark.  I'm 6'1''.

Post by: pendoreilleadventures on August 07, 2008, 07:26:41 PM
7x8 the thing that looks deceiving is the mass the smallest mass measurement is like 8" and his royals are 16 inches

Post by: yelp on August 07, 2008, 08:43:01 PM
Thats it I am going to have mine re-scored...lol.  Nice bull either way man...I would shoot it in a heart beat...There are only a few of us who would pass that up for a bigger one because of score...

I guess 347" and 5/8. I'm just spit ballin'. 

What do I win?

I better get something, if I don't that'll be twice this week I got it right and was called a cheater!  :'(
Title: Re: my buddies washington bowkill 07
Post by: wastickslinger on August 07, 2008, 10:43:07 PM
I didnt cheat. I just used my best judgement. My best judgement told me to look at the other post where you told the score.  :chuckle: Is my prize a guided elk hunt, cause I could use one. I promise I wont second gess your scoring like the other knuckle heads.  :chuckle: Just kidding guys.
Title: Re: my buddies washington bowkill 07
Post by: Opportunist on August 07, 2008, 11:14:06 PM
That's an absolute pig of a bull! All of them!

Wastickslinger, I was just doing the same thing. I ain't worth a *censored* at judging bulls from pictures on the internet. I was called a cheater on another bull scoring post. Reference points are all screwey for me. I'm descent at field judging but no good at picture judging, I always wait for the official score to be posted before I make my guess. I didn't read any rules on the contest.  :)   Most of my field scoring is done after we've rolled out the guts, packed the bull out of the *censored*hole and tossed a few down at camp. Just for *censored*s and giggles, this is a picture of a bull my hunting partner killed, I know the official score.

What's he score?

I dont know about 347. It just dont add up. Mass can really throw lengths off but wow! Not saying it doesnt score 347, my eyes just dont score it at that :chuckle: Can you post all the measurements and girths on him. I wrote down what I had and would like to compare to see where I went wrong. I was definately off on the mass. Thats a dandy bull!!
Title: Re: my buddies washington bowkill 07
Post by: pendoreilleadventures on August 08, 2008, 09:01:47 AM
that is the offical pope and young score 347 5/8th
Title: Re: my buddies washington bowkill 07
Post by: Hornseeker on August 08, 2008, 09:16:36 AM
PV,

I know its wrong, but like many...that pic MUST be deceiving!

Do you know Jack Schubert?

Can you post measurements ?I want to see where I went wrong. I didnt say it didnt score 347. I said my eyes just dont see it. Its me thats screwed up man!ME!   :chuckle:
Title: Re: my buddies washington bowkill 07
Post by: huntnphool on August 08, 2008, 09:25:50 AM
Hornseeker, don't you mean 327 7/8 or perhaps 328 1/8? 328 was my guess you thief :chuckle:

Looks like you're as bad at this as I am ;) I can tell you this though, I am seriously going to have to regroup my thinking on the bulls I have been passing on in Montana :bash:
Title: Re: my buddies washington bowkill 07
Post by: Hornseeker on August 08, 2008, 10:44:41 AM
I did'nt even look at your guess  :dunno: I looked at the bull and immediately thought 305...then scrolled ahead and saw PV's score..then said...wait a minute...went back to the pic with a calc and gave him what I thought were generous measurements and came up with 328...then subtracted the couple kickers and some "general" asymmetry and came up with that! :rolleyes:

Like mentioned above...I am NOT saying it doesn't score 347...but I sure would like to know where I"m off!

Regardless....I will shoot that bull every year...bow or rifle, opening day without giving it a second thought...you dont see them like that very often!

356 gross
Title: Re: my buddies washington bowkill 07
Post by: flyguide on August 08, 2008, 06:55:54 PM
I put my guess in without realizing that the contest was over, that is a bigger bull than it looks like.  To me the 7th makes the Main beam look shorter than it is and that mass is phat.  Its pretty strong all the way around, obviously I went high at 356 but I'll believe 347 without batting an eye.

Can you post a pic of the state record moose shed you are holding in your av? I am moose shed crazy (along with a few others on this site!).

I've known Jack for 30 years....killed my first bear over Jack's dogs when I was 9 years old...been a long time since I've seen him though...couple years.

You know John at the Sports store in Newport? THey sure do have a sweet wall of pics in that that store...its fun to see the critters that come out of that country every year...

Ernie

PS...dont get too discouraged about us questioning the score on that bull...pics are hard... we aren't calling you a liar, some of us just aren't seeing it....if you say its there....then...its there.
