RE: What does this elk score?

With only one angle to look at it's a little hard.
Not extremely wide, small 3rds, no sweep on the 6's.
Nice beams, good 4ths, 6x6
He will probably go 330

Great bull!

He'll go about 315" maybe 320
I would be very surprised if he was much over that anyway!

RE: What does this elk score?

Thanks guys. Good guesses. I scored him (I think I'm accurate to within an inch or two) @ 329 gross and 317 4/8net. I thought he was a 340-350" bull before I scored him. My taxidermist and several other hunters also guessed that. I guess his mass (his first circumference measurement on the left side was 9") makes him look bigger but he's not too long (50 and 47" main beams) and not too wide (36" inside spread).

I was thinking 340 to 350 myself, mass can mess a guys thinking up! It does it to me on whitetails! Congrats on the bull!
