I think that’s over 300. My bull measured 300 and yours looks wider with longer points up top. My guess is 314 1/4. :tup:

I'd say 310.  Is this your bull?  Any photos after the kill? Take it to the Sportsman Show and get scored.  Certainly is a keeper.  Beautiful rack.

Certainly 300+

310-315ish
Title: Re: 300 Class Bull???
Post by: BeerBugler on January 02, 2019, 07:34:14 AM
315-320

Add a spread credit of 36 and you get 316"

I always error on the low side so I'd say hes a min 315.  Good odds it's a bit bigger.

This one was 330 so yea I would say 300-320 sounds right.
Title: Re: 300 Class Bull???
Post by: DOUBLELUNG on January 02, 2019, 09:19:19 AM
I'd say so
Title: Re: 300 Class Bull???
Post by: Gentrys on January 02, 2019, 09:28:15 AM
Yes, he's my bull from Montana.  He's with a taxidermist just to have the beetles do their job. Hope to get him sometime soon.
By far the biggest one I've ever shot, and I'm not good with the whole visual scoring thing so really appreciate the input!
Title: Re: 300 Class Bull???
Post by: dvolmer on January 02, 2019, 10:28:41 AM
310-325 is my guess.  Hard to make a guess on something like this.  Its defiantly over 300 in my opinion.

My guess is 294-296. I'll give my breakdown later.

I'd be really surprised if that bull doesn't pass 300".

I have a 289 that is quite symmetrical like that bull.   Very similar on the bottom, but your tops way outdo mine.

It will be fun to hear if you post a score.

I'm going to guess 314.

A STUD bull, no matter the score.

I will say that I'm usually low but here goes. Definitely a stud bull and congrats!

Post by: Romulus on January 11, 2019, 08:41:51 AM
Well over 300...…..tell the beam lengths and could guess it within a few inches.

Nice bull!!
Title: Re: 300 Class Bull???
Post by: meatwhack on January 11, 2019, 10:36:56 AM
I’d say he’s 320ish. Definitely over 300” though.
Title: Re: 300 Class Bull???
Post by: Ace on January 15, 2019, 06:04:30 PM
I’d give him a 320”

I hate trying to judge elk off of photos, I think they can fool you the worst. That being said I’d put him 310-315

Still waiting to get it back.  I'll be sure to post it once I score it and include a couple pics of the finished product.

Trophyhunt: Is that bull's right side G1 or G2 deformed? The pic isn't clear. I'm believing what you said about scoring, but I can't get 301" on that bull--I get substantially more. What am I missing? What is deceptive about the pic?

probably short on his mains from what I can see.  That said, I've met Trophy.  He probably ran out of toe's to add with so just settled on 301 :chuckle:

No deformed antlers, almost no deductions.  I'm not sure why the cell phone pic makes it look bigger, I agree, it's looks much bigger in the photo.

Finally got my bull back from the taxidermist in MT.  He must have the slowest working dermestid beetles in the world.  Almost 5 months to get him back.  If you ever want to know who not to drop your skull off with in Central MT, let me know.  Hard to get a straight answer out of these guys on why it was taking so long.  At one point I thought they had lost it.  I'm pretty sure they misplaced it.  Anyway, it looks good.  Scored him at 302 5/8.
