RE: MY First 350 bull elk
Don't forget the terrrific inside spread...................still my guess is more 330, but way over 310.

Wow! That sucks!
But I think it is a pretty solid 350, with 8" g-5's, 18" g-4's, 6-8" g-3's, and g-1&2's ~10" and 45" mains with decent mass(hard to tell with velvet obviously). Pretty sweet nonetheless. Amazing that the rack wasn't hurt in the crash.

325 would be my guess. It sucks about your truck.
I hit a Whitetail buck on the way to work one morning at about 70 MPH and it wrecked the front clip as well. the worst thing though was an older man pulled up and looked at the deer and said: "Son, that one had horns you shouldn't've hit him." Well, Gee thanks I don't know why I didn't think of that myself.

RE: MY First 350 bull elk
this is my archery bull from last fall, gross score of 334 i personally think this bull would gross in the low 350s. i have been wrong before, but with years and years of taxidermy under my belt and scoring elk, i feel i am within 10 points i still cant believe a half ton took a hit like that.

That's terrible luck, but at least you have proof for when people don't believe that you saw a monster on the side of the road. Hope your luck changes for the season. Looking at last year's bull, if you ever need a hunting partner, let me know.

RE: MY First 350 bull elk
That really bites. I'm sure it was very cool to see him on the ground and taking a few pics but I'm sure that wasn't the way you wanted to do it. Were you in the truck alone? Hopefully you and any passengers are ok.
Pictures can be decieving but I would say your guess of 350 isn't too far off. He's closer to 350 than 310 anyway.
